Hey all! I've been trying to figure out my undertone for a some time, especially because I have what I think is fair olive complexion, and it's been really challenging. Usually, I hear about skin tones being neutral or warm, but with my subtle olive hue, it's hard to tell where I fall. For example, my skin has a slight greenish tint in specific light settings, and sometimes gold jewelry looks decent on me, but silver doesn't seem to look vibrant as much. I've tried some online color analysis tests and looked at various skin tone charts, but many just place olive tones under cool tones without considering how subtle or light the olive can be. From my experience, it feels like the usual warm vs. cool categories don't fully cover what's happening with olive undertones, especially if your skin is on the lighter side. Has anyone else dealt with this? I came across a pretty detailed explanation and chart that breaks down olive skin undertones more thoroughly, which helped me start thinking about it differently 16 season color analysis . But I'm still unsure about which colors really suit fair olive skin best. If you have this skin tone or have done a similar analysis, what colors did you find work well? Are there any specific palettes (like maybe on the soft or muted side) that you would recommend? I'm hoping to get more guidance and maybe some personal tips to avoid those mismatched color mismatches when picking clothes or makeup. Thanks in advance for any advice!
