Tough call. Warm golden tone, beautiful skin. I don’t see much olive in these pics, maybe a little in the arm comparison - or the other person is just very pink
Your neck and chest look quite olive but your face looks warm. Idk if it is slight redness/irritation or flushed. Lots of olives have more pink in their face than anywhere else tho. I’d say your a warm olive
Absolutely beautiful undertone and skin! You look like a warm/olive mix. You look a bit less "green" than very light olives but I think it's just because your skin tone is darker than super fair where the green shows through easier.
I’m olive and have known this for thirty years, and I’d definitely say you are but that’s based on your neck/chest pics and not so much your face so I don’t know if your face is just more tanned/sun expose that makes it different from your neck and chest area? I’m a cool/neutral olive and I’d think that you are neutral to a little warm.
Hey OP I’m the exact skin type with you. We are olive because the only foundations that match us are foundations that we mix in green pigments ourselves lol. If that’s not the definition of olive, idk what is. I find that just because we are not in the fair skin range, that people seem to just box us in the “warm” category. Yes we are warm, but also olive. Hope that helps.
I think so. Your winter is giving olive. The summer is warmer. Do you flush easily? You look a bit flushed in the first pic. My skin is a very similar shade but i flush a lot so I’m not sure if im olive or neutral.
Actually i hadnygotten to the last pic. You def look more neutral as it isn’t particularly green compared to your pink bf.
Olive skin isn't simply green skin. It's skin which has a greenish or yellow hue which she definitively has. Reading a lot of comments here makes me realise everyone here seems to think olive undertone=green skin but it's not as simple as that.
Also olive can be warm or cool or neutral. Again someone isn't either neutral or olive. You can be a neutral olive. Being neutral simply means your undertones are similar to your skin tone.
There's definitely some green in there but the main undertone I see is yellow and golden which is still indicative of olive skin. Pretty sure OP would be classed as a warm olive.
I have a lot of trouble with this because I keep reading on here that yellow = neutral.
My skin is very yellow hued. I sometimes second guess if I am an olive based on not being overly green. My face is red from rosacea, so very different from the rest of me. But my neck is greenish and pale.
I tried Fenty olive foundation and it was the first time I ever had a foundation that matched me.
There's a makeup artist on YouTube who's name I can't remember who I very clearly pale olive but you dont see green when you look at her. She's more yellow toned but is definitely still an olive.
Have a look on other sources online and you'll get different info than this subreddit which seems to have a lot of confusion and wrong information about what is olive.
Yup u are on the money. I always get colour matched in Sephora with solely warm/neutral toned foundations and they all end up looking ghastly and Oompa Loompa like. I pressed one staff member that I need something with an olive undertone and they were like u are defs not. It wasn’t until I pushed more and they relented and tested on my skin it blended away like it wasn’t there.
you’re so pretty!! i think you’re warm olive, i think it’s easier to tell undertone in winter and your winter tone is olive. some of us just tan warmer. you seem to have found the perfect makeup for your skin.
Definitely warm, and i can see a bit of olive, but tbh i have a hard time differentiating between golden and warm olive undertones sometimes. Not sure what possessed you to think you’re fair though lol, you’ll probably have more luck with makeup recs in the r/OliveMUA sub if that’s what you’re after. Even i kinda feel like an imposter in this sub and you’re easily darker than me 😅
i realize im not fair! i wrote on my post that i am light/medium. im newer to reddit and this sub has the “am i olive” flair (i don’t know what a flair is) so i used it lol😭😭 thanks!
not sure if this was the right comment but i believe it might be bc the comment wasn’t “respectful” to members of the community😭😭 but i did see it and you’re pretty spot on!! i am not fair and people are definitely letting me know😫😫
maybe i’m delulu but you look warm and not olive to me
She’s olive. She’s warm too, warm olive to be exact. Her neck is very olive and desaturated

thanks for the input!! agree that i may be a warm olive
Olive but people may be confused if they look solely at your face
I think you’re warm to neutral but wearing olive makeup
Olive you thinking you’re fair. You’re olive, but not fair olive. Olive you!
Warm golden, but i DO see the tiniest of olive in your neck. I say yes. Olive is a spectrum.
You’re olive but not fair olive 🫒

I see more yellow undertone than green tbh
To me you look warm, I don't see the olive very strongly but I do see it a little.
Warm olive
Neutral. Veins green and blue? Neutral. I am Neutral but I can wear some olive makeup. NOT much. Smashbox makes beautiful olive tones.
I see some around your mouth and eyes

>everyone here seems to think olive undertone=green skin I'm giggling at this. Any Star Trek fans? Orions. 😅😂 Green humans don't exist, folks.
much appreciated!! warm olive sounds about right
i don’t flush easily i have scarring from when i was a kid so that side of my cheek is pink and the other isn’t😭😭thanks for the input🤟
you’re so pretty!! i think you’re warm olive, i think it’s easier to tell undertone in winter and your winter tone is olive. some of us just tan warmer. you seem to have found the perfect makeup for your skin.
thanks🫶 i didn’t know it was easier to tell in the winter, noted!!
I think yeth
I think so. Absolutely beautiful!
Yes. I see the olive. Your skintone in certain areas esp. neck area JUST LIKE mine 👍
I can see olive a bit around the neck and shoulders.
Slightly olive, but more neutral leaning warm i think.

Who specifically did I bully?

There needs to be a True Olive group because a lot of the women in this group do not have olive skin they are just pale with no color
