Best Blush for Light Olive Skin

How do you find the perfect blush color? Finding a shade of blush for light olive skin is not always easy. There are many different shades of blushes on the market, and it’s hard to know which one will work best with your natural complexion.

With so many options, how do you decide what to buy?

Blush is one of the most important makeup products for girls who are light olive-skinned. Choosing the right blush can be tricky, so I’ve put together a list of my favorite blushes for you.

I will also be going over some tips on choosing the right type of blush for a light olive skin tone and what types of colors might look best on you.

NARS Blush in Orgasm

NARS Blush in Orgasm is my absolute favorite blush for light olive skin. It has the perfect peachy/golden sheen to it and looks beautiful on most light olive-skinned girls.

This new blush edition comes in a retail box and has a silky, superfine micronized powder pigment that ensures irresistibly soft, blendable application. With a light application of even the highest-intensity hues, you’ll get a natural look that’s perfect for any skin tone.

I love this blush because it looks like the perfect mix between peachy and golden, but not too dark.

It blends out beautifully on the skin without applying too much color. I rely on this shade of blush for lighter olive complexions because it gives me a subtle glow that’s perfect for everyday use. This is one of my favorite makeup products.

Clinique Cheek Pop

If you are looking for a natural way to add some color to your cheeks, then the Clinique’s Cheek Pop is the perfect solution.

The vibrant, yet subtle shades look virtually powder-free, and can be applied easily with the accompanying brush. Sweep it over your apples of cheeks and blend up towards your cheekbones for a healthy, flushed look.

It comes with a warm poppy color that will suit any complexion. These blushes are perfect for light olive skin complexions since they’re a lot lighter than other shades on the market.

The blush blends beautifully and gives you a very natural-looking cheek pop without being overwhelming.

The blush is lightweight and blends easily, so you won’t even notice it on your face after applying this product to your cheeks.

This is another one of my favorite blushes for light olive skin because of how natural-looking it is. It’s also very affordable.

Buxom Wanderlust Primer Infused Blush

Buxom Wanderlust Primer Infused Blush is the perfect way to achieve a natural, luminous flush that lasts all day.

The silky, primer-infused powder blush locks in color for 12 hours without fading or smudging. Plus, the subtle, beachy scent will transport you to your happy place.

This colorless primer allows the blush to blend seamlessly into any olive skin tone, while the subtle, beachy scent invokes thoughts of vacationing in paradise.

Best of all, this formula is free from parabens, mineral oil, petroleum, and sulfates. This blush is light in texture and blends into the skin seamlessly.

It leaves a natural sheen on your face that’s very subtle and noticeable when applied correctly. This is one of my favorite blushes for olive complexions because it leaves a nice glow to the cheeks without applying too much color.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush

The Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush has a natural finish and is flattering to any skin tone. With its beautifully simple package, it can be used in a myriad of ways: either as an everyday blush or a noticeable pop of color for when you’re going out with friends.

This product delivers long wear coupled with a supremely soft texture that is gentle on the skin and will not dry out your cheeks.

Dependable from dawn to dusk, this blush does not fade fast or cake up throughout the day – this lasts through rain or shine. The finely milled formula was made using clean ingredients harvested from the banks of the Amazon River and baked by the sun’s relentless heat.

Paired with an angled cheek brush, this gorgeous blush will blend seamlessly into your skin to create a youthful-looking glow that lasts all day – all while looking naturally pretty too.

Best used on dry skin for easier blending and precise color application.

Urban Decay Naked Blush Trio

If like me, you’re looking for a foolproof way to achieve that natural, sun-kissed look, then you need the Urban Decay Stay Naked Threesome Palette.

This trio of bronzer, highlighter, and blush powders is perfect for achieving an all-over glow. The lightweight, blendable textures give you a satin finish that never streaks or cakes. Plus, the antioxidant and anti-pollution properties of moringa oil help protect your skin against everyday aggressors.

With natural, buildable pigments and silky-smooth texture, every shade looks natural and blends superbly into the skin for that sexy “bare” look. This palette contains 27% more product than Urban Decay’s original naked line of 12 shades – and best of all, you’ll never have to worry about streaks.

A delicious smelling trio as all three powders are infused with moringa seed oil to provide hydration and nourish your skin on top of filling it with the perfect amount of pigment without being too heavy or looking “masky.”

The low-maintenance finish leaves behind a soft glow that looks like you’re naturally glowing.

This is one of my top choices for an olive skin tone because it provides the most natural-looking blush that’s suitable for all-day wear, is lightweight, and blends into the skin beautifully.

Choosing the Right Blush for your Skin Tone

The first thing that people usually think about when they’re trying to choose a new beauty product is whether or not it suits their general look.

For example, if you have dark hair and brown eyes then pink tones in blushes may work better than coral or orange ones. There are certain color combinations that complement each other, especially when it comes to makeup.

If you have let olive skin with cool undertones then your best blush options are pinkish hues, as opposed to peach or coral reds. However, if you like a more natural look and want something that looks like it’s part of your skin, then you’re better off with a cream blush.

The best way to find the right shade for you is by doing some experimentation.

You can take photos of yourself before and after applying the different shades on your face so that you can see what looks the best.

Even if you’re not a girly girl, you should always have a blush on hand. They can make your face look fresh and glowing – especially during the colder winter months.

Any of these shades will complement olive skin tones beautifully.
