Hello Persephoneers! As requested last week by the lovely wannabemusicologist, here’s my top tips for picking makeup shades when you have an olive skintone.
When it comes to makeup, I’ve seen lots of olive skinned woman wearing the wrong shades. Whether it’s foundation that is too light or too pink, Barbie doll blush, or zombie-pale lipstick, we’ve all committed a beauty faux-pas.
Click play to see my top makeup tips for olive or tanned skins.
There you go, that was my little how-to for my olive skinned readers.
As always, feel free to request a video or blog post if there’s anything you want to see.
Until next time!

Makeup tutorials are awesome. Thanks!
Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying them :)
I love this series so much!
Thanks Slay!
This was amazingly helpful! Thank you! Your description of the foundation (in terms of it not looking grey etc) really cleared things up for me. :-)
You are so welcome! The grey/yellow tip for foundation I got from the Bobbi Brown website. She has great stuff for olive skintones and lots of variety in shades, if you’re looking to indulge.
Already you’re catering to readers, hurrah!
Even though I’m a small make-up user, I can always enjoy make up tutorials.
Hell yeah I’m catering to readers! When somebody asks me for a tutorial, it means one person ACTUALLY and actively wants to hear/read more from me. It’s the ultimate compliment :)
