There is no doubt that at least once in a lifetime, each of the representatives of the weaker sex faced such a problem as choosing the right color for lipstick and blouse or tone for make-up. After all, some shades make the face lively and luminous, while others give it fatigue and emphasize all its shortcomings. But as it turns out, this problem is easily solved, you just need to know exactly your skin tone and choose decorative cosmetics and outfits that match it. The most difficult task is facing women belonging to the "summer" and "winter" color types. Their olive skin can look very advantageous in some shades, but take on an old and ugly look if you choose the wrong outfits and makeup for it. Therefore, it is better to consider in more detail what suits these ladies.
Light Olive
This tone of the face has girls who belong to the "summer" season. The color of their eyes is mostly blue, gray-green, bluish or dark hazel. The light olive skin of these women has a rather cold look and gives them an image of aristocracy. The undertone of their face is a combination of greenish and yellowish tint, the first of which is characteristic of only two color types.
Such ladies are endowed withnature light blond, chestnut, ash or gray curls.
Dark olive shade
This appearance is a hallmark of the representatives of the "winter" season. These women have a dark complexion, which can sometimes be a grayish tint, due to the combination of yellow and a brighter than in the previous case, green, an olive undertone inherent in the skin.
These girls are naturally endowed with a bright and spectacular appearance. They usually have black or dark brown locks and gray, bright blue or dark brown eyes. But despite the fact that the olive skin of these two color types has different shades, the "summer" and "winter" representatives of the weaker sex should acquire almost the same tones in outfits that can make their appearance more expressive and beautiful.
Which clothes to face?
The combination of gray with a lilac tint, as well as khaki and cold burgundy is ideal for these ladies. Women with swarthy skin tones can enhance their tan with burgundy and anthracite tones, and they will also look great in white, dark gray, blue, smoky, crimson, light brown and mint clothes.
"Summer" girls will organically look in steel, pistachio, light milky and burgundy shades. Also, a light olive skin tone can look harmonious in emerald and navy outfits. Such clothes can still draw attention to their gray and green eyes, as well as more delicateemphasize the beauty of "summer" ladies.
Contraindications in outfits
It is also necessary for women with olive skin to know which shades in their outfits they should avoid in order not to give the image of fatigue and dullness. These girls are not recommended to buy clothes in brick and pink-peach colors, as these colors give their face a brown and earthy look, which makes them outwardly unhe althy.
Also avoid going for blood red tones that can accentuate olive skin tones. Red colors in clothes are also best avoided, but they can be allowed in the image in the form of any accessories.
Hair color
In addition to outfits, the ladies of these two color types need to know what are the best shades to color their curls in order to avoid an unsuccessful choice and thereby not add extra years to their appearance. For example, those women who have olive-colored skin should not be painted in a local blonde, since such a tone can only emphasize any facial imperfections. The most suitable in this case are light brown and hazel shades of blond in combination with light blond roots.
If olive skin has a very dark undertone, then it is better to opt for a shade of "medium blond" or make your curls black or chocolate. In addition, you need to remember that when toning the hair, it is better not to make it red, as such coloring will give the image a painful look, and the skin will make it loose and pigmented.
Representatives of the "summer" and "winter" seasons will be morelook great with neutral brown hair that is close to their natural curl tone.
Perfect make-up base
When choosing a foundation, you should also pay attention to what shade of olive skin. For example, owners of a face with a beige undertone are better off opting for a yellowish base. In the event that the face looks grayish or earthy, then it is better to buy a foundation in pink tones.
Women of these two “seasons” should purchase a fluid texture foundation that can easily mask the small red capillaries sometimes found in girls with this skin color.
Makeup
Owners of dark skin in their make-up is better to use bright and cool tones, focusing on lips and eyes. They can use smoky or steel-colored shadows, dark pencil, eyeliner, black mascara and plum lipstick, as well as blush in muted shades, but by no means golden.
Girls with light olive skin in their make-up should use colorless powder and paint their eyes in light blue, lilac, purple, pinkish or green tones. Such shades can emphasize the depth and expressiveness of the look inherent in these ladies. When choosing mascara, you can choose black, brown or blue. You can complement your makeup with pink lipstick and blush of the same tone.
How to define yourskin color?
But many women cannot choose the right outfit, hairstyle and makeup without a stylist, because they do not know what color type they belong to. This is very easy to do, as natural shades of hair and eyes can help with this.
Usually those people who have a light or yellowish face, have blue or gray eyes, and their curls are golden or honey-colored. Representatives of the “autumn” color type have transparent white skin dotted with freckles, and curls of copper and chestnut shades in combination with sparkling gray or transparent blue “mirrors of the soul”..
Owners of light olive skin, as mentioned above, can have gray, light blond and white hair, as well as gray-green, hazel and cool greenish eyes. This type is most common in our latitudes. Dark-skinned people tend to have dark and auburn locks paired with brown and blue eye tones.
You can also do a small test with scraps of fabric and thus find out your skin tone. To do this, you need to sit in front of the mirror and alternately apply fabric segments of different shades to your face. In the event that yellowish colors make your appearance more spectacular, you are the owner of light or transparent white skin and belong to the "autumn" or "spring" season. If the face becomes more expressive with greenish tones, then, therefore, the person is a representative of the "summer" or "winter" color type and is endowed with an olive tint of the epidermis.
From everythingFrom the above, we can conclude this: in order to create a harmonious image and always have a great look, you need to know your “season” and skin tone.
