You struggle to find a matching foundation, they are often too yellow or too pink.You should still protect your skin with sunscreen though (I recommend an SPF 15 or higher). If you’re light olive, your skin likely has more melanin content than other fair-skinned women. You tan in the sun rather than burning.You can’t decide if your veins on the inside of your wrist are blue or green.If you tick most boxes in this list, you’re another pale olive skin fellow (welcome to the club!) Well, apparently it’s actually very possible to have really pale, light olive skin. So what’s going on here? Can I still have olive skin and be pale? I’ve always thought of olive skin as something much darker than my skin. I have brown hair and brown eyes and I come from a totally Mediterranean family (trust me I did some research and my ancestors are all Italian and married Italian for at least the last 5 generations). Unlike my British fair-skinned friends, I can tan. I have to mix two foundations to get a more or less acceptable result. I have usually been told that I have fair skin, no wonder why… I’m a ghost! However, all the foundations for fair skin are always too yellow or too pink for me.
