What it concludes

• Olive skin tone is characterized by a green cast created by a strong blue or cool undertone combined with a weaker yellow overtone.
• Olive skin does not refer to depth of skin color and can range from very pale to dark.
• Yellow skin does not automatically have a warm undertone, as pale yellow skin already has enough yellow and needs no more to balance it.
• Olive skin tones feature both blue and green veins, which can be misinterpreted as neutral.
• Matching makeup and clothing colors to your olive undertone prevents unflattering muddy or orange effects.
