I am fair cool olive, with black-brown eyes and jet black hair that shows up dark brown under light 😅 I burn but I slightly ever tan. I tanned but that was like after 5 years of sun exposure. When I tanned, I had a golden hue but then deep brown. It was sooo weird!!!! Now that I figured my mom was a Light Medium Olive, and so was my grandma! Didn't know olives could be super pale!

What if your veins are green/teal ? Its confusing for me to figure out wether my veins are green or teal but they look alike

Love it

Kalimera gorgeous neighbor! (I'm Turkish hehe) 🙋‍♀I've recently been on a mission to figure out this "am I olive or neutral?" adventure, and been checking out videos on this topic. Yours made it clear THE MOST for me! thank you so much for this very well informed video 💕 I struggled with the olive concept for the longest time because I'm a very pale color (but will tan in a few hours walking outside) but pale color shades in foundations look a bit more pink on me and if the undertone is too yellow then that also shows (tho seems to fit a bit better, but still not quite there, and unlike many people grayish BB creams seem to disappear on me 😸) you mentioning the eye color details helped tremendously! Also your nails are to die for! 💜

Combination of both

I had an “ a-ha” moment. Makeup turns orange on me. I bet I have an olive undertone. It’s hard to find makeup for us that doesn’t look orange. I need to see if a blue based red lipstick 💄 will look better on me. Please keep giving us olive based content. New subscriber here. 😘

Wearing shorts for the first time this year. My legs looked green next to everyone standing line 😂😂😂.

I’ll definitely try to figure out my skin tone now 🫣 I was told since forever that I have olive skin but I had no idea that there is a cool and a warm tone for it too Wish me luck 😅

Can I use the pre cleanse, a cleanser, the daily exfoliant, toner, hyaluronic acid serum, Niacinamide, eye cream and moisturizer as a daily routine or would that be too harsh?

Every point you made resonate with me. Side note I feel emerald green clothing suits my skin.

😍

My eyes are grey, but actually grey and not grey-blue. I'm fairly sure I'm clear, though. What does that mean to you?

Yes, yes, yes! To basically all of these (except that I have blue green eyes). I can't believe it took me well into adulthood to finally figure out that I have fair olive skin. I always used to think that I had warm / yellow undertones. But yellow and orange are the literal worst colors for me to wear. Gold jewelry kind of washes me out. Nude lipstick looks awful on me. It all makes sense now 😅

Can you do any other task while wearing this? Is this too heavy? I have a similar one but when I use it I doesn’t stay on place and it’s not balanced to my eyes 😢

Ugly tattoos

This is fabulous ❤!! I just DM’d you on IG can’t wait to get the real down low on Dermalogica . It’s my ride or die and they are discontinuing the Ulta Calming line and I can’t imagine what I’ll do ?!?! 😊

This makes perfect sense as to why I haven't been able to find my undertone, color season, etc. I first realized it when I went to sephora and the lady working there found a perfect shade match for me. It looked great on my face, but by itself, it appeared almost yellowish. "Neutral" foundations look to orange on me, and I can somehow pull off both warm and cool blush looks. Finally, when I dyed my hair black (natural is medium brown), I got so many compliments. I wanna change it up for summer and try my natural hair again, but the black just looks too good and I wanna hang on to it 😭 And yes also, my eyes are green/hazel and I can wear gold/champagne sparkly eyeshadow without it looking like too much. My silver eyeshadow looks are some of my favorite, which always surprised me as I thought I was more warm toned....looks like I need to buy a silver metallic palette.

You just described everything. Wow. Yellow-toned skin with blue veins? Yep. Nude lipstick? Nightmare. Foundation? Never found one that works for me. Shimmer? Disappears. Tan with odd undertones? Yep. Green tones in my eyes? Yep. (also, Seasonal Color Analysis? Good. Freaking. Luck.) I'm Italian, Irish, and English. I was born with golden red-blonde hair that washed me out like crazy (I looked like an actual translucent ghost). People act like I'm nuts when I tell them that my natural hair color looked/looks terrible on me. After all this time, I recently figured out that I might be cool-neutral olive, but I was doubting myself. Thank you for this.

I'm really pale olive and my college painting teacher called out my skin asking everyone what my undertones are. She said I have cool green undertones and olive skin. The exercise was for mixing paint for portraits

Don't do this because nose hair protect ur nose from outside dust , bacteria,germs . If u do this it might lead nose diseases

Next stop, yank out your eyelashes…you don’t need them.

Thanks! My skin appears yellow, but I look best in blue!

I thought for a second I was watching a clown 🤡

Please dont do this to yourselves!!!! In tge name of beauty people are doing so much crazy things but nose hair protect you from inhaling toxins or particles taht are bad for you once you remove cant count thr number of infections and diseases you could possibly get!!!

Perhaps the most elaborate, succinct explanation for us "aliens" (no offence lolll)... THANK you for acknowledging olive in it's truest, most intricate essence! Took me 12 years to figure this out and find a foundation that I was finally reasonably happy with - only because she just found out she's an olive :D So THANK you!! Oh, and subscribed before I started typing :*))

I just put some on my clean, but damp hair, and i refuse to put this on dry hair. I cannot stand for my hair to be dry without any product in it. It is a sensory problem thing. So here's hoping it still goes well

About face f2 olive foundation

Which Milani shade do you recommend?

What blush and lip shade do you have on?

I just realized I am light but olive.. neutral foundation shades mixed with pale shades are my closest match..I am gonna scroll for olive foundations! Come on Loreal Freshwear please have one!

Where are you located in NJ? Thank you

Great info! I’ve always been told I have olive skin and align with most of your clues. However, my natural hair color is ashy blonde, light blue eyes, and I tan weirdly fast in a grayish brown but never sunburn🤷‍♀️#stillnotsure

What lipstick are you wearing? It's gorgeous. I want it.

I tan red/ purple but also patchy brown on my arms only - peels off after a week. Red looks horrible on me. I look best in green and blues but especially light greens/ grey . I have ezcema so its a bit difficult to ascertain tone as naturally ezcema will go red. I think I'm on the edge of being an olive . had my skin tone tested several times but they have never told me I was olive even though I asked. my veins are a mixture of dark blue and green

Newbie here! I can’t tell u how long I’ve waited for a video exactly like this one!! Before I even clicked to watch, the thumbnail pic on your content page your eye color, hair color and skin tone from what I could tell in the pic looks just like mine!! To say I was excited to watch would be a gross understatement!! Thank u!!!🙏

You mentioned in the video that you were going to link a photo of someone named Jackie to see how the sunscreen sits on a different shade of skin, but you forgot to add it. One of my concerns with all of the sunscreens in the US is that it is well known that they do not protect adequately against UVA rays, the ones known to age the skin. I love Dermalogica products, and before going on Trentinoin, used their moisturizer with Chemical SPF 50 but I’ve been warned against using that now. Many people are ordering Japanese, Korean and European skin care to get that extra UVA protection. Also, my understanding from extensive research is that the consistency of Japanese in Korean son care is much more luxurious in how it goes on, as well as being more advanced in the amount of protection because the US is so behind in approving the necessary ingredients for SPF (at least against UVA rays which of the ones I am primarily concerned about.).

That charity is controversial. In 2024, we now know that Patrice Cullors resigned in disgrace because she used donations illegally to buy a mansion for her minions to live in. Moreover, she organized her group's trip to meet with Palestine leaders during the pandemic to plan for the riots and anti-semitic violence on college campuses we see today. If you want to give to that cause anyway, fine. But shilling for them on RU-vid makes you look bad.

Someone recommended your videos from a subreddit. Can someone have type 4 skin but look like a type 3?

Years ago a consultant at Ulta told me I had olive based skin. I thought she was nuts. I had never heard that before. I am very light and pale and thought olive skin as very Mediterranean. I knew certain colors looked best on me but I thought it was because I was cool toned. I just recently learned about olive and have found a great foundation and other things that have changed my whole appearance. It has taken away the shallowness and washed out look. I am so happy for this new information!

Do you still consider it the best full-coverage foundation !?!

Please do more reviews on other glass too. Esp “glaze”

Thanks most wanted review!

I never use any kind of concealer foundation primer. Whatever products on my face it's always natural 100%. But when I use nanoblur the white tube with the orange the original one cuz there is two... My skin looks absolutely amazing like porcelain! And I have big pores. And the forehead area is what looks the greatest in my opinion.

I'm 23 would you say it's too early for me to use the age and clearing serum for active breakouts and hyperpigmentation?

Mnt?

Everything dermaogica is great 😊 was trained in it its the best 😊

Thanks! This is helpful af!

i got recently and I look like I am wearing brown nude lipstick :( and I am pale!

So glad I found your video.

thank you for being you.
