For a natural finish, reach for the Color Riche Lip Liner in Eternal Mauve, Au Naturale, More Chocolate or Nudes for Life. Olive skin tones tend to have a golden undertone, which means you can get away with wearing warm or cool-toned colors. Stay away from hues that are lighter than your skin tone as they can wash you out and create an unflattering contrast.
