Hey beauties! If you have olive skin like me, you know the struggle of trying to rock warm autumn makeup without turning into a pumpkin. Today I'm sharing my go-to routine for achieving that perfect fall glow that complements our gorgeous olive undertones instead of fighting with them!
The foundation of any good fall look on olive skin begins with your bronzer choice. Go for golden or neutral tones and skip anything too orange - trust me, our skin will amplify those orange tones way too much!

Choose Your Blush Wisely
For blush, I reach for soft muted shades like rose, terracotta, or burnt peach. You just want a blush with a hint of warmth because olive skin already makes warm tones pop beautifully without needing to go overboard.

Eyes That Pop with Copper & Bronze
For the eyes, stick to copper, rust, or bronze shades - these are absolute magic on olive skin! I'm using the RM Beauty eyeshadow palette in Baby Doll, which has the perfect warm-but-not-too-warm shades for our skin tone.

Add Depth with Liner
To create dimension and depth, I go in with brown or plum liner. These colors are much more flattering on olive skin than harsh black liner and they create that soft, smoky effect that's perfect for fall.

Finish with Sheer Warm Lips
For the lips, I find that working with a sheer warm brown lip gloss or lipstick works best. It's not overpowering - just the right amount of color to complete the look without competing with the rest of your makeup.
