Answer 1

red

Answer 2

I agree with those who said "Stay away from reds", well atleast not all reds. Try some darker reds because with light reds any woman, no matter their skin color would look like they came from the street corner. Or as my dad would say, "You look like a hobby horse." Please take no offence to those comments?

My suggestion, would also be pinks, anything with blues in them, no yellows, it would look bad with the olive skin. I have a friend who's Italian and she would wear colors like these: e.g. Could try what some makeup artists would call 'Nude', or mauve, or a light brownish color of some sort. Try any pinks, or dark reds, again I say. Try some light and medium purples. Also try some of these with gloss on or in them.

Answer 3

Stick with clear, cool colors. If you use makeup on your eyes, you may want a shiny gloss over a peach or pink. If you don't do much with your eyes, you can go with bright pinks or corals or peach (all on the pink side)....not any shade that has an orange or beige cast to it. It should have an undertone of blue. I would use a pinkish gloss over the lipstick too. It will give a sparkle to your face and eyes.

Answer 4

Light Red

Answer 5

Wild Woman Josie, Cranberry and Petal are all nice options in a rosy or berry shade from Bare Escentuals. Sephora has them all for $15

Answer 6

First, determine if you’re Warm, Neutral or Cool — based on your eye, hair and skin color/tones — then select the shades specifically formulated for that group. You are a neutral ....

WARM (W)
Skin Color: Yellow, orange skin undertones Eye Color: Brown, green, hazel Hair Color: Brunette, red, blonde.

NEUTRAL (N)
Skin Color: Fair/light pink, olive, yellow skin undertones Eye Color: All Hair Color: All

COOL (C)
Skin Color: Blue, pink skin undertones Eye Color: Blue, violet, gray Hair Color: Blonde, brunette

I use this line for makeup they have the color sets and you could buy them individuals.....
