Today's video is all about olive skin and what I've learned and figured out having olive skin myself. I share what olive skin is, some common olive skin myths (for example, it can't be warm and all olive skin is cool), how to know if you have it, some celebrities with olive skin and my top makeup and clothing tips for olive skin. Also, in order to determine your own coloring and your true undertone and overtone, you must analyze your skin in natural daylight (indoor light always pulls warm) and you must cover your hair and torso in pure white. The color of our hair, especially if it's been dyed can drastically alter what colors look good on us. Thank you so much for watching xx Audrey

I also want to make a special note of actor Henry Golding. At first glance many people cast him as warm but he's actually olive and in Crazy Rich Asians they dress him exclusively in cool colors which make him look luxe and sophisticated, which suits his character perfectly. In the movie The Gentlemen though his character is less refined so they dress him exclusively in warm colors which we subconsciously read as off lending to the viewer's mistrust of his character. So cool and really helpful to understand when trying to find your own color palette and the message you want to convey :)

Dark:
Thandie Newton
Zoe Saldana
Rihanna

MY PERFECT FOUNDATION MATCHES FOR MY LIGHTMEDIUM OLIVE UNDERTONE

NOTE: Due to a lack of widespread knowledge surrounding olive skin, most olive foundations are labeled as warm, golden or even sand but they aren't actually warm and true warm foundations formulated for people with warm undertones are made with peach or orange whereas olive foundations are an even balance of yellow, green and blue and usually appear very green and sometimes even grey. You can see the difference in my side by side swatches in the video.

Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation in 213 (exact color match to my skin and one of the only true olive foundations I've ever found) https://bit.ly/2JW0sg4

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in 6 when I'm darker and mixed with 4 when I'm paler https://bit.ly/2xmXzSX

Years ago I used to wear Bobbi Brown foundation in Sand or Warm Sand I can't remember the exact one (it oxidized a little too yellow in the summer but was otherwise a very good match) https://bit.ly/39XSQUU

I haven't personally tried it, but I've also heard amazing things about Orcé Cosmetics https://bit.ly/3a0Az9o

I've also heard that Charlotte Tilburry offers some good olive undertones https://bit.ly/2xjaOE9

And also the new Dior foundation (Face and Body) https://bit.ly/3ediTLl

And the Fenty Pro Filt'r Foundation https://bit.ly/39Yuz15 when I swatched these they were too yellow for my skin

In the past, I've mixed green color drops or a green primer with my foundation to neutralize redness and get a closer color match :)
