Thanks to its green undertones, olive skin is tricky to make-over, especially when it comes to hunting down the perfect blush. If you find yourself being sent off with a 'one-shade-suits-all' pastel pink each time you hit the beauty counter, you're not alone, but, shopping the right colour need no longer be a nightmare.
