Olive Skin - You're So Lucky!!!!




















Warm Browns
In general, red hair does not look flattering against olive skin, but you can still rock those ruddy tones if you choose a color carefully. If you want to try reddish hair, choose a deep shade of auburn or chestnut. These warm shades of brown look very flattering against light-olive skin, particularly during the summer months. If you're one of the lucky girls blessed with both olive skin and green eyes, reddish brown tones can create a striking contrast to bring out your eye color.

Blacks

Black hair looks striking and sexy against olive skin, especially if your eyes are dark brown or black. Choose any shade from espresso to blue-black; these look stunning and can flatter your olive complexion. The darker your skin is, the better you'll look with cool black hair colors. Women with medium-olive skin look great with coffee-colored black hair, while women with tanned olive skin can rock the striking shades of blue-black and jet-black.

Lighter Colors

If your skin is a fairly light olive and you have blue, green or hazel eyes, choose hair colors on the lighter end of the spectrum. Hues of copper, bronze, strawberry-blonde, light brown and golden brown can flatter a lighter olive skin tone, especially when paired with a sexy wardrobe of bold, bright colors. Bring out the piercing color of your eyes by dying your hair a bright color with golden undertones.

Wild Colors

Not every woman has what it takes to sport a head full of crazy-colored hair, but if you're brave enough to try them, "unnatural" hair colors can really flatter your appearance. Hues such as purple and burgundy look amazing against olive skin because they are complementary colors -- that is, they occur opposite from olive on the color wheel. If you have blue or green eyes, highlights with these colors can draw attention to the natural beauty of your eyes.
