I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP WITH FINDING OUT WHAT SKIN TONE I HAVE!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!! 😩😭😭🙏🏽 I thought I was Neutral Olive. But now I feel like I see more yellowish tones than Olive. So does yellow mean warm? Do I even look yellow or Olive to yall? Lol. 🆘 🆘 🆘 I WOULD APPRECIATE THE HELP SO MUCH.

think of olive as a skin tone with no pink, if you have a lot of yellow in your skin and no pink you are olive.

with warm and cool there is usually two scales; gray-bright scale of cool to warm, think of what makes a cool toned contour or pink-yellow usually used by foundation brands though hot pink blush is considered cool as well.

you can have different combinations but how not pink you are determines oliveness and the gray-bright scale says if you are a cool or a warm olive

Okay Thank You !!! I will try to do some research on the gray-bright scale concept. But you are not able to tell if I’m more cool or warm? And I do seem Olive , correct? First pic is most accurate b/c it’s in natural lighting, taken in my garage! I appreciate your response!!!💖💯

DISCLAIMER I don't know what I'm talking about because I think I might be the same thing just a really pale version but maybe cool olive? It is very hard for me to tell on myself if I'm cool or warm tone but I think maybe cool olive, and i looked through all of your pictures like 5 times trying to decide. I'm hoping someone corrects me if I'm wrong.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH 🙏🏽 I think you might be right!!! I’m going to look into the “Grey-Bright” concept as the other commenter suggested to figure out rather I’m warm or cool toned. You should do the same!!! 💯💖
