i prefer none. it just looks too fake to me.
since youve got full lips, you wont need it unless you want them to look even fuller.
But if you absolutely must, choose a color only SLIGHTLY(super emphasis on slightly) darker than the color of your lips/lipstick/gloss or whatever youre using.
Also, if you can tell its there, then its probably too much.
As for the color, natural tones work best with an olive complexion. This includes browns, golds, reds, yellows, greens, oranges and such. Pink also works sometimes, but it depends on the shade.

I have full lips and an olive complexion as well. Lip liner is never in or out, it is a must. I never wear lipstick without lip liner, the lipstick will bleed and fade without it. So I wear a nude lip liner. Something that matches the shade of your lips. For example DuWop make a nice neutral pencil. You can find their products at Sephora.

Lip liner was designed to keep lipsticks from smudging or bleeding out past the lips, however if you take a brown lipliner pencil and then a clear or slightly tinted gloss over that to blend it... and make SURE you blend... it might look really nice.
Generally you want a lipliner pencil that matches your lipstick color.
It's like tracing the lines of a drawing so that there's less risk of coloring outside them.
Sites say for olive toned skin, go with cool colors. Like mauves.

My lips are tattooed a very soft pink. It looks like I always have lip color on, but it isn't overwhelming. I had to go twice to get it to this color. If I want it darker I can always wear a different color over it. I had it done from an outside angle, so they appear a little fuller than they did before, but I don't look ridiculous. I get a lot of compliments on it.

I also have olive skin....using a lip liner helps to define the shape of your lips, if you must use a lip liner, it is always good to use one that's a similar shade to your lipstick or lip gloss.....but if you just want to line your lips and then gloss, go for a very light brown pencil that is not as harsh as using black.

im not a professional, but just from what i have seen, an olive complexion looks good with a light brown, coloured liner, and a slightly lighter shade of lipstick or lip gloss. and if you already have full lips, liner may not be needed. a nice lipstick and a coat of clear gloss could make your lips stand out just fine. good luck.

if you must wear lip liner, you actually need to wear one that matches the shade of your lips not your lip stick. otherwise when your lipstick or lip gloss wears off you will be left with a ring around your mouth. saw the tip on what not to wear from the make-up expert. I have tried it and agree.

Use a lip liner that's a little darker then your lipstick or lip gloss... it's good to use a lip liner, ur lipstick,gloss... last longer and looks better that way.

If you use a liner it should be almost the same color as your lipstick, unnoticable! If you have full lips then you don't really need it.
