Makeup:
Olive skin beauties need less makeup but wearing more of
it can create a high glamour look. Lips
can go light or dramatic with color with a variation of brown tones
but the best are russets
and shades of terra cotta browns. For evenings, plums
or wine
colors create a fabulous statement. Generally you can depend on
light browns, deep browns, soft browns, velvety chocolates, red
browns, plum browns, wine browns. Avoid pinks and oranges. They
will do nothing for you. Use a lip pencil the same shade or a shade
darker than your lipstick
to maximize a luscious mouth. Apply lipstick. Blot with a tissue,
then reapply.
Lipshades
that look great with Olive skin: Eruption,
Rustique, Raison, Rum Raison, Diva, Rapture, Porsche Red, Matador
Red, Rouge, Mulberry, Vamp, Maddness, Silk, Quartz, Sheer Power,
Dune Rose.
Emphasize the eyes.
Shadow color here can be strong, especially in shades of browns,
chocolate, silver, bronze or olive. The eyelashes can be dark, thick
and long with the right application of mascara.
Take your time with this, allow 1- 2 minutes after each application
of mascara to avoid smearing. Reapplying mascara at the end of the
day is ok but do it lightly to avoid clumping. Olive skin tends
to be oily so powder
around the eyes to avoid runny mascara Always take it off at night,
leaving it on dries out lashes and causes breakage. Remember, mascara
is good for only 2-3 months. After that it gets dry, clumps and
is unhygenic.
