Answer 2

I also have dark brown hair and olive skin, and I find that golds make your skin shine and make it look tan and healthy. I try to stay away from pinks in the eyeshadow, but whites/silvers work well. As for eyeliner, I go for the basic black. It's not a good idea to wear bright red blush, but more coral/less red colors look good. And of course, a little red lipstick every once in a while works.

Answer 3

Olive skin beauties need less makeup but wearing more of it can create a high glamour look. Lips can go light or dramatic with color with a variation of brown tones but the best are russets and shades of terra cotta browns. For evenings, plums or wine colors create a fabulous statement. Generally you can depend on light browns, deep browns, soft browns, velvety chocolates, red browns, plum browns, wine browns. Avoid pinks and oranges. They will do nothing for you. Use a lip pencil the same shade or a shade darker than your lipstick to maximize a luscious mouth. Apply lipstick. Blot with a tissue, then reapply.

Lipshades that look great with Olive skin: Eruption, Rustique, Raison, Rum Raison, Diva, Rapture, Porsche Red, Matador Red, Rouge, Mulberry, Vamp, Maddness, Silk, Quartz, Sheer Power, Dune Rose.

Emphasize the eyes. Shadow color here can be strong, especially in shades of browns, chocolate, silver, bronze or olive. The eyelashes can be dark, thick and long with the right application of mascara. Take your time with this, allow 1- 2 minutes after each application of mascara to avoid smearing. Reapplying mascara at the end of the day is ok but do it lightly to avoid clumping. Olive skin tends to be oily so powder around the eyes to avoid runny mascara Always take it off at night, leaving it on dries out lashes and causes breakage. Remember, mascara is good for only 2-3 months. After that it gets dry, clumps and is unhygenic.

Style tips
Sunglass glamour prevails and is a great style accents in light metal frames. Consider platinum or pearl is a chic look that emphasizes the eyes. Sunglasses are as important to protecting the delicate skin around the eyes from blinking and frowning as they are to fashion.

Hats are a flattering, flirtatious and blatant style accessory that is a great glamour look. The also can protect your skin from the harsh rays of the sun. Brimmed hats and baseball caps work for a personalized, carefree style with a continental feel.

Try wearing blouses, skirts and scarves with material that moves and flows. Try wearing jewelry accessories in crystals, pearls and gold.
HINT: The more extravagant the necklace, the more uncluttered the neckline should be The most flattering materials bring light to the face

I would say go for the tan/bronzed look so..
eyes: deep brown or black liner
eye shadow: you should experiment, on the top of my head Honesty and Woodwinked from MAC are good
lips: keep it natural/nude

you should go in for the consultations at macys/nordstroms where they put different looks on you
