I don't wear blush but I tend to go with mauves, gray,charcoal,browns.

I'm not really olive as far as skin tone but I do have brown eyes
Recently, what I've been doing to make my brown eyes stand out is brush on a natural color shadow and line my upper lash line with a darker shadow (a navy or purple of some sort) and then a nice coat of mascara! The color I'm loving right now is MAC "Knight devine" its like a dark navy with some silvery shine and really makes brown eyes stand out. I use a rounded tip brush to apply the shadow to my lash line.

As for blush...I like more of a shimmer than anything. I use NARS Orgasam

Both brown-eyed and olive here! :)

I like browns and plums for my eyes. For blush, I like NARS Orga.sm or something rosy/pinky to sort of "brighten" up my complexion (some shades of blush can make me look kind of yellow, not good)

I'm olive - but I do have light skin - but hazel/green eyes so I'll just answer the blush...

I love Nars [email protected] just don't always love the shimmer to it. I also use Amour and I think it's definitely my HG - it gives a natural sunkissed look. It's a similar base color to Org@sm, but peachier (whereas O is a little pinker).

I think they're both universally flattering on a variety of skin tones.

I tend to go for neutral eye colors--kitten, sin those types. For my blush, I like O-gasm, but only the cream.. I also like stila cream blush in geranium and any smashbox bronzer. I live for black eyeliner. i do a cat eye every day! When I dress up, I love, love, love silver in the corners of my eyes and by the brow. It looks so pretty!

I wear Nars org@sm and on my eyes I wear this shimmery gold on the eyelid, a purple in the crease and pink all over to the eyebrow. These are all VERY subtle colors though ( because I know that sounds ) I can't remember the brand I will look when I get home!

This is the eyeshadow kit and it comes with a card that shows you two evening and two day looks

Okay the colors look pretty intense, I must just have a light hand

I'm fair/med tone skin w/ brown eyes and I love Nars Org. It truly is the best color I ever tried. If I wear eye color I usually go with gold shimmer.

During the day, i just wear browns/mauves ...at night i outline with black or dark dark blue and wear very dark eyeshadows. (greys/navy)
I also have been wearing Orgas$ for years, more out of being too lazy to look for a new one, than because i love it so much :/

A good thread.

Im def brown eyed (very dark) and olive skin.
I have a hard time finding things that dont looked washed out on me and I LOVE SHADOW!

I tend to use colors like Stila- Kitten and def interested in plums/purples but have yet to find a good one.
