Lipstick for olive skin
Different shades of brown can look great on olive skin. Lancôme have a great range, go light for day and for a deeper brown with reddy tones (214, Hippie Brown) for the evening. Don't forget tanned skin and green eyes look fabulous with brighter orangey lipsticks, we love the Lancôme 104 Orange Fashionista.

Bronzer for olive skin
If you already have a warm skin tone then opt for a bronzer and not a blusher. Stay natural and true to your skin tone, this will give your natural colour a glow as apposed to making pasty or look overly made-up.

Highlighter for olive skin
If you feel your skin is looking slightly dull and lifeless, apply a well placed highlighter rather than more foundation which will just cover up your natural skin tone. Dot this highlighter along your cheek bones and then pat to blend; it's not overly shimmery so it will look lovely on olive skin and will leave a natural sheen, perking skin up instantly.
