Olive Beauty

Hello and welcome olive people of the world!!

I have created a list below of colours in my range that I think really compliment olive skin tones. In each case, I've listed recommendations for light - medium, medium and deep skin tones and have categorized each section into desaturated olive (blue/green grey) and saturated olive (yellow/green).

Don’t worry if you feel you don’t fit exactly into either of the categories as olive skin is a complex spectrum, and you may see all of these elements depending on the day and the light! The majority of the shades will work with both.

Here are two videos I have made about olive skin tones...

Olive Undertones… what are they and do YOU have them?!

When You Finally Understand Why Nothing Looks Right on Your Skin - Olive Skintones Part 2

One thing I will say is although these shades are recommended to flatter olive skin tones best, colour is a highly personal, emotional and expressively creative part of each individual so if you want to wear a colour just because you love it… then go right ahead!

Love,
Lisa Xx

This iconic lip colour has a balanced mix of muted ‘dirty rose’ undertones, resulting in a desaturated rosewood. This shade has an equal mix of cool and warm pigments  resulting in a nuanced blend that work well on all olive skin tones. The natural colour of lips will determine which way this shade leans (so very blue lips will enhance the coolness and warmer red lips may see this shade as warmer).
