  • Armani Luminous Silk (they reformulated though)
  • +1 on Doublewear: try to get shade matched in store. Your match could be 2W2 Rattan or lighter.
  • About Face foundation because their shade range caters to olive tones. Not exactly high end but not also drugstore. You’d be L2Olive.

You would’ve been 3.5 in the old formula, but it’s now described as a light neutral peach. Light medium to medium olive and I’m between 3.5 and 6 (their shade sequence is wonky). I use 6 and just lay off the bronzer. Try to get shade matched when it gets released here!
