With so many women today spending huge sums of money to get the perfect tan, if you are someone who has a natural olive skin, consider yourself blessed! Most of the time, all you need to do to make your skin look good is to keep it cleansed and moisturized. However, if you want to increase your glamor quotient, here are some makeup and beauty tips, which will make you even more desirable to men!
Tips for Olive Skin Makeup
The first thing that you should do before applying any kind of makeup on your skin is to clean it. So, invest in a good quality face wash and cleanse your face of all impurities and oil. Pat dry, and now you are ready to wear the best make up for your skin.
Makeup Primer, Concealer and Foundation
An olive skin, compared to other skin types, is less likely to have flaws like acne, large pores, spots or scars. So, if your skin is naturally clear, you can simply apply makeup primer and dust some powder over it. However, if you have some of these skin flaws, wear a concealer, followed by a foundation. When it comes to choosing a foundation, make sure that you choose the right color. According to what beauty experts say, foundations with yellow or olive undertones look best on this skin type.
Blush and Highlighting Powder
After the Foundation has been applied, apply blush to your cheek bones. Go in for blush colors such as bronze, tans, peach or apricot. After this, apply some highlighting powder of bronze color to your face, particularly the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.
Eye-Shadow, Mascara and Eye-liner
Dramatic dark eye makeup especially goes very well with olive skin. Some of the eye shadow colors that are best suited for an olive skin are chocolate, bronze, silver, metallic gold and brown. For your eyes, you may use mascara liberally to get thick, long and dark eye lashes. Eyeliner can be extended way out of the edge of the eyes to complete the dramatic eye look! Purple, green and blue colored eye makeup look good on this skin tone too, so if you are wearing a dress of any of these colors, you may use the same while doing makeup.
Lipsticks
Women with olive skin should opt for lipstick in any of the shades of brown. Plum color, wine color, terracotta and bronze are some of the other lipstick colors that suit olive skin. Some lipstick shades that you should avoid are pink and orange. Apply a lip liner which is one shade darker than the lipstick and then wear the lipstick inside. It will make your lips look luscious and kissable. Otherwise, if you want to keep your look subtle, you can opt for a clear lip gloss and do away with lipsticks all together.
Besides these tips, you can even consider experimenting with your hair to jazz up your look. You can opt for changing your hair style or even coloring your hair. Some of the best hair colors are red, burgundy, golden brown, light golden brown, and strawberry blond. In the end, it can be said that with the right selection of makeup and hair colors, there are no two ways that women with olive skin can look like divas!
