Earth tones, plums, dark blues, you could do a lot with olive. Don't go too bright though, you'll look like a bimbo. Stay with quieter colors. I'm olive, so I know where you're coming from.

Orange, red based colors, brown are good colors. What you would think of as Fall colors are good. Pastel like pale yellow or bright yellow aren't so good. some golds are okay. Basically, most pastels are less favorable. Off white is much better than solid snowy white which messes up the olive. Turquoises and teals.

I think earth tones. Those colors would enhance the complexion, but come across as being "natural beauty". I'm not saying no color at all, but if it's a lipstick, it should be more brown in it than red.

Put a lot of burts bees lifeguard's choice chapstick over any lipstick and it will make it look lighter and better.It's pretty with olive skin because it makes it look tan. Also, a peach blush. I think anything that makes it look too dark around the eyes looks bad. If you want to wear dark eyeshadow choose grey or black or else coat the eye area with concealer or light eyeshadow first.

Browns, plums, gold is even a nice contrast. In the summer, sepia tones like shades of brown and orange, and some bright colors like turquoise and white.
Same goes for make-up shades as well; plums go best on lips; while pinks and bronzing beads go best on cheeks, (for your cheeks I recommend Maybelline's Salsa Sun).

Best colors are those of a brown and/or pale green nature. The worst colors are red and/or puse. Good Luck! :)

I always think that a dark skin tone looks nice with any colors.

it's all part of the whole "grass is greener" mindset. white people in the states pay plenty of money to get fake tans while many SE Asians find pale skin to be desirable... everyone trying to be someone they aren't

Any color suits your skin complexion.

White or light pastels but stay away from greens.
