The Best Makeup Tips For Olive Skin, According to a Pro

Understanding skin tone and undertones — like whether you have olive skin with warm, cool, or neutral undertones — is key to finding flattering makeup. It doesn't matter if you're just on the hunt for a new foundation or looking for the best eyeshadow palette with colors that'll complement your complexion — the information comes in handy.

Although many people can tell if they have a fair, olive or medium, or dark skin tone, most of the time, makeup comprehension ends there. But learning more about your olive skin tone can make shopping for new makeup products even easier. Ahead, a makeup artist shares everything you should know about your olive skin color, like how to color match an olive complexion, complementary colors to look for with other makeup, and more.

The term olive skin doesn't refer to just one complexion shade. You can have light, pale olive skin or dark olive skin. "Olive skin has the main characteristic of being in the range of green and brown," Jaleesa Jaikaran, celebrity makeup artist and Humphreys Witch Hazel brand partner, tells POPSUGAR. In terms of undertones, olive skin tends to be more neutral or warm rather than cool.

Paying attention to the undertones of your olive skin tone will make color-matching complexion products like foundations and concealers a breeze. Jaikaran recommends you take a look at the color of the veins on your wrist. "Check your wrist or any visible veins — if they are blue to purplish veins, then you can range between neutral and cool tones," she says. "Veins that are green mean you have a warm skin tone. If you have a mix of blue and green, then you are more neutral."

With this information, you can look for brands that cater to your skin tone. "Exa Beauty High Fidelity Foundation ($32) carries a wide range of shades and undertones that have been a favorite of mine and in my pro makeup kit," says Jaikaran.

There are a variety of shades to choose from to flatter your olive-colored skin. "Shades of gold, bronze, and copper tones look amazing on olive skin, regardless if it's eyeshadows or bronzers," says Jaikaran. "For blushes, peach, pink, orange, and shimmering tones flatter olive skin beautifully."

As for the best lipstick hues for olive skin, Jaikaran recommends berry and brown shades as they look "lively on this skin tone."

Saudi Arabia dilutes fossil fuel phase out language with techno fixes in IPCC report

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s latest report focuses on how to halt global heating below 2C and to 1.5C in line with the Paris Agreement. While it deals with solutions, this is the most politically sensitive part of the IPCC’s three-part assessment. Publication was delayed by six hours on Monday following a marathon 40-hour session over the weekend for scientists and government representatives to finalise its summary for policymakers – the longest approval plenary in the IPCC’s 34-year history. The document concludes “a substantial reduction in overall fossil fuel use” is needed to tackle the climate crisis. But compared to earlier drafts, there is a much stronger emphasis on technologies to capture and store carbon dioxide underground (CCS) as a potential solution that extends the lifespan of coal, oil and gas infrastructure. Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s largest oil producers and exporters , successfully argued for the repeated inclusion of references to CC
