Olive Skin Type

[@mmoitie]

To those of you saying she looks too pink, she actually adds a filter to her videos so they seem brighter and pinker. I'm not sure in which video it was, but she turned it off once just so show how much she edits the light in her photo.

[@mmoitie]

+mmoitie this is super late but I just realised it's in her first Q&A vid c:

[@taesspochkah]

For people who don't know, UNDERTONES are different from SKINTONES. Your skintone or surface tone can change with seasons or sun exposure. (e.g.- redness or tan due to sun). But your UNDERTONE never changes. There are 4 types of UNDERTONES - Cool, Warm, Neutral, Olive. Any of these 4 undertones can be seen in ANY skintone ranging from pale to dark. UNDERTONES ARE NOT LIMITED TO PARTICULAR SHADES OF SKIN. COOL undertone - 💙a.k.a Pink undertone💕 💙blue/purple veins on the inside of your wrist, 💙easily get sunburnt, 💙don't get tanned WARM undertone - 🧡a.k.a Yellow undertone💛 🧡green veins on the inside of your wrist, 🧡easily tanned, 🧡no sunburn NEUTRAL undertone - 🖤both green & blue/purple veins on the inside of your wrist OR can't pinpoint the exact colors of those veins, 🖤tan/sunburn varies from person to person, 🖤can be further classified as: 1) PURE NEUTRAL undertone, 2) NEUTRAL undertone leaning towards YELLOW, 3) NEUTRAL undertone leaning towards PINK OLIVE undertone - 💚most confusing undertone of all 4 💚identified as a greenish tinge to your complexion 💚can vary from a very slight tinge to a very noticeable tinge 💚OLIVE undertone almost always comes paired with a NEUTRAL undertone, but some people can also have (OLIVE+WARM) or (OLIVE+COOL) undertones 💚aside from that, OLIVE undertone can also come as mixture of 3 as- (olive+neutral+warm) or (olive+neutral+cool) 💚most foundations don't work well for OLIVE undertone even when the shade matches to SKINTONE (e.g- warm foundation shades can look too yellow/orange, cool shades can look too pink, while pure neutral shades can drain out the complexion or look too gray) 💚so the nearest matches for OLIVE tend to be NEUTRAL shades leaning toward warm or cool

[@AshHeaven]

I feel like I am olive with slight warm or neutral leaning towards yellowish.

[@extradrippypicklejuice]

Tae’s spoch-kah tysm for this seriously

[@jermainejefferson5338]

don't no human being has greenish undertone...anybody repeating that garbage is delusional.

[@fheuexve]

dark or brown skinned people can have cool/neutral undertones too like lupita nyongo, nyma tang, nyakim gatwech and khoudia diop too. i think dark skin with cool/neutral undertones tans easily but the change isn't noticeable.

[@liv6451]

My name is also Olivia XD

[@thejemgirlchannel1585]

This video taught me sooo much! Most people think of Olive skin as tanned, but what you explain makes so much sense! My Dad is European background and his skin color would go so much darker in the summer and I would get told I had olive skin as a kid in the summer, cos I used to tan so easily from playing outdoors and I have that yellow undertone. Then as a teen, I wanted to be the opposite and I mostly stay away from the sun, cos I like to be pale & wear sun screen often & I also take Vitamin D lately cos I was very low on that. And my skin tone looks yellow compared to friends with more the pinkish tone and I will still tan so easily without getting sun burn. And yes, yes on scarring easier, a small iron burn etc takes so much longer to heal on me than other people. Oh thank you for explaining all this :)

[@LK-kn7oy]

Girl this is the ONLY KZbin video that has actually given me any insight on having pale olive skin, I would love to see more videos!!

[@LittleAmyHe]

I am SOOO happy you addressed this! There's a huge misconception that only medium to dark skin people have olive undertones even in the makeup artist (not just "gurus") community and it drives me NUTS! I'm grateful that you're able to educate people and tell them otherwise! :) I know so many girls who couldn't figure out their skintones because they didn't know olive skin can be pale. I personally have a neutral undertone and am super pale too (think maybe 2-3 shades lighter than the Missha one in No. 13) and I completely understand how annoying it is that almost all pale foundations are pink (even if they're not they're still too dark for me but still XD).

[@marian.9026]

Thank you for this! Both my parents are Greek. Im white as snow in the winter but with an olive undertone. Summer comes around and I tan very easily. I know when I'm feeling under the weather for as long as I can remember my mom would say "you look green today. How are you feeling?" Lol. Yup, olive undertones!

This helped me so much, I never knew I had olive skin but I do. Dark circles, no matter how hard I tried I could not find a foundation that matched my skin tone. I was neither warm nor cool, even though I had yellow, I could see it, and had green veins. Yay thank you so much now I know where to look.

You and I have the same skin, very pale olive skin, very hard to find make up to match and very prone to scars and stretch marks, and even if you don't get any sun your still somehow darker then all your friends but still hear all the time "get some sun" its kinda hard being pale olive, very happy you made this video

I’m the same. I somehow look darker then everyone else but everyone tells me I’m so pale

Have you’ve heard of the make up brand Milani? They have a very green toned foundation call Creamy Vanilla. For the first time in my life I have a foundation that doesn’t make me look like an umpa lumpa or dead

[@hrivefiryasessrumnir8451]

@@bennu547 omg xD I also tend to look like an oompa loompa when in early spring and I start to use my medium dark foundation. But I look dead, dull with my winter lighter foundation ;_;. It's because of the yellow, greenish undertones of our skin, especially around the mouth, nose, chin area. I have yet to find a purple primer that evens out that part of my skin. I don't like Kiko's purple skin tone corrector, it smells foul. I just tried Milani's amore matte cream lipstick. I'll check your recommended foundation. Thank you

Immediately when she said stop popping your spots I screamed SHIT lmao like I know not to do it but I can’t help it sometimes but not I should really stop bc the scars don’t fade

[@Amberoo]

It's actually quite spooky how accurate this is for me. In a good way! I know about scarring and leaving horrid marks, unfortunately... A question to any other fellow olive-skinned people: Do you also have vitiligo? I never really noticed it until one Summer when I was tanning outside and when I came in I thought I had left suntan lotion on my stomach but it was actually the loss of colour pigment hahaha. This is such a cool and informative video!

[@Amberoo]

ALSO! Makeup-wise, I used No.7. I had a skin tone test and personally for me, their makeup is the best. PERFECT match for my skin tone! And for concealing under my eyes I use " L'oreal lumi magique base primer " Works a treat ~!

[@Elysia07]

Yes me to. I got the hyper pigmentation, I scar easy and forever, I got the combination skin, I can never find foundation that matches, because I'm also a weird medium/tan shade that changes like 4 times a year. It's obnoxious, so I generally just don't wear make up. But I'm getting tired of looking like a oily scarred mess all the time.

[@Amberoo]

nickey g Have you tried going to a No.7 booth at all? (Like I said in the comment I posted after my first one) I went to them and they were perfect for me! They do a skin test and match you with one of their foundations that is closest for you. For my face, I use the "3 step" from Clinique. It was just a random decision to go to the ladies there but they were so helpful, they do like a quiz haha and it ends up with what products are right for you :) I could have just picked up any old cleanser/toner/moisturizer (which is probably loads cheaper haha) but this has helped with my face! ... Also changing my diet so I don't have fat greasy spots haha

[@Elysia07]

Amberoo B Actually, right before I saw this comment, I started looking into the clinique 3 step routine. I have been seeing some results with using just any old cleanser, and neutragena 2-in-1 fight and fade, zapzit, and any old moisturizer. But my zapzit got lost as I was moving, and I'm noticing a difference since not having it. I've gone to an Este Lauder booth when I was a teenager to get my shade matched. (I actually just threw that make up away with the move. It was probably waay past expired) I'm currently using Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in Medium. But it's a little to pink for me. It matches pretty well, but I can tell a difference in that and in the super olive tones in my neck.

[@Amberoo]

nickey g Really? Haha no way! There's the whole Clearasil range, but people have told me that that stuff gives you spots as opposed to getting rid of them! So I've always been cautious of any old ones. I've not heard of Zapzit before. Oooh I've not tried Este Lauder before, is that good to use? Sometimes I find certain popular brands have their foundations and bases either too pinky, or too yellow :/ I use L'Oreal's Lumi Magique Primer as a base for under my eyes, it really does brighten them up/make you less tired looking! Word of advice: if you do buy it don't put it all over your face as a base... your face will like a shiny pearl haha.

[@mdgsk824]

I wish people would understand the difference between light olive skin and actual pale skin and stop calling people like Gwen Stefani and Shakira pale. There are so many people(especially on videos about pale skin) that say they tan very easily and have a yellow or olive undertone however insist they are skin type 1 or 2 no matter how much you try to explain that it's not possible just by definition.

[@Kelsie154]

Seriously though. When I was in my tanning phase, they put me in a level one bed because I was "pale", thinking I would burn in any of the other beds. No amount of trying to explain to them that I am NOT a 1 or even a 2 would convince them. Needless to say, I forced them into letting me in their level 4 bed, at max time. I didn't burn (and barely even tanned), and they were all super shocked. lol

[@mdgsk824]

Kelsie LeCrone You would expect someone that deals with skin and tanning professionally to know better but apparently most people dont even know there's such thing as pale olive. It's not that hard to get.

[@Kelsie154]

***** It's probably because they don't come across it very often. Having the skin color of a 1-2 (occasionally a low 3), but reacting to the sun like a 5. haha

[@daniellevinson6975]

Chrissi Yeah, "olive" is NOT limited to Type-IV; it includes at least a few variants of Type-V, and it *certainly* includes some variants of Type-III!

[@daniellevinson6975]

Well, Kelsie LeCrone, your affinity for tanning does seem to score lower than your resistance to burning... I'd guess you're Type-III. I don't blame you for your frustration with the salon staff, though.

[@Felix.Wingfield]

I'm pale olive toned too (Norwegian on my da's side, Cherokee on my ma's), and BOY am I prone to under-eye circles and stretchmarks, but I can't say the same for scars. Even bad oven burns last a few months at most, but then, my brother and I have a 'wolverine'-like healing ability. So that might factor in.

Anyone with olive skin is just thinking, yes..yes..it's all true. I have a mother of Irish heritage and a father of Maltese heritage so I am a very very fair olive (although I do tan very very quickly to a smooth dark olive). I share the same make up issues with pink based foundations and finding a concealer that covers up those severe dark circles!

Oh my gosh! Me too! When I learn about things I'll spend so much time just searching things about it!

[@PrincessCece]

I used to have tanned olive skin but the the past couple years I've managed to get it pretty pale x3 Only problem is that when I'm out in the sun for maybe 10 minutes I get about 1000 new freckles D:

[@liv6451]

I do have olive skin. I don’t burn easy and tan. When my skin tans more in the summer the green tinge is a little less visible and becomes more subtle. Irony: I don’t like olives and my name is also Olivia XD

[@TheAnimefreak2001]

This is really informative, thank you! (It's frustrating that it's taken so long for me to find out things like this about my skin tone. It doesn't help that a lot of articles about skin care and things like that assume that you automatically have peach-white skin).

[@brennalarosa]

Peachie, you're a godsend. I've been shy about trying sweet lolita for so long because I have an olive-golden complexion, with dusky skin and reddish hair in summer(Hispanic/Black/UK heritage with a distant Danish ancestor, I tan and freckle in dark basements). But, seeing you in sweet and the techniques you use makes me much less shy and hopefully, soon, I'll really have the guts to try sweet! Thank you!

[@CarnalFlower]

I am a redhead with freckles on my face, very dark brown eyes, almost black and I have TRUE olive skin. Foundations with yellow undertones are yellow enough for me. I use Nars Gobi or Ceylan but my sister always told me I have a green cast... My veins are blue, green... You can be a redhead and have olive skin...

[@leander8840]

Omg lol I am the same!! I know this is an old post but I hope you dont mine me commenting on it coz it is so rare to find reheads (& freckles!) with an olive undertone BUT WE EXIST! have you found any other foundations (& possibly blushes or just other products) that work for our skin type & do you feel like you skin tone clashes with your hair?

[@CarnalFlower]

@@leander8840 I think we are true neutral olive . I find Gobi, Ceylan too much yellow now. My real shade is... Mont Blanc. Yes, A bit of pink but Mont Blanc is a real true beige and not pink (like Oslo). Are you from Northern Africa too ? I'm Algerian with very curly redhair :D Blushes like Madly, Zen, Luster, Gina, Sin, Oasis are amazing on us ! You can play with colors too, don't be afraid to put colors on yourself. Lilac, plum eyeshadows are great too. (I am a big fan of Nars). Try revlon colorstay in Buff (150), Sand Beige (180) maybe. Bourjois Healthy Mix collection is great too 'cause they have true neutrals, neutral-yellow, neutral pink shades. (I use shade 50,5 or 51. I am neutral I can play with pink, yellow, or peach cast like an enhancing primer/glow. Looks very well. Do you understand ? My english is not really good. ^^'

@@CarnalFlower Tina Renard yeah I agree! I think true neutral olive is what describes us best! Interesting that Mont blanc is working for you! I tried to always stay away of foundations with pink in them but maybe I shouldnt focus on that too it! No I am actually from Germany, Greece and a bit Turkey. I wish my hair was curly :D mine is straight, wavy at most! I agree on the blushes madly is soo beautiful! I think tarte exposed / milani romantic is supposed to be olive friendly as well! Yeah I think I should be less afraid of colours but I just couldnt figure out what looks good ;D soo thank you for your advice! Yeah I actually use bojouris healthy mix in #51 which is maybe a bit dark but works fine! Oh okay I might try the revlon one out! I heard also great things about the nyx tinted skin veil in vanilla nude and smashbox in 1.05 ! Very olive friendly, I believe. And yeah I think we cant get away with a bit of pink or yellow cast because we are more neutral olive than lets say a very warm olive! We are lucky!

I'm very pale, green veins, and looking at my skin in natural light, it's green. Nothing yellow or red, but extremely green

[@Sang15Mitang]

I use the same exact bb cream that you do. I'm not sure if I have olive skin (I'm pretty sure my mom does, especially based on your description) but what I liked about it was the yellow undertones and the paleness of number 13 which matched my skintone perfectly. I've seen people with fair skin who tried it and it didn't look good on them at all, because their skin has cooler undertones. I have light skin because I don't get enough sun but I tan very very easily. I have perma dark circles under my eyes, can have blotchy skin, bruises that last for years. I'm not sure if I have thicker skin or not, but it's thinner than my mom's for sure.

[@sunshineyrainbows13]

Are you around an NC20 naturally? Your picture looks like my skin! I don't know if I'd call it olive, but I too have very light skin with a neutral leaning yellow undertone that is IMPOSSIBLE to find the perfect foundation for. Its all either too dark, too light, too yellow or too pink; never just right! I also have dark circles, probably worse than yours. I guess our skin is like if you got a Spanish olive and bleached it a bit, ahahaha.

[@Annalovesautumn]

To be really honest I wasn't sure about taking advice from someone whose style is so different from mine, but that was stupid of me. Skin tone and love of cute stuff are obviously not related. This video was SO spot on for me, top to bottom, and I really appreciate it.

Thank you for this video! I am mixed, European and Colombian Native American and I have golden olive skin, not pale but not dark.

I believe I'm olive, because, even though I'm quite pale, I definitely do not look European pale. I don't see much green or yellow on my skin. It's quite colorless, in fact. And I don't tan very easily, I tend to burn. I'm South American and have European ancestry, so maybe that's why? Is it possible to be only slightly olive?

[@candiigurl7893]

Your excerpt on hyper pigmentation- yep, so true. People who have those darker tones are more susceptible to having these issues. My skin has this same thing but is most prominent on my back: if you look it looks like someone literally took two different colored pencils and stippled them both into my back, so these darker spots travel up my back and it's completely obvious. I also see lighter spots on my neck and (brace yourself) my breasts. I know a lot of African Americans who are lighter can suffer more with this than others. I think I get this from my dad; I see some spots on his back when he asked me to scratch it. I also have pink/red tones in my skin, which you can see under certain light, yet when it's super sunny outside, I almost look like I'm white, especially my feet. Native runs though my blood on my father's side, and lets just say that I'm the recessive child so I got all of those traits; everyone else in my family is a brown/chocolate to a dark brown.

[@Kiwiyumful]

Pat McGrath Labs makes a few foundations in olive undertones. One shade has a lighter cooler olive undertones and the other two have darker warmer olive undertones. I think that Pat McGrath Labs has other light foundation shades that don't have 'olive undertone' descriptions but still look more on the olive side though which is why it's better to look at those foundations in person.

[@nonstp24hr]

Woah, this video was surprisingly helpful and informative

[@robingreen9185]

This was interesting! I'm pale but I have olive/yellow undertones (I feel like it makes more sense to just say yellow since white people are generally speaking not olive skinned, right? Or am I wrong?) It definitely comes from my dad's side of the family, because him and his brothers were slightly darker in hair and complexion, while my mom is a strawberry blonde with freckles. I tan easily too, have hazel eyes and was blonde as a kid but my hair faded to a more ashy brown. My veins look blue, though. Weird. Some good warm toned foundations/concealers I've found over the years: L'oreal color match in W 1/2, Revlon colorstay concealer in 02 Light, Ulta concealer in light warm (although that dries a little orange on me sometimes.)

I have really pale olive skin too, when I was younger I had much darker skin, I think the best way to actually get rid of the dark circle is by putting a little bit of almond oil on it, this is the thing that worked best on mine.

[@pottah1043]

Oh my gosh. This explains everything. I was searching and searching for my skin tone everywhere and I just cant identify whether I'm warm, cool or neutral.

This is fascinating because I realized a long time ago that I was a pale olive too, but I've never seen anyone talk about it. I clearly am though, I'm very green in photos. But my veins are blue in some places and green in others so it's still weird. My father is dark olive, even though we're definitely white people lol. I scar SO badly, even get stretch marks easily, and get dark spots, and because of the hyperpigmentation I have to get a neutral foundation to even out all the different colors. Great video! 👍

Even though I'm myself type 1 skin this was still really neat and super informative! I see your making videos more frequently Peachie, be sure not to wear yourself down okay!

[@evareidzz]

thanks peachie i always thought my skin was weird because it looked yellow :( thought i had something wrong with me haha. ill give the bb cream foundation a go! could you tell me where you buy it?

[@PinkieMagenta]

I think I'm a type 3, possibly olive skinned. I am very yellow, but not too dark. My Dad has very pink, Irish skin and burns very easily, and my mother has very dark olive skin, mistaken for being Greek quite often!

[@TheChaosWrath]

I don't even have this skin type and I watched all the way through :3 I would be very interested if you did one of these for pale skin!

[@bennu547]

But she did. She has pale skin but olive undertones

[@TrixiMagic]

sweet video! where is your dress from? I want it *-*

[@ichieru]

so overjoyed to see you so frequently lately peachie! ^ u ^ glad you're feeling up to it!!

[@Jellyyfishyy]

I hate having hyperpigmentation. I have acne scars that are dark in color and it make it hard for me to wear cute clothes or find make upnto cover it up.

[@littlejeka]

You can try a clay mask with vitamin E, anything with vitamin E helps with acne scars

[@Jellyyfishyy]

Jessica Martinez Thanks! I'll have to try that.

[@AuthorMorganaSinclayr]

Sorry offtopic, but love your outfit! Don't know why, but the print of your jumper sort of reminds me of something I see at a Liz Lisa shop!^ ^ Super cute Peachie :)

[@juuzousuzuya7635]

I knew I had olive skin anyways but still watching there are just so many relatable things about this video. I used to get so tanned when I was little but then I stopped so now I just look yellow. I have stretch marks as well that I know I'm gonna have for ages but idc because It's only from growing too fast. And I have dark circles. I feel like my skin is very oily as well. My mum says that her side of the family originated from Scotland but I'm not sure if she's on about my nan or my grandad though I think it's my nan as my grandad got extremely dark. It's interesting to know that my grandads side could've come from a sunnier place though. I'm from England so I understand the no sun thing. Though I barely go outside anyways. I also always tend to look sick though I think it's because of olive skin+paleness.

[@slushhead2047]

I also have olive skin! :D I inherited it from my mum's side of the family because though I also live in the uk, her side is from Hungary where olive skin is very common! ^^

[@bxbblegumn]

I think I have olive skin . I have family from Jamaica I don't know if that has anything to do with it but I am a teenager next yeah and all my friends are getting spots what teenagers have but my skin is as soft as a baby ( This actually what my friends said to me ) ♥♥

[@bxbblegumn]

* year sorry lol

[@craigperry9483]

Pink Cookie from jamacia too!!!

[@debbieventimiglia2216]

Yes, it's also hard for me to find a yellow based foundation in the USA here, I have medium olive skin with very light grey eyes, so the foundation here looks pink, so..... I go barefaced!!!!

[@Starlow]

Thanks for this video, I learned a lot of new things. Both sides of my family are Italian, so olive complexion is very prominent. I can relate with the hyper-pigmentation thing the most, mines so bad that I've been bullied because of it. no makeup that I've found will cover it and because my skin is oily it just makes things worse. I guess the only good thing us that I look like im in my early 20s (as opposed to age 30!) well, glad to know its not just me out there who struggles. Keep doin what ur doin Peachie!

[@ixxresendiz8666]

Bom Park?

[@dijononthetube]

IXX Resendiz YES. The whole time I was thinking it. They look a lot alike

[@milk6808]

Yess!!

[@kawaiishayu]

actually even before that video I knew I had olive skin but I have learned new things from watching you explain, so thank

[@kawaiiphat6868]

This video helped me so much! I'm glad I'm aware of my skin type, and now that I think about it, my mother and grandmother have olive skin is it runs in my family☺️ I also have a small question: What editing software do you use? I have a feeling it's iMovie but there are a lot of special effects I don't see in the iMovie editor...

[@jenniferrose6770]

Great video! Wow. I know you say if you have red or auburn hair you can’t have olive skin. I have olive skin and when I’m pale my undertones which makes me look paler than people who have red undertones. I’m actually am a dark caramel blonde naturally and it’s very warm so some may say it looks reddish. I also have some tiny freckles on my shoulders. I do have red in my face from using Retin A and other topical meds for acne/oily skin so I’ve had makeup artists not give me the correct color of foundation and it doesn’t match my neck due to The redness on my T-Zone. Although I rarely burn, I do get reddish/bronze is if go out in the sun then it fades to more olive/gold. My skin is super thick and oily. Olive skin is common everywhere in Europe and not just exclusive to Southern Europeans like me. I’ve seen lots of Irish, French, Polish, Russian and Swedish people with olive skin. I will say I do notice some Brits and Scottish have olive skin but they have more people with red undertones. In Southern Europe there’s a good amount of people with red, yellow and beige undertones but not as much as Brits and Scottish.

[@claudiamarianidamato9499]

Coco Luxe you have beautiful skin ❤️❤️❤️ similar to mine... makes sense we are both Southern European . My family is southern italian to be specific

[@gggggggggg-uc3ss]

You kinda look like 2ne1's park bom

[@ChantelStays]

I love this...its so had being olive and there is so much cobfuson. Olive skin is different then neutral and usually has a yellow undertone...with that green cast. Any colors (season) you'd suggest for a tan/deep olive skintone?

[@katpeach8140]

I have the exact same skintone as you have now and i find such a hard time finding the right shade foundation. Also did you have any tips for dark knees and elbows? Uneven tones to brighten them.

[@candiigurl7893]

My grandmother is African American, as am I, and she has (dark) red hair with olive skin. Her scenario is just very rare, and she has lighter skin, like I do.

[@kyandifullyme8138]

I have olive tan (in the middle of dark brown and pale) skin and I have a like 85 bruises on me and most of them have been around for 1+ years and like THEY DONT WANT TO LET ME GO! I want a boyfriend like that, not scars. Also tbh I look sleepy all the time so my teach is always telling me to "get in the learning mode" LOL TTATT

[@EmilyBisignano]

Thanks for sharing this! It's hell finding makeup that fits my skin tone. I order everything from Etsy, but I will look into the concealer that you use. I have VERY sensitive skin and everything breaks me out unless it's a mineral makeup lol I'm also very fair like you. I'm part Native American so I turn reddish when I tan, but I do burn because of my fair tone. I do tan nicely :D

[@sashab3404]

Oou, where did you get your dress from? It's so pretty!

[@alexsofiee]

More videos peachie! Okay u are problaby busy at the moment but you need to know that I love ur videos and I can't wait for u to upload more! :3

[@mailamakua602]

This was the information I've seen on my skin type. I'm light olive skin toned. Thanks for posting. Sharing you vid with friends.

[@megaflame97]

this really helped me a lot because my older sister is the only one who has Olive skin but since after watching this, Im starting to think my middle sister has it. but she is very ill so iv no idea what her actual skin colour is (her skin now is grey).

[@MissVi]

Great video! Everything makes so much sense now. You described my skin and my issues with it.

[@aspenparker5855]

It's such a pain tbh. I have olive skin, and while I tan naturally, my diet is terrible, so I'm pale due to malnourishment, and I rarely go outside. I'm very pale olive skin and I can never find makeup to match. Oh well, at least I don't get sunburn.

[@tedoymisojos]

It seems you overplucked them eyebrows in the picture. I hope they grew back. I have olive skin as well, I dont like straight up pink or red clothes because it emphasizes the green tones too much. i dont mind wine reds or neutral cool, grey pinks because they have some blue to match my oliveness.

[@SuPeRsKiTtLeStAlKeR]

>.< I have olive skin and ohmygog! The thing about the face scars is so true! >.> People think they're just freckles I've developed since moving to a more sunny place 6 years ago. >.> I let them believe....

[@Cortology]

I have pale olive skin with yellow and greenish undertones. When I tan I'm super dark. Also my vanes look blue but my face is olive maybe it's cuz I'm mixed. Also like u said I do have weird patches on my skin like my upper lip is darker in corners and under my eyes and near my nose I'm Portuguese/ Arabian and british ir eyes are beautiful btw

[@Sasha-xt3jh]

I mix a green color correction primer with my foundation to match my skin

[@202cardline]

Wow, it's cool we had such different shades of skin but both have the same tone and type. This was perfect, I learned a lot, and the ending was hilarious xD

[@Lacieluxe]

Really informative x I am luke you. Maybe a few shades darker but I think it comes from Spanish heritage. My dad claims the scotts n irish apparently took in some spanners a looooool time ago. I'm talking in the days Scottish still had their own gaelic language. Apparently that's where a lot of scotts and so on get the darker skin tones from. My dad is very dark but I have a deathly pale irish mother! It's true we scar easily and have combination oily skin. Those that cannot find the right shade of foundation if slightly pale can use a yellowish tone foundation which when blended will look spot on. Never go for pinkish colours in foundation if you are olive toned. As u can see from my pic I tan easily. I was very pale on my first day. The pic of me is only my second day away and I was wearing factor 50!!!

[@Demi.d3mi]

I have medium to pale olive skin, i literally look green gray lol. Idk my skin undertone is confusing because i do tan and not burn on my arms and legs but on my chest and face i usually just burn and i have tons of freckles!

[@katpeach8140]

Also could you recommend any foundation for sephora products? That match the most to you. I cant find anyone else but you that have the exact same skintone the struggles

[@ilikesonicXD]

good video but i assume you were just misinformed when you said people with ginger/auburn hair cannot be olive/yellow toned skin. I am a ginger with yellow toned skin and it is like you said, inherited. i get my red hair from my grandpa but my dad has jet black hair and yellow toned skin, similarly my mum has yellow toned skin with light brown hair so it would be almost impossible for me to have pink toned skin

[@lalapinkgreen]

You look so much like singer Park Bom!

[@DrNanite]

You can also be olive ginger actually. I've seen at least two or three people like this.

[@terryannmaes5538]

I have 15 percent Mediterranean ancestry and a good portion French Canadian and Northern Europe. It took me 62 years to figure out, I have pale olive skin. Hardly any wrinkles though.
