Neutral olive skintones are incredibly versatile and can wear a wide range of colors. These three lipstick shades are the best place to start. Your makeup bag wouldn’t be complete without a deep red, a warm rosy pink, and a bold berry lipstick.

When choosing lipsticks for someone with a similar look as Tanya (pictured above) we’re really focused on highlighting features. Think about highlighting your skin tone, hair color, eye color, and base lip color. The great thing about these colors is you'll likely be able to still wear them as your features change over time (i.e. less pigmented base lip color or salt & pepper hair). Make slight adjustments to how bold the colors are worn as your hair changes or you get a tan.

Now, let’s talk base lip color. That's the color your lips are naturally, with nothing on them. This is important because our cruelty free lipsticks are designed to blend WITH your natural lip color not completely cover it up. So, these lipsticks will look different on someone who has a brown or pink base lip color.

For reference, Tanya’s base lip color is a light purple. Knowing your base lip color allows you to find lipstick shades that are just a shade deeper for a “my-lips-but-better” look – the perfect everyday lipstick for looking pulled together without any effort. It’s your timeless, classic, everyday shade.

If your overall look, is somewhat similar to Tanya’s, these lipsticks will all be good choices for you.
You might be wondering what other makeup will look amazing on your olive skin. Below, you'll find lip pencils that will pair perfectly with the best lipsticks for you that we talked about above. We also included some glosses that would look AMAZING with those lipsticks but also beautiful worn alone. Blush is one of our favorite products, because it brings your face to life - and the shade Tango, is by far the best blush for olive skin! You could also get away with Gotta Glow (peachy pink universally flattering blush) or M'Lady (matte muted mauve - better if you have yellow undertones). Either way, your makeup bag will not be complete without blush - and we highly recommend a matte true peach blush shade, Tango.
