this video is broken up into 5 parts:
1. how to find your skin undertone (warm, cool, neutral, or olive). (apologies, i don't discuss neutral much.)
2. review of the seasonal color analysis system (are you a winter, summer, spring, or autumn?)
3. review of the artistic license color system (are you cool or warm? bright or delicate?)
4. how to intuitively assess your best color
5. how to use canva to test all colors against your skin tone
people with olive skin undertones are not clearly warm nor cool toned. instead, they may suffer from looking green, ghastly, or having a pallor because of the mix of blues and yellows in their skin. some widely accepted color-matching systems (seasonal color analysis and the artistic license color system) may fall short for people with olive undertones because of the rigid adherence to the warm vs. cool camps. as an asian person with olive undertones, i was mismatched my whole life as a warm-toned person, but am now realizing that i am actually best suited with slightly cool colors.
ultimately, i think many asian folks with an olive undertone that is slightly cool, who have light skin and dark hair, can be best suited for deep, cool tones, like navy blue, eggplant, and emerald. your results may vary based on your skin's subtle warmth or coolness, your skin and hair color, as well as your personal style. if this interests you, consider trying the canva experiment to find the color(s) that make you look most radiant!

As a fellow olive toned girl I agree navy blue does make me feel more 'alive' (if that makes any sense)
I feel so HEARD oml half my closet is navy
I am olive and the opposite because I am warm :/
i need a navy or blue with a bit of green in it Its weird
Same here omg! 🥺
Yes! I feel like I glow when I wear navy or light blue hahah
I am Hispanic with mostly Mediterranean ancestry and I am GREEN af. Very pale in the winter or a grayish muted tan in summer, doesn’t matter, I look dead. Look very similar to you. I have learned and mastered the colors, particularly for my makeup. I cannot use anything that is even barely warm. I call our kind: the forgotten skin tone. We are so utterly ignored.
Aww, the forgotten ones!! I'm totally with you.
@@lizachu ❤️
@@lizachu Olive IS actually yellow, but on the extreme end of yellow, yellow leaning green.
@@lizachu olives tan golden brown to an ashy grey.
@@lizachu a greenish yellow color if you're warm or grayish color if you're cool.
By the way, for all the olives who feel they look "dead" and ghastly or sick, I actually like the greyish, ashy look... I'm a more yellow olive than a grey olive but I always liked the ashy or porcelain grayish look. I'm only now seeing it as kind of "dead" now that yall point it out... I just always though it looked "soft", that's the word. :)
I feel like we’re similar tones. I was curious-what foundation do you use or recommend? I rarely get matched well. Thx.
I wear Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12 Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 in Light, if that helps!
It does, thanks. I’m hit and miss with Tarte. For me I find depending on the line/formula with Tarte that one color doesn’t wear the same as another with the same name.
I took a pic where I looked cute af but after a few weeks I decided to delete ir because I was grey, zombie grey 😂 normally I wouldn't care, but that pic was very grey.
points in this video that can help any warm pale olive type skin owner such as myself
1) veins around eyes and wrists are blue whereas on body they are green
2) paper white does not suit you and clashes with your complexion whereas ivory and yellowish off whites look good on you
3) yellow toned warm toned makeup looks too orange on you but neutral or cool looks too pink
4) in wither you are never too pale but is quite yellow. In summer the tan does not go orangey-brownish-reddish but goes this desert sand or grayish tone of darker brown
5) natural hair color is warm or cool depending on the lighting (in sun it looks bronze reddish brown and in some indoor lighting it looks ashy)
6) you can pull off many colours of clothing, exept some that look just wrong and dont give you anything special
7) blue/gray eyeshadow does not fit :D
8) level 8-7 yellowy blonde (is too the same with your skin color) or reddish-caramel-strawberry blonde does not fit because it washes you out, but a bit more neutral caramel hair or dirty blonde or cool platinum suits you well, bevcause these have enough contrast with the skin
9) fuchsia looks awful, and contrary to some ..navy blue does not add to your beauty
10) some muted yellow tones suit you really well (daffodil, babana,butter,mustard) and some are just horrid (lemon,neon yellow,)
11) many warm and neutral and even slightly cool pink tones suit you if they dont lean too much into cool or neon
12) gold suits you better than silver but red gold suits you even better than yellow gold because it has more contrast with your skin
...anyone can add on
YES!!! All of this is true...navy blue is not good, but royal blue is perfect.
I fit most of what you wrote. The worst color is any kind of orange. ALL pastels rre the enemy. And deep burgundy looks fantastic.
I guess im a warm-ish olive because gold suits me better but orange and yellow wash me out as they are too warm or neon on me. I wear off white too and my hair is ashy but in summer gets golden tones. For makeup I always prefer coolish/neutral tones rather then full warm
I’m southeast Asian with light olive skin, and I look dead 24/7. Once my family was having hotpot on a very cold day and my mom complimented everyone for having red cheeks... except me. I practically LIVE in navy blue and I love deep reddish plum. Anything purple just makes me look extra dead.
This is so true. Lavender either just washes me out, or I wash lavender out. It's a battle. However, when I died my hair a different color, I was able to expand my color palette. I noticed Jewel-toned purple is okay for some reason. In regulation.
i find anything with shine ( satin, sparkles, metals) are nicer, because the light reflected makes me look like i'm healthier.
All great tips!
@@ryanneantonettecimatu2774 I'm really confused because I see a green tint in my skin as Well as yellow and its light in tone. But I do look great in a dusty lavender purple color. Like is that because of the tone of it or you mean bright lavender. If anyone can relate or help me under , please do!!
@naveen qureshi same!!
Came for the olive talk, stayed for the humor and honesty and good vibes
I love that you called it olive talk -- it should be the name of a series, haha! Love your good vibes too
@@lizachu I'd be so down for a series!
Navy blue, light almost pale pink, and maroon look really good on my light olive skin
Same
I get "you look tired!" a lot... on days when I think I look good! I'm finally connecting that maybe it's an olive undertone issue, lol. I'm hispanic and have always thought I was warm, but I look awful in orange and red if it's not blue-toned. I'd love to see more olive-toned products out there!
Same :)
Wow, you went IN DEPTH. Loved that you brought out canva and showed how to use tones, etc and play with what color works with your skin.
I get a bit obsessive, haha. Thank you for tuning in!
This has become one of my favorite videos of the moment. It’s not just the information she provides but the clarity and humility of explanation. As a fellow olive toned Asian, I struggled with sickly looking tones and now I have a direction for self acceptance
That is so sweet of you to say, thank you!
I actually really love being olive and East Asian, it’s cooler than warm and different. I’m glad I found this out and it explains why I’ve always looked good in gray and silver and jewel tones. I thought I was a cool but I’m olive! Oh, and get beauty advice from Asian sources, not White ones, they don’t get us 😆beauty colonialism for real.
Right on ;)
I can tell you are such a sweet soul :) While I am not Asian nor American, I have skin very much like yours (olive overtone, cool pinkish undertone) and it's been so confusing to find the right colours. Navy blues, powder blues, dusty pinks and light greys are very flattering. Good luck with everything, I hope your channel keeps growing!!
I honestly don't know what tone I am, but I def have the "dead" and "ghastly" look mostly because my bags show kinda purplish under my eyes, and my bags have bags. Omg you have me checking my veins...and you made me crack up about the "appearing green next to golden people"
❤😂❤❤❤
I’m Asian & I think I’m neutral leaning more towards cool. Turned platinum blonde and it surprisingly looks good on me. Navy is also my best color and anything orange or yellow looking makes me look like crap. The weird thing is I think my body is more yellow but my face is lighter and pulls pink. My Mother pointed this out when we were outside in natural light. It’s all so confusing.
It really is! Best of luck and I'm sure the platinum blonde looks great on you
I have the same problem with my face !
@Audrey I AM THE SAME!!!!
Samee it makes it hard to find matching foundation that won't mismatch with the rest of my body
As someone who's white and Native American (so, yanno, Asian with 40,000 years of separation) who is the only person in my nuclear family with (excruciatingly pale) olive skin having lived in Korea for the past 8 years has been, like. A revelation. It's been the first time in my entire life that I've been able to find foundation, and no one has asked me on the regular if I'm ill just because it's winter and my skin has decided to cosplay as a high fashion zombie. I strongly suspect that I'm your dark autumn doppleganger who opportunistically steals from dark winter because I'm a goth. This was a really great video, thank you!
"Ashy olive" I have the same skin as you, but a little redder on the cheeks. I avoid very vivid colors, and the edges of the spectrum especially warm tones(peach/salmon can somewhat work but orange and brown are bad and only adds to the yellow pigment in my skin). Brightness has no effect on me however. I can go lighter or darker, as long as they're neutral-cool-calm. Though I always go for cooler, pale pastels or white. For my seasonal palette, I'm summer cool pale!
I have a neutral-to-warm light-medium olive complexion (yes, it's a mess) and muted, 'neutral' colours like khaki or light creams make me look really terrible! I'm very girly but pastel colours also look horrid on me, while oddly enough, cool-toned bold, 'jewel' colours bring the best out of me.
I have the same issues! I don't like bold colors, but they do look better on my skin than pastel :(
You may be clear spring or winter I guess
that canva trick is amazingg! I've always wanted an app to check which color suits me best
Thank you so much for addressing how the redness on olive skinned people can be apparent. It confuses people and I have been called sickly for the greens and reds.
I’m not Asian...I am hispanic but I am olive skin tone. The struggle is real!!!
It is!!
¡Mujeres verdes unidas! 🐸
I wish saw this video back when I was a teen and had no idea what my undertone was and always just got colormatched to "yellow". Good job!! Wonderful info!!
I know, right?! I need a better color match for my tinted bb cream because I just thought I was warm and yellow-toned my whole life!
So cute! I believe I am olive toned, I know my brother and sister are cool and warm toned and I always look tired/yellowed out when we take pictures together. I also struggle a ton with choosing colors that look good on me. My closet mainly consists of white/off white/and brown.
Do you have a sense if you lean warm or cool at all? Realizing that I lean cool blew my mind!🙀
I am thinking warm since cooler toned clothing looks a little odd on me, I seem to be complimented more with warmer tones other than yellow!
This is the first video I've watched on olive skin tones that has really helped me gain an understanding!
I'm so glad :)
I'm also a pale olive (I think 🤣) , I have both green and blue veins , look sick without a tan , I've found I look best in bright winter colours
I look terrible in camel , some beige and pastels , I also look good in navy , really enjoyed this video and subscribed , thanks 😘
:)
Even my mom asks me if I'm sick when I'm not wearing makeup! And she's known me Forever 😭 btw I'm italian, so I Guess my mediterranean origins are to blame for my olive skin tone!
:)
This video is a revelation. Despite being super pale, I always knew I was not cool or neutral-toned. It’s intuitive. Like you mentioned, I knew instinctively what colors looked good on me and what didn’t. So I thought I was warm toned… but that didn’t seem right either. Didn’t know there was anything else. It clicked that I’m also an olive girl when you did the photo comparison with your friends (looking sickly sometimes next to others lol) and oohed over the jewel tones in your color exercise thingy. The navy blues, the eggplants, and the ox blood reds… 😚 just 😘muah!
I’m a medium/ tan black person and after three years of being confused and frustrated with the warm/ cool dichotomy, and wondering why nothing was working for me, a couple of days ago I realized I’m olive! Everything fell into place! Now that I see it, I can’t unsee it; I’m so green next to others lol! There’s not enough about this in things like the seasonal color analysis, color theory, undertones discussions, etc. and there really isn’t enough for us non-Caucasian women.
I'm so glad we found each other :)
As a meditteranean woman, thanks for the video! Hope you make a lot videos about it. Makeup and clothing for Olive skin etc.
Sure, I'm happy to!
I live in the dark or jewel tone shades: maroon/wine, deep more green teal, navy blue, army green, darker purples/plum, heather grey/darker greys, brighter browns, muted grey blue and I can do some primary/brighter colors. If you put pastels on me, even as a child...it washed me out. My complexion changes with each season too. Depending on the tan, sometimes get away with more. Most pinks are just atrocious.
So glad you are aware of what suits you! I'm sure you are beautiful in it all.
Exactly me too
This is very helpful for white olive skinned people too! I actually have found it more helpful than olive advice I've found elsewhere. Also, you are so sweet. 🥰
I love this! I would be technically warm olive (warm and delicate) but the suggestions do little for me. Intention plays a part in choosing colors. I’m so tired of these systems boxing me into just muted warm colors or 1 season. Ive also found that I look great with a bright cool red and certain pastels. I just “pop” more with those colors so I dont wear it much at the office. 😊
I love that you use your intuition!
AT LAST! A video on Olive! I almost lost my mind in the darn season cool-warm scale. Thank you for allowing me to exist outside of that ❤
I'm European (not Asian) but I also have olive skin. I always struggled with fitting my skintone into the warm or cool category. I definitely am more leaning towards warm muted olive since my skin has a lot of yellow in it, but I never felt like my skin was truly warm. I look too sickly to truly be warm. It's also such a struggle to find the correct foundation shade: Most drugstore foundations in Germany are pretty cool toned and too dark for me. The few other options are too yellow and also too dark. I always look for something extremely pale, olive, with yellow in it and I haven't found it yet. Maybe I'll need to try some higher end products
Good luck!
If you can get a green color corrector, I've heard that adding a bit to your foundation before you apply can work for olive toned skin
I’m trying to choose bridesmaid dresses that will look complement some friends who are olive-toned and Asian - this was SO helpful!! Thank you! Olive is tricky to nail down but so beautiful ❤️
It's so thoughtful of you to keep everyone's complementary colors in mind. Congrats and I hope the big day is fabulous!
My Asian American friends and I have discussed this so much! Thanks for making this video. Sometimes I think that I look good in tones i.e. colors with grey mixed in (instead of hues (color + white) or shades (color + black). When I look at the colors available in Asian clothing, I think oh yeah, that'll work for me much better.
Yes! I think you perfectly put out what I’ve thought whenever I chose to wear muted colors (I’m also olive toned) Sometimes I don’t want to wear my “best” colors, simply because I don’t want to pop. People don't need to stand out all the time. In fact, I’ve always loved wearing simple clothings that would let me blend into the background. Great explanations btw!! :))
Fellow olive undertones light skinned AsAm and I see your flex - bringing in your celeb friend Maggie Q 😂
I definitely hear you about it being an intuitive process; we’re in the same age range and while you collected gel pens, I don’t know if you were in the chokehold of “Little Twin Stars” era of Sanrio/Precious Moments because I remember a lot of pastels and even back then, understanding those colors didn’t work on me. I love your approach to it, that even if our best colors are probably more saturated, we might not always want to be in something so loud. I’ve always gravitated towards bright saturated jewel tones but being a neutral that tends towards cool, I’m right in that section where deep autumn meets deep winter and even though there are more color options, there’s also more chances to make slight mistakes
Thanks so much for your work and being so gentle and affirming with your audience ❤
Your comment makes my day. I 1000% loved Little Twin Stars hahaha
You are soo nice I watched the video with a smile on! As an olive I loved this video so much. I have seen other videos of olive people but I feel like they only talk about what's there on the internet about olives without actually experimenting themselves. Olives are neutral and I'm tired of seeing it put as only warm when it's not! I feel like olives don't sit exactly with the seasonal palettes but I find dark winter to be the most suitable as it has both neutral cool and neutral warm tones from its sister palettes! Thank you for this lovely video I agree with everything you say!
You are so kind, thank you!
Oh my gosh, I adore you and your sense of humor AND realness. ❤️ Thank you for this video!
thankyou! im an asian olive toned, exactly like you but more yellow and also more green. this vid is so helpful! and yes my life is for navy lol
I'm glad this was helpful!
I am a southasian and have exactly same light olive skintone like you.feel good to see the tutorial. I guess i look best in dark navy blue,dark green and dark maroon.
I'm glad this was helpful :)
Same
You are so sweet! I love your voice! Also agree that color theory and personal color analysis is just to use as a guideline... wear what you like and what makes you feel good, wear your favorite colors anyway.
Absolutely.
I have skin closer to asians and I’m Eastern European,its been really hard to shop for colours since I have ash blonde hair and grey blue eyes,Japanese clothes usually cater to our skin tones although the sizes are a little small
I never thought of that -- shopping Asian brands for their colors. That's such a good point!
@@lizachu the styles (in Korea and japan) are also more unique and better quality than what you will find in fast fashion in the west,online shopping is the best way to go :)
Another thing I discovered about my olive skin is how blushes just tend to "disappear" on my cheeks, as time goes on they just blend in with my skin tone even after reapplying. I don't really blush naturally, even after intense workout. That maybe another sign of olive skin tone? Now I discover that the flashy tones look more vibrant on my cheekbones instead of "apples of the cheeks". This is really a self discovery journey, at the end of the day we see how ourselves don't really fit into the boxes.
olive girl here. also medium toned. rose-dusky rose blushes with deepness to the colour tend to work as a good blush for me. corals work too- as long as they aren't extremely vibrant
Make up is a whole other beast! Thanks for the tips.
Ghastly, sick, dead. 3 words that explain fair olive skin briefly 😂. I call myself living dead 😂
What’s your foundation+shades? ^-^
I use Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12 Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 in Light if that helps! My skincare video is here: ruclips.net/video/94hSrHtCF68/видео.html&ab_channel=LizaChu
Thank youuuu sooo much for making this video and helping me feel less confused about my skin tone with all the over saturated information we get through all forms of media !! You couldn’t have explained olive skin tones any better lol (I am Asian American , specifically Thai /Italian for reference ) and every time I landed on what I thought was an ‘answer ‘ to my skin color and tone , that just brought up a world of more questioning .
Hello from Serbia, for some reason I look like I'm Asian, very much like you :) I'm still confused with the colors for my olive skin, half of the rules work and half of them don''t hahah. One thing I know though, the BEST color for me is coral red, like in between orange and red, and also salmon. Olive green glow shines in those colors, I like it
Hi. If your skintone is similar to hers, and you look good in coral & olive green, you may be a soft autumn (SA) . You may also be able to wear some colors in the soft summer (SSu) palette. SA & SSu are sister seasons & may borrow colors from one another. I think I've seen a vid which said that many olive skinned people are muted/ habr soft coloring. Just Google the soft autumn & soft summer palettes. Hope that helps.
@@kitty_s23456 yes, I’m googling it right now, thanx!!!
No one has explained this clearly..I've subscribed with this video. Thank you ❤️
That is so kind of you! I'm glad my take on it resonates with you.
You're the cutest! Thanks for doing all the research for us 😁 this was a great video! Lot's of love from a fellow olive skinned girl!
I am a olives tone and gosh it sucks to be one I look yellowish and dead most of the time and especially when my family has fair cool skin it makes me look like a zombie
pink vs green... so true
#thestruggle
THANK YOU for this video. Louder for the forgotten Asians in the back!!!! 🥰
I’ve had MUF give me pink foundations due to the redness on my face from acne flare ups, where I’ll then have a red face placed on a green body; and MUF sloppily give me ‘warm’ foundations that turn orange in 10 minutes and make my face 3 shades darker than the rest of my body...
I have a nail polish addiction and every time I put on turquoise (or teal in general) lacquer, I gasp at how alive and vibrant I look. Even before figuring out real my skin tone, years ago, when my mum and I would go shopping, she’d compliment on how turquoise dresses and jewelry look on me. Now it all makes sense!!
Sounds like you are stunning in jewel tones!
Neat, maybe I am olive. I never understood the green vs blue veins test, I couldn't tell lol, and I love the look of both white and yellow gold on me. I also always thought the shadows on my face looked kinda gray so I never understood how to pick contour or highlight colors either 😆 maybe we're onto something here!
You're beautiful in whatever feels right
@@lizachu you're such a sweetheart 😘
For 2 years, I thought I was more warm tone but I'm just so olive. I think soft, deep and cool colors look the best in me. I like YourColorSystem style a lot. I can use almost everything in that palette but yellow. Yellow is my worst color. But I still can use some warm red. Blue are my best color.
Thank you so much for this video! You’re so informative! I’m so glad I found an Asian with olive skin tone like me. I could never understand why certain colors looked good on me while others make me look ill. I love your content! ^-^
I'm so glad this was helpful! What are your best colors?
@@lizachu Ivory for sure! I can get away with pastels but I still need to dive in and try out the Canva set up! I’ll let you know what colors looked best on me! ^-^
That Maggie Q casual name drop :O
But in all seriousness, amen to your comment about color analysis ignorance and denial of Asian skin tones. Even within our community, even within regions and ethnicities, there's so much diversity of overtones & undertones. Layer over that traditional attitudes, and you have so many Asians who are confused or can't figure out which colors suit or don't suit us.
I’m brazilian, with native indians blood, and greeks , but i am olive just like you.
That's beautiful!
I am not Asian, but I feel your struggle, I definitely have either purple and green veins on my wrists, and only recently found out I am possibly neutral olive!
My grandpa was latino, and among my cousins, I'm the only one who inherited his warm olive copper'ish skin tone... who get dark af in summer (like surrounded by gringos). Deep reds, rich olive and cream/ivory colors suit me very well apparently. Oddly, pastels and washed colors make me look somewhat more "sick"... so I avoid these.
I think deep winter is too heavy for your contrast level and the darker colors will weigh you down. Also black/white seems to overwhelm you. You could possibly wear summer better (but with added contrast)
This is so spot on!
@@lizachu hi. You may be a soft summer or soft autumn, depending if you lean cool or warm (in the 12 season system). In the 16 season system, there's a "true muted", which is a combo of SA & SSu. If you're neutral, your season may be true muted (needs draping to confirm).
This also applies to me and my mum - our ancestry is 100% European but we have this yellowish/orange in our skin from my great grandmother who I’m pretty sure must have been descended from Genghis Khan (I’m not joking, this woman looked Siberian, I’m serious). 😊
We look superficially warm but actually it just doesn’t work. And we both look seriously sick in salmon pink and orangey reds.
I recently discovered neutral foundations yay 😊
You get a lot of “pale olive” occurring in Eastern Europeans as well as Southern Europeans. Olive should really get more discussion than it does.
yes to the eastern europe. I am of slavic descent and I am a rather pale, warm-leaning olive. I am literally greenish ashy grey in winter and (luckily), a rather pretty golden in summer. In my 32 years of age, I have not managed to find a foundation that would fit me perfectly. I usually mix a green pigment/color correcor to any base make up.@@tinad8561
OMG, Maggie Q is your friend!
Haha, well, she and I crossed paths a few times to pass bills together, that's all!
You're so cute 🌼 i love your style and your kindness 💕 and yes, i'm a pale olive ✊
Thank you!!
Hi, happy to have found your video. Never identified as olive. Just always thought I look yellowish and sallow. But, agree, all the color systems, they were never spot on. Plus, they always insist on separating into cool and warm and I always thought warm skin, cool hair - now what?
Anyway, black, deep blue, burgundy and aubergine have always worked for me. At least some colors I'm clear on :-)
ur humor is a top tier sJSJAKAK! i'm deadass laughing while watching ur vid & doing analysis on my skin, by the way thanks a lot for this, very helpful for me -from ur fellow olive
i may be olive than i hope so because i love this
You're such a sweetheart I really wish your channel grows a lot! 💖
Thank you so much! I'll keep on keeping on!
This is the best video I’ve seen explaining this
I am a black girl. I have olive skin tone and all my foundation either turns grey or orange.
if it is grey on you- it is cool Orange- too warm. Laura Mercier has some great olives
Thanks for the tips
@@marig9236 too cool, too warm, my life time struggle lol.
I love the quality of comments Im reading here. Thank you for sharing your experiences and stories. I am learning additional tips on what would look good on me.
thank you for the canva tip, I've not used it much so I didn't know you could do that. I'm going to try it.
Girl, you’re friend with Maggie Q ?? I love her acting !!! ❤ Anyway, I’m brown skin & olive -yellowish so the struggle is even more REAL 😢
in a lot of sleepover/community gathering, things I often hear my friends say is "you took a shower already? you don't like one." because I don't look fresh without makeup -_- I always thought, oh maybe I need a brightening, to look more fair. But then I find Audrey's video here: ruclips.net/video/uEYWhFYTEcE/видео.html&ab_channel=AudreyCoyne
the first time I noticed the problem with me finding a proper shade is thru that video. As a Chinese-Indonesian where our skin are so diverse from fair to dark we're not familiar with the word "olive", it's always been "kuning langsat" which literally translate to "yellow", and even store clerks often offer me shades closer to pinkish fair skin, just because i'm "lighter". But now because I know I am olive, it's easier for me to find a shade that suits me coz apparently the local makeup are creating for skin like myself!
well, I'm glad I found this video... It gives me a lot of insight of loving the skin we're in, and I love your voice! Olives need more love
I actually think this is my favorite video on RUclips, ever 💕
Warm olive queen over here !
Olives rise!!
Hi. The YT algorithm brought me here. Thanks for the vid, very interesting. Based on your canva "drapes", I think you're a soft summer, since you lean cool. You can also use some soft autumn colors, like that dusty rose/ red, which is more of soft autumn. SA/ SSu is in the 12 season system. In the 16 season system (used by Carol Brailey, she has a channel too), there's a "true muted" sesson, which is between SA & SSu. I think some winter/ dark winter colors are too dark for you, since you're more muted (cool & delicate). Hope that helps.
I'm olive undertoned. It's damn near impossible for me to find colors that truly work for me other than deep browns, purples and navy's oh and some deep muted greens
Olive Tone Asian Girl here. 💗
Welcome
Besides the fact that I may be green, I also has a big hereditary dark circle and pale lips. No wonder my friends asked me if I was sick several times
Thank you for watching :)
What a delicious video to watch!!! Have no words. Everyone should actually watch this even if not olive or Asian. Love love love 👏🏻❤️
Thank you for the love!
Could you provide some makeup recommendations for someone with similar skin tone as you? It would be very useful! Thanks!
I'll make a video soon about olive makeup! I have posted my skincare routine here: ruclips.net/video/94hSrHtCF68/видео.html&ab_channel=LizaChu
I’m green next to anybody. 🐸 Hispanic here! Your skin looks so much better than my pale green face 🤢! 😭
No puking! You're beautiful.
I am Turkish and I light olive skinned. My veins are extremely blue, but my skin is not cooltoned as the caucasian theory suggest, but neutral to slighly warm. I need contrast and deep colors. I avoid white, pastels, beige and olive tones. Valentino red on me does not look good on me. I can get away with almost any blue tint, deep greens, browns, reds. If I wear the wrong color I look like a dead person.
Pinch yourself: is your blush pink ✅
In full daylight: are the shadows on your face green&blue ✅
You are (asian) delicate olive!
Red/blue = deep cool (winter)
Red/green = deep olive ( ‘autumn’)
Pink/blue = delicate cool (‘summer’)
Very helpful -- thanks!
I’m Hispanic but have an 1/8 Filipino and I have olive skin and I literally have to mix a green pigment into my foundation to adjust it. It’s so hard to find foundations that match me completely
Things so much sense now 😭 I always thought I was warm because I’m so yellow, yet every foundation I try looked so wrong. Dammn glad I know now 🍈
"As an asian american woman...or maybe not american, maybe not asian" 😄 I loved how you corrected yourself as you were speaking
I ended up here because I’m Filipino and I’m “struggling” to style my olive cool leaning undertone but when I found your video I was pleasantly surprised how funny and wise you are. I just subscribed because your delivery and personality combo is so refreshing. I checked out your coaching page on Patreon and I also have the same philosophy about creating more and consuming less. Keep doing what you’re doing !
I'm euro/Asian. Grey is my best color. However Red is great. I like to wear brighter medium cool toned colors in winter, otherwise I look dead. In the summer I wear Grey based pastels and really bright colors because I feel like my homemade is Grey. But the tan and pastel work well. Always Grey based.
My alien sister💝 I have felt like I look dead my whole life. Now I barely started understand why. I am Mexican with a mix of races.
10:53 The reason scarlett looks good on you is because you are a cool toned olive and scarlett is a cool-toned color meaning is has more blue in it. It's not warm enough to make you look ashey or pull too warm on you.
Your friend on the left side of the photo at 5:53 is olive yellow undertone.
Ooh good eye!!
The moment I found out I was a light medium olive as an Asian was when I put on a chartreuse green dress and I literally GLOWED 😂
I think you also look great in baby pink!!!
Liza: "You are so beautiful! I mean that top you have on right now just-" *chef kiss*
Me: *looks down at my baggy red hoodie w/ holes in it*
It's true!
@@lizachu aww *blush* thank you
Omg.... this is soooo mee...... I finally found the reason why my color is all over the place and without makeup I look like a sick person.
I would edit a bit because it adds to the confusion over olive skin. We are all just trying to understand our primary and under tone better. There are a lot of Caucasians with olive based skin. There are I believe 4 grades to olive skin and I’m one of them, as I am Italian. The cosmetic industry definitely ignores anyone not complex or pink or traditionally yellow toned. And then you have depth on either end of the spectrum that get left out the most. Better representation is needed and better advocates as well.
Thank you for this, I look yellow next to cool toned people and so pale next to warm. This all makes sense now. Growing up everyone told me I couldn't have olive skin, because I am so pale. I even got laughed at and humiliated in school by a teacher. I am still not sure if I'm warm or cool... Or even if I'm olive toned. I think am more cool, but look better in gold and rose gold (I get a lot of compliments from my gold/amber framed glasses) I feel like silver is disconnected and too harsh. But maybe I'm wrong about that, I'll have to try silver again and see. Maybe my skin is warm but my undertone is cool if that's even possible haha
You are so funny and charming. Thank you for this 🥺
Thank you for watching!
I’m realizing I must be olive. The vein test always makes me feel so stupid. My veins are a complete mix
Love the idea of the canva!!!!
