Correctors
This is the ONLY skin tint I’ve found that blends easily with my light olive undertones. It has green pigment to correct redness, but this also allows it to blend in with the green tones in my skin. Not to mention it lasts all day, provides JUST enou...
CC Red Correct Green Color Corrector SPF25 - Erborian | Ulta Beauty
This concealer in the shade Peek of Vanilla works wonderfully as a brightening under-eye concealer. It doesn’t pull pink or orange on me, resists creasing, and lasts all day. I love it!
Hide & Peek Concealer - Light 4 | Ulta Beauty
THIS THIS THIS!! This is my holy grail!! Most products that pull too orange on me can be fixed with just a tiny drop of this. This has completely changed the game for me. I cannot recommend it enough!!
Blue Pro Matte Mixing Pigment - L.A. Girl | Ulta Beauty
This product adds such a natural glow to the skin! Despite having oily skin, I add this to my higher coverage foundations/skin tints to make them easier to blend and sheer them out a bit. It makes my makeup look so natural and my skin looks healthy!
Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Illuminating Serum
Every healthy makeup routine starts out with good skincare! Sunscreen is super important and this one has a green tint that corrects redness and blends well with my olive undertones. No whitecast here!
Force Shield Superlight Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 - Hero Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Foundation
This foundation is a cult classic for a reason! I’ve worn it for formal gatherings, photoshoots, and special dates. It looks beautiful and don’t be fooled by the website’s color description — it doesn’t pull pink on me! I’ve linked my summer shade bu...
2N2 Buff Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation - Estée Lauder | Ulta Beauty
This foundation is beautiful! It’s light enough for everyday wear, but can be built up to a medium coverage. The undertone is a close match to my skin and the sheerness of it allows it to blend more seamlessly with my skin. I’ve worn this in the summ...
NC25 Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Liquid Foundation Makeup - MAC | Ulta Beauty
This skin tint has been INCREDIBLE this summer! I got it in the shade 4 which is slightly yellow on me, but perfect when mixed with a bit of blue color corrector. This easily builds up to medium coverage, but I sheer it out with the Saie supergel. Th...

Blush
This looks more red in person which is why I LOVE it in the summer and winter months. In the summer, it looks like I’m just slightly sunburnt from spending time at the beach. In the winter, it makes me look flushed from being outside. The red tone ac...
Ruby On-the-Glow Blush Tinted Moisture Stick - Pixi | Ulta Beauty
The Milani baked blushes are GORGEOUS! They blend beautifully into the skin and have the slightest bit of illumination to make your skin look glowy. I particularly like the shade Berry Amore which makes me look flushed without looking orange.
Berry Amore Baked Blush - Radiant Powder Blush - Milani
This has been the PERFECT color on me as a light olive and its stain formula means it lasts all day. It blends beautifully on the cheeks (easier than benetint, dare I say) and makes my blush last all day when layered under powder.

Lips 💋
Black Honey is loved by many for a reason! It’s a universally flattering shade and the almost lipstick can be sheer or built up for a bolder look. Pro tip: make sure to exfoliate or moisturize your lips before since this can cling to dry patches!
Black Honey Almost Lipstick - Clinique | Ulta Beauty
This is an incredible dupe for the black honey lipgloss/oil and I like it even better!! It’s super hydrating, gives a beautiful tint, and isn’t sticky. I wear this almost every day and keep it in my purse. I can’t recommend it enough!
Jam Session Glow Reviver Lip Oil - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I love this shade when I want a more natural look. It’s a true “your lips but better” shade for us olives that is also hydrating and glossy ✨
