How Do You Add Olive Undertones to Foundation?

Olive undertones are a popular way to get a sun-kissed look without using a self-tanner. Some people may have naturally olive skin, but many use it as a way to enhance their natural coloring.

When it comes to adding olive undertones to a foundation, there are a few different ways that you can go about it. One way is to mix a small amount of green or yellow eye shadow with your foundation.

Another way is to use a green concealer or primer before applying your foundation. Finally, you can also apply a light layer of olive-colored eyeshadow to your lids before applying your foundation.

Now let’s look at these in more detail.

1. Using Eye Shadow

If you want to add olive undertones to your foundation using eye shadow, you’ll need to choose a shade that is close to your skin color. You can mix it with your foundation or apply it on top.

Just make sure that the shade is matte, as shimmery shadows will only enhance any discoloration.

If you’re using a liquid foundation, mix a small amount of eye shadow with it until you get the desired shade. If you’re using a powder foundation, dip your brush into the eye shadow and then swirl it around in your foundation.

2. Using a Primer

If you want to use a primer to create olive undertones, look for one that is the same color as your foundation. As with eye shadow, you can simply swirl together or mix to get the desired shade.

You can also use a green concealer on your skin before applying your foundation. This will help to neutralize any redness and create a more olive complexion.

3. Using an Eyeshadow Palette

While it’s possible to use a green eyeshadow palette to add olive undertones to a foundation, I wouldn’t particularly recommend this method.

The reason is that it can be difficult to get an even application with a brush, and you may end up with more eyeshadow on your face than you intended.

A better option would be to use an olive-colored eyeshadow as a base before applying your foundation. This will give you a more subtle effect and help to create the appearance of olive undertones.

How to find the right foundation for olive skin?

In the past, many foundations were made with pink undertones. But if you have an olive complexion your undertone will be yellow-golden which is not always represented in brands’ ranges of shades.

The first approach entails trying different shades of foundations until you find one that matches your skin’s undertone.

The second thing to do will involve finding a shade with just medium coverage as sometimes those can be less orange than full coverage products.

You should also consider whether you would like something matte in texture before making your final decision about which product will best suit your needs.

There are many makeup brands that cater to olive skin tones these days, which means there’s no better time than now to take control of your beauty.
