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.

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

[@Katie__A]

YES!!! All of this is true...navy blue is not good, but royal blue is perfect.

[@atlantis315]

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.

[@mariposagirl79]

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

[@gaby5546]

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. :)

[@ouidarajorn2926]

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!

[@ouidarajorn2926]

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’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.

[@ryanneantonettecimatu2774]

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.

[@chsi1065]

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.

[@TwinsTry]

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"

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!

[@farinachairunnisa457]

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.

[@lizachu]

I have the same issues! I don't like bold colors, but they do look better on my skin than pastel :(

[@ayakohi0]

You may be clear spring or winter I guess

[@ayakohi0]

"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!

[@giselleg3571]

that canva trick is amazingg! I've always wanted an app to check which color suits me best

[@jessshnarcky1089]

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.

[@loen2629]

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

[@lizachu]

Good luck!

[@mewv3]

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

[@cassygould3084]

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.

[@lizachu]

Do you have a sense if you lean warm or cool at all? Realizing that I lean cool blew my mind!🙀

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!

[@janettewong9900]

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 ❤

[@kitty_s23456]

@@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).

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!

[@kayabar1898]

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!! :))

[@kitty_s23456]

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.

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.

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!

[@kitty_s23456]

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.

[@violetviolet888]

5:54 You've got it mixed up. Red in a skintone is in the cool toned (not warm) skintone. WARM UNDERTONE = yellow, peachy, or golden skin undertone COOL UNDERTONE = reddish, pink, or bluish skin undertones NEUTRAL UNDERTONE = an even blend of both warm and cool undertones OLIVE UNDERTONE = blend of yellow, blue with a bit of grey When in photos, you appear to be a light to medium skintone with neutral to cool olive undertone. This is how I would describe your skin.

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

Warm olive queen over here !

Olives rise!!

[@TurkseTulp]

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.

[@recon441]

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!

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 ❤️

[@lizachu]

It's so thoughtful of you to keep everyone's complementary colors in mind. Congrats and I hope the big day is fabulous!

[@neerasinha-frazer2094]

I’m realizing I must be olive. The vein test always makes me feel so stupid. My veins are a complete mix

[@anamikaaudra2868]

Is it possible to have a olive tone in deep brown complexion??

[@lizachu]

I think so!

[@rubalkaur5485]

Yes it is!

[@killjoy1209]

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!!

[@lizachu]

Sounds like you are stunning in jewel tones!

[@theorochannel6247]

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.

[@isabelalinscostafonseca4673]

I’m brazilian, with native indians blood, and greeks , but i am olive just like you.

[@lizachu]

That's beautiful!

[@justlivinglife465]

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 😊

[@tinad8561]

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.

[@atlantis315]

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

[@TheInspirefly]

Ooh, you referenced Merriam Style's Artistic License system!

[@lizachu]

Yeah! It can be helpful.

[@realTLC]

As a warm Asian olive, I feel like I have an easier time with the existing color systems than my fellow cool Asian olives... Or is that in my head?

[@kitty_s23456]

Hi. I think for Asians (esp Southeast Asians), there are more makeup & clothes choices for warm than cool undertones. I think for the fair skinned East Asians (Koreans, Chinese, Japanese), there are more cool than warm toned. However, one really can't know the color season unless draping is done. I'm a warm toned SE Asian (true autumn) and it's easy to find makeup & clothes for me.

[@llglitterll3011]

Im not sure if im Olive or not, whenever i wear green or yellow my skin looks yellow with hint of light green. I have tried all foundations. warm foundations turns my face orange, neutral and cool foundations turns my face ashy or dark. My veins are green blue and dark purple somewhere. Orange, sky blue, mustard yellow, pink, black, dark green clothes looks good on me. Silver jewelleries compliments me.

[@lizachu]

It sounds like you've really experimented to find your best shades. You definitely sound a bit cool-toned. :)

I'm a light cool ish olive, I'm a bright winter and I look p good in those colors ... i think but if im not wearing foundation i look sick in any color lol it's still confusing xjgs but i finally found my foundation match 😭 rare beauty 170w! I recommend that or 180w! I mostly gravitate to lilacs and cool purples.

[@linafelina]

I'm cool and brown...its so hard...i tan purple and look good in silver

[@hxrta-]

I finally get my veins, mine are also blue-green

[@Subtitles_Addict]

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.

[@acciobread3073]

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 🍈

[@lilula9046]

I look great with purplish pink lip product, but the denim blue is my worst color for my clothes. Am I olive?
