- In this video, I highlight which shades of blush to avoid and choose, when you have olive skin tone.
My top blush:
Nudestix (shade: sunkissed)
Glossier Cloud Paint (shade: storm)
Makeup Forever cream Blush (shade: 335)
Hourglass (shade: diffused heat)
Laura Mercier (shade: ginger) ** current fav not mentioned in the video

So in love with this channel cuz being green is hard LMAO
Awe thanks so much! Yesssss it sure is!
@@OliveEmbrace Can you make a video for best highlighters for olive skin tone? Any video about olive skin tone (clothes color, hair dye colors, accessorize..etc.) will be very helpful and a lot of people will watch it
HMDY hey! For sure would love to. I do have one video on best colours I wear and also a clothing haul that might help. I will try and get more videos similar to that:) ty ty
😂😂
Shrek 4 life 🤷♀️
Omg, finally someone that mentioned the brightness issue. I think this is one of the most important tips when it comes to olive skin tones. Anything muted/toned down works so much better for me. Thank you for this really helpful video!!
Awe you are most welcome!!!! So happy it helped 😊
Sis can u do one please on bronzers for olive skin?a lot of bronzers can pull off orange on us 🥺♥️
Yes definitely :) a bronzer that has been working for me so far is the Anastasia bronzer called saddle. Its kind of between cool toned and red toned bronzer.
Right? I’m light skinned olive tone. Bronzers always look orange on me. Frustrating. Thank you 😊
I have olive cool and delicate skin and kosas medium and lawless golden hour works great
I mix my bronzer with a little bit of cool tone bronzer which works for me
I can never find the right blush! I used to follow makeup artists with yellow skin tones and the colours they used never worked on me. I looked like a clown 😭 thank you so much for this! Subscribed! ❤️
Awe :) so glad it helped ❤️thanks so much
2:36 Avoiding bright colors only applies to muted olives, not bright olives. Olive undertoned people who can be warm, cool, or neutral olive undertones in which case these systems tend not to work as they are created for the majority. You an also be neutral leaning towards one or the other and not fully on one end. Add on top of that muted (desaturated) or bright (saturated) well. Bright colors look tame on bright olives. In fact, bright coral looks like a calm blush on cool toned bright olive undertones. It all depends on where one falls in the olive spectrums.
This was very informative. Thank you so much for this!
I agree! I am very fair, but I am a bright cool toned olive. I am not muted, my skin has a very bright yellow/green undertone and my best colors are bright cool toned pinks, bright fuschia and bright oranges like Nars Heat Wave. I can also pull off the pale cool toned pink 60’s look pretty easily. Muted vs clear/bright makes a huge difference.
I am a cool olive, I have a very hard time finding Foundations because even if brands make olive foundations they make them warm olive. I look the best in cool light bright pink blushes and orangey/coral blushes look so bad on me. I dont even wear bronzer cause they all look bad:(. For highlight white/silvery highlights look better than champagne/warm gold highlights. Hope this helps cool olives. Thanks for the video ^^
Thanks so much for sharing!!! I know exactly what you mean and its hard enough to find makeup forwarm olive and I think its even harder for cool olives.
Did you look at Laura Mercier for foundations. I’m medium grayish olive myself not sure if that’s cool or neutral but I find muted blushes works best for me. 🧟♀️I would think something bright would be more flattering but not for me. I’m still trying to find a bronzer that looks good on me. Even though I’m not too pale I love bluish highlighters but I could get away with champagne but never golds.
The struggle is real,I still haven't figure out if I am a cool or a warm olive,but I tend to go for peach, nudes and berry tones.Coral looks the worst on me and bright pink is just clownish.
I think you are a Warm Olive but it is the opposite for Cool Olives (i.e. the Korean model with bright blush you mentioned). I suit red blush, pearl shimmers, purple mauves, true cool pinks. I'm Eurasian (Portuguese-Burmese) with grey-blue eyes and light olive cool-toned skin and jet-black natural hair. I don't suit corals, nudes, bronzers or dusty colours at all.
you are so underrated! omg every olive girl needs to watch this channel this is soo helpful
Awe thanks so much 🙈means so much! You’re the best!
I pinched My cheeks and mixed different blushes and pigments, until I got a natural looking blush. I ended with a Berry shade wich I apply very lightly.
Keep going with these they are great!! some warm mauve have work on my olive skin as well!
Awe thank you! Oooo perfect will give that a try
The blush colors that suit me best for my olive complexion are coral, apricot, terracotta, nude brown blushes. I avoid roses. Thank you for this video
Terracotta is my fav! Same here ;)
I discovered you just now
And your channel is for olive people
Oh my gosh
I instantly subbed
Thanks girl 💖
awe thank you 💕
Please do an eyeshadow palettes vid! So glad to find someone with my same skin hue
Sure I’ll try 💕❤️
I’m also an olive (cool-ish leaning) I can really only wear rose tones (cooler & warmer) in medium range ^.^
Anything too orange/coral/pink will look very odd on me :/
Any neutral bronzers also work (nothing too cool or warm). Highlighters are champagne/gentle gold, no silvers really ^.^
Jewelry wise I think I look best in rose gold and bronze. I would choose silver over gold tho. Haha it’s super confusing having olive undertones/skin 😅
I used to wear all these light purple and cool pink shades or bright reds and it looked to awful! Completely separate from my skin! I also consider myself a warm olive and I look best in warm brownish plum or slightly yellow terracotta.
One bright colour that usually works on warm olive (but more for lips than for blush) would be orange and warm red I would say!
Agree with all of your recommendations! 😍
Thank you, you've saved me so much time and money!!
Physician formula's liquid blush named apricot something is a really good blush.Milani's liquid blush in nude flush is also a good option.
Yaaash waiting for contour and bronzing products 🥰
Been getting requests on this so will do!!!!
Sunny W the video is now up 🙈hope it helps!
Yess already watched it! So nice!
I have light-medium olive skin and my best blushes are Nars Gina and Benefit Dallas.
A life saver I swear
Ahhh thanks so much!!! Soooooo happy to help :)
Yess thanks i agree!
Thank you sooo much for the video❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
You are most welcome! 🥰
I highly recommend Cover FX Blush Duo in Warm Honey. It's extremely pigmented so you only need to tap your brush in lightly, but it blends out easily. You get a ton of product, you can use it matte only, or layer it with the shimmer. I use it all the time and I have acne scarring. It doesn't accentuate texture.
Something I need whenever I get acne for sure! I heard cover fx also has concealers that work for olive skin so I’ll check this out. Thanks so much!!!!
@@OliveEmbrace You can use Ebates (Rakuten now) and affiliate codes to get the price down. I'm so glad I found your channel!
Rebekah N wow ok will try it for sure! Glad to have met you through CZcams :)
I have this, and I love it!
I am struggling to fidn good tint or light foundatio cause I am pale yellow-grenn-greyish. Usually sb tries to sell me neutral colours but I now it won't work. Thanks for this video. It was helpful
I know what you mean! I’m on the same boat as you. Very rare to find neutral colours that works for our skin... sometimes it oxidizes grey on me. So glad it helped :)
Yay! Loved this! Can you please list your Mac shade so I can compare in future vids :) Also the colors are so gorgeous, can you recommend drugstore and high end powder blushes you think would compliment our skin tone. Thank you so much for your content, I’m obsessed 💕
For sure! I am usually Nc 30-35 for Mac. I believe as long as you stick to nudist pinks or darker peachy tones, it will def itself compliment our skin tone!!! My favourite high end blush so far is Laura mercier in shade ginger - which is a nudist peachy tone kind of blush. For drugstore, I love love most of Milani’s shades under the baked blush category cause they have the darker peachy, bronze and pink tones that most of them would match our skin. Im so glad the video helped :) I know it’s not easy being green as they say hahaha!
Olive Embrace oh, yes! U are right :) I’m going on a blush hunt lol thank you so much and I’m going to take your advice. I’m also Mac nc30-35 ❤️❤️❤️yay, glad I subscribed.
Olive Embrace can you show us all your best shadows looks and lippies drug store and high end♥️ thank you so much lol I’m excited to see more content from you lol
Yasmin Smith oooo love the lipstick idea! Might do that soon :) gotta be honest I’m not as talented with eyeshadow but I’m still learning 🙈 did start putting out eyeshadow looks on my IGTV :) thanks so much! I love loveeeee hearing that I am helping out cause that’s my goal.
I bought soft amethyst from em cosmetics, I hope it works well
Could you analyze famous olive skin people? Like eva mendes, alessandra ambrosio etc
I'm neutral, but yellow olive. It took me months of dedicated research to learn that, since you know...yellow is supposed to be warm, my veins are all the colors, and I didn't know what olive skin was lol
I've been told I lean cool and also that I lean warm. Nars Gobi matches me perfectly, but their shades that are a step darker (for when i'm tanned) are not olive-neutral enough. A company called EX1 is a dedicated line for olive skin; I haven't tried it but I want to!
Also, is anyone here familiar with Nars Liquid Blushes? There are 4 colors and I'm trying to figure out which are best for fair...ish olive skin?
If you think you’re yellow olive, you might be warm olive or like me who leans between neutral and warm :) I did a video on ex1 cosmetics- they lean more towards warm olive I’d say.
I haven’t tried but one thing I learned is that orgasm nars blush color does work well with olive skin
@@OliveEmbrace yeeees exactly the Orgasm shade works perfectly on Warm-olive skin, I have medium tan warm-olive skin tune and I've tried the shade its beautiful
So helpful because I love a nice flush but without looking like it’s just sitting on top of the face lol .
Hi Thankyou for blush tips, now can u please do video on lipsticks shade for medium olive skin
Absolutely!
Very helpful! This confirms why some blush colours work well on my skin and others don't. Wondering what your experience and advice would be regarding tinted sunscreens. I can't seem to find one that matches my olive tone.
So glad it helped :) hmmmm I haven’t tried tinted sunscreens, just tinted moisturizers. Usually I just mix my sunscreen with my make up. I bet it’s super difficult since everything is pink or yellow toned. I would maybe recommend find something that says neutral if there is one. If I do come across one, I’ll definitely update :)
@@OliveEmbrace thanks for responding! I'm now using Laroche Posay anthelios tinted but it is too orangy when I first put it on, so I use another spf under it first that makes me a little lighter to balance the effect of the second spf. But that still is a bit too dark. I'm trying the Avene tinted fluid spf next week and hope that will work better.
Ow forgot to add: I don't use make up so I use a tinted spf to give me some even coverage.
Hasna256 oh yah I see what you mean. If you have a hard time maybe try a tinted moisturizer and mix it with sunscreen that’s what I do most times. I will also have my eye out for one that works!
@@OliveEmbrace Hi, an update: I've been using the Avene mineral fluid tinted spf 50 days for several days now and I love it! Almost perfect for my light brown-yellow skin colour. I still need to also add some white/clear mineral spf when re-applying or otherwise it will become a bit too dark. But I'm happy I found something that doesn't look at all like my face doesn't match my chest :)
It would have been great if you would have done some swatches. Thank you 😊
Will keep in mind ❤️ thank you
The new elf camp blushes…. What color? I got the one I think it’s called dusty rose? Looked maybe but when I put it on it looked too coral
Thank you!
I have Olive skin with Yellow undertones. It's hard to find foundation during the year when my skin tone changes with the season.
That’s the challenge! olive skin changes skin tones so easily and sometimes I can’t find makeup in between winter and summer.
I have the same skin i use foudation with yellow undertone and I mixed this with green primer.
@@zelka6135 ooh, I never thought of that. Good Idea👍
@@DontCareBeare.5791 welcome. Greetings from Poland. I wish you nice Day.
Great video!!! We have similar skin tones....what would be your mac foundation shade hun? ❤❤❤
Hey that’s awesome! I am NC 30 or 35 I believe
oh wow im super late to this video anyways, does anyone know a good shade for rare beauty blush?
Hi , don't know if u Will read my comment or not XD ...
I would like to add ( max factor cream blush shade: soft Murano ) looks beautiful on warm olive skin
Super helpful!!! Green greetings from Australia ... 😁
Thank you and so great to meet you :)
I think this place is the best place to maks video!! Nice natural lighting 😍 will u remake the foundation video from here? Haha 🐣🤩
I’ll try my best! Which foundation was it?!! Lol
Olive Embrace fenty and shiseidooo😍😍
Rizki Permatasari ok I’ll try:)
OMG, Just today discovered your channel and believe me I feel like I've found my long lost family :( everyone in the comments section feel sooo relatable omg :(...
Thank you so much!!!!!! ❤️
what cream blushes would you recommend from Selena Gomez's rare beauty line for olive skin?
I haven’t checked out her line but been meaning to!!! I’ll make a vid if ever
@@OliveEmbrace Thanks that would be wonderful! I have her foundation and eye liner and they are both wonderful, I definitely recommend!
Nat135 H26 wow which shade are you?
@@OliveEmbrace My shade is 210N from the rarebeauty line, I would recommend it for you as well as my skin tone is olive neutral like yours!
Nat135 H26 I will definitely try that!!!! Can’t wait
I’ve noticed pink blush looks horrid on me. I use peach only
d
Do you have any blushes from the drugstore ? I am so glad I found you. I have olive skin with yellow u undertones.
Not yet! Looking to do one ;) thanks for the idea. So happy to know ❤️
@@OliveEmbrace Thank you. I will be looking forward to it.
I use burgundy blush and i'd say It works oddly
Is it like reddish brown? I don’t think I’ve tried burgundy :)
I also find burgundy like blushes suit me. I use one from the deep palette of the elf blush (the one with four blushes) and it's my go to.
Also, you should include affiliate links in your description so you get some benefit from this!
When you have naturally rosy cheeks and fair olive skin: 👁👄👁
Beauty!
Blush aside... I, for some reason, don't look good when I wear powder highlight. Is it just me? :/
Nah I use liquid cause powder somehow looks separate to my skin
@@OliveEmbrace glad that I am not alone 😂.. I am currently using the loreal lumi illuminating primer as a highlight. It is just a sheen, not very noticeable
@@mernam5056 oooo nice!!!! Yah I thought it was just my skin but maybe it has something to do with my skin tone? Hahaha I dunno
If you dnt try any of them, we’re like there is no video! Whats the point??
Does nudestix sunkissed will suit to medium warm tone skin colour?
Yes I believe it should!
You are olive WARM toned, that’s why dolly cool pink and silver doesn’t suit you and peach color suits you very well. I am olive cool toned, the cloud paint works for well, but the peach is too warm for me.
I think you should try the avoiding color on you to show how unflatterring they are
Yes I did show one picture and they look like that for sure. But thank you:) will do in the future
i think you look more pinkish than olive, maybe your camera filter
I've seen three of your videos, and became a fan, i suspect I'm an olive undertone, I want you to see my photos and confirm me if I'm an Olive toned 🙏
Would love to help :) shoot me a message on Instagram
Hi , don't know if u Will read my comment or not XD ...
I would like to add ( max factor cream blush shade: soft Murano ) looks beautiful on warm olive skin
Read it! And thanks so much for the suggestion, where can I get that brand?
@@OliveEmbrace :) when I googled where to get in America , it read ( Walmart ) and ( Amazon ) ... It's a very old famous brand but obviously not American .. it's European I suppose
@@user-xy5bc5mq4r oh that’s makes sense!
