THE LIGHT OLIVE SKIN TONE (WARM) 

I loved those analogies!

I loved every moment of it loool

Hey I really needed that lecture on friendship 😂

Ew that was ugly of you

Being green 😂😂😂👽👽

sounds like cool and delicate! muted blues (like denim blue and muted navy), cool muted violets, cool burgundy, ash pink? and grays of course. :)

@@merriamstyle I definitely agree with cool and delicate! She does have a very clear green tint to her skin tho, so idk if that matters...? E.g. muted pink blush kinda sits on top of her skin instead of blending in it, 'cause the skin is pretty much muted grey+green. She avoids all pinks 'cause of it. Maybe it'd be different if the colors were on the clothes vs. in make up..?

Yes I'd love to see that too, my sister has light olive skin and I think she is cool but with olive skin tones it's not as easy to see

@@EGHGHI omg ur mother sounds like me. I was always so confused with my skin Im rlly pale but still have all these greens tints. I just wear black most of the time lol

yes please, i always think i’m a cool olive and it would be amazing to look at other people who have that!

Yay I'm so happy it was helpful for you, thank you for watching.

@@merriamstyle I'm considering um sending you pictures, for advice. I'm probably a romantic, but I always felt romantic clothes made me look bulky, maybe it was because I'm short and busty. Idk. Plus I was confused since I have big feet, but small hands and a large face.

LOL I am wearing my cool lavender sweater right now that I bought JUST because I love the color but it is SO TRUE it makes us look literally GREEN and like we have the Flu!!

I have light olive skin, and never realized how strong the green undertone was until I recently had a passport photo made. Something about the lighting brought it out, and I looked POSITIVELY green. It was the first time I saw it so clearly.

Same, I loved the lavender tie dye trend buy my skin hated me for even trying haha but my even worse enemy: mint green. Holy smokes does that look unhealthy on me. Love the colour though 🤷‍♂️

Brittany Alice yes!!!

I agree. I use that for winter but I've yet to find the same color, just a little darker for summer. I just end up making myself too warm with bronzer...

@@CamiDiscerns I'm the opposite! Haha :D RC Buff is ok for me in summer, but in winter I need something lighter. Still haven't found my PERFECT winter shade as all of them tend to be too cool or too neutral/peachy, when my neck looks greyish-yellowish-green. Catrice HD in 010 is a decent replacement if you need something with lighter consistency than Revlon, but it's slightly too neutral. L'Oreal Infallible 015 is the same but in a lighter shade than Catrice. I want makeup brands to acknowledge that light doesn't mean pink. We, deadly looking creatures, exist :)

@@gabajamrozinska3347 yes@!

Brittany Alice oh my gosh YES

I am super muted too! Never thought I would ever be able to write that and expect to be understood..

Same!

yesss me too!!

all my life I just thought i was light and green lmao

Also, So. Much. Shine!!

I agree! You are stunning Merriam!

Agreed, a fair cool olive video would be great!!

Yesss!

Yesss

Yes please!!

Oh yes please! Do a video and that.

Garnier Nutrisse 415 is my go-to for years as a cool light olive. Just enough intensity, depth, and warmth. It’s called mahogany something.

yay!!

​@@merriamstyleMerriam I have different colorations on my body, but I am warm/neutral, but more saturated, and hair is dark. So I am dark, warm, and saturated.

Can I second this?

Same here :)

It's common for olive undertoned people to tan easily even if you're super fair to start with!

@@reenajoubert So true!!👍

Thanks for sharing, I can't wear blue too, I look dead lol

I am warm delicate olive with blond hair and blue eyes, and I like all of your colours and PETROL. Petrol is my fabourite blue

Absolutely agree :D does your colour scheme also change drastically when you get tanned in summer? I have 2 completely different wardrobes and I don't know anyone else like that

And do you also look somewhat dark in fotos but somehow pale in real life? Honestly I sometimes think I'm an optical illusion hahaha

@@lemmings6516 i look kinda neutral in photos , devoid of my yellow tinge and sometimes i look slightly pink too while in real life, i look pale yellow 😑... I have a cool olive skin but can't decide whether radiant or muted....

True Makeup assistants are sales staff.

I understand the struggle. They always push pink foundation or peach. I'm hoping to get muted makeup that might actually match my neck as my current foundation powder in my profile picture is definitely the wrong tone. 😅

Elizabeth Ward I agree

I would go with your skin undertone- a nice beige blonde could work 😊

I double that.

That's a puzzle! I'm also WD pale olive, though not with rosacea. When I work out a lot (so I'm redder) I look good with a sheer cool muted red lip, like mauve-y berry or spiced wine-red (both sheered out). They look good all the time but seem particularly suited then. That, and neutral cool-brown eyeshadow with champagne shimmer. When I'm at rest (no extra red), peach lipsticks still look awful, FWIW. Bright red-orange is... doable, but it's a "lewk." Not easy to wear. Both shades are simply too bright and orange-y for me. My olive WD alternative to peach-nude is a sheer neutral light brown with golden champagne shimmer (just the sheer light brown works too). I have a few lipsticks that look peachy or pinky, but they just look neutral brown in the tube. Instead of red-orange or tomato red, rust-red is much much better. Rust red with a warm shimmer is so wearable.

definetely! a friend of mine has very mild rosacea only on her face, and even thought she is probably a warm&delicate, she looks cool toned.

If you haven't before I'd highly recommend trying to match to your neck, I have redness as an olive and this helped me a lot :) And omg blonde and gold me look gray too, sadly blonde is my natural color lmaoo

Warm and muted, pale olive skintype with rosacea here! I look best in brown, beige and olive. For lipstick soft brown or dusky pink work best. If I am wearing these colours, my face looks like it has less redness.

Omg I do the same! I'm warm but i feel like I need to put a lot of blush so I can wear warmer colors

Yesss! My natural blush never shows up. I drape blush over my nose and a little on my chin

aw thank you Crystal I'm happy the video was helpful for you!

aw thank you!!

aw thank you, we are doing well. hoping you and your family are also doing well.

aw thank you!

Yes! I'm pale with green eyes and warm olive. There's never anything quite for my tone. 😭 I don't think I'm muted, but cool jewel tones and pastels like icy lavender or blue are the absolute worst for me.

"expired last week" 😂😂😂 never have i seen someone describe it so well, I feel this!
