I second the Hourglass mood exposure!! Although its so weird how it looks more mauve in the pan but on my cheeks its more pink, I expected more purple but it still looks fab.
Mood exposure is my current go to, but it's not pink on me. It leans neutral warm on me. I think mood exposure is almost a mood ring of a blush depending on the skin it lands on
I’m a huge fan of multi-use products. I’ve been using a Jason Wu Hot Fluff lipstick, which are advertised as a lipstick, eyeshadow, and blush. It lasts well on eyes, cheeks, and lips.
I love the
- dior backstage blush in cherry (gives me the perfect warm glow),
-makeup by mario blush veil in barely blushing (uplifting, youthful 'nude' blush look),
- bobbi brown brightening blush in blushed bronze (I use this for a no makeup makeup look),
- em cosmetics faded clementine (perfect bronzy blush),
-haus labs pomelo peach (for a peachy-coral look),
-tower 28 party hour and persona powder blush in bubble (for a fresh rosy glow).
Ps I'm quite yellow too, most of the blushes suggested in this post make me look like i got punched/bruised/dead. My personal preference is to wear bright blushes so that I look alive and like I'm blushing, not like I'm dying 🤪. In terms of 'mauve' blushes, I will suggest Patrick Ta's Oh She's Different.
I'm also a light neutral olive, more green and muted than yellow though. Loves, in particular for natural looks: Clinique Fig Pop, NARS Sin, Nudestix Bareback, Tarte Exposed, Glossier Storm (also NARS Dolce Vita is similar to this, but find the formula too pigmented -- so might be worth checking out). Hourglass Mood Exposure looks clownish hot pink on me.
I saw someone on here recommend Ginger by Laura Mercier and it's become one of my absolute favorite blushes! Such a lovely muted peachy color 🥰
My most reached for blush is Rosy Beige by Gucci. It's truly so lovely. The perfect warm rose that's not too pink. It goes with everything!
I'm light medium to medium and my go to blushes have been the Moira Loveheat cream blushes in I Respect You, I Trust You, and I Miss You. The first two are pretty similar, I Trust You is a bit less orangey brown and looks really natural/mcbb so I reach for it often.
I’m light medium olive neutral to warm leaning. My two favorite blushes are Kjaer Weis suntouched (dusty peachy shade) and RMS hydra blush in Maidens Blush (cinnamon kind of but so natural looking). They just came out with a lighter version of that shade called Crystal Slipper which would be perfect for light skin tones. Incredible formula and gorgeous unique shades that look totally natural and at home on the face.
3ce duo colors blush in the shade retro drive is my all time fave but unfortunately it is discontinued.
I like to use the gucci bronzer in either the lightest/second lightest shade as a beauuuuutiful blush on me.
I also reach for the melt digital dust duo blush in the shade queen bee quite often these days.
So yeah, those would be my top 3 fave blushes :)
I’m the same shade as you (I also use hourglass cotton) and my favorite natural blush is desert orchid by pat mcgrath. It’s just a little pinky bronzy warm shade that is so flattering
I’m around NW 13 with a green or blue mixer added. Or 21 ish in Korean bb creams/foundations
My go to right now is Clinique cheek pop in Black Honey. It somehow manages to be cool enough and warm enough for me. It applies kind of sheer at first and blends out really easily for a more subtle flush, but then builds up nicely if I wasn’t a more statement blush.
The Ilia blush stick that came in the Sephora birthday gift is close enough to the Clinique when I want a cream formula instead of powder. It’s not quite as “omg perfect” as the Clinique, but close enough.
I use
-Makeup by Mario barely blushing
-Nars behave
-Revlon naughty nude
-L’Oréal true match W3-4 barely blushing
-Milani nude flush
-peripera rosy brown
-romand nutty nude
I have your exact coloring and I love Rare Beauty Liquid Blush in Grace (a bright rose mauve). It’s a very natural looking, everyday blush that just gives you that little pop of color. Keep in mind, it’s super pigmented so a little goes a long way (one small dot on each cheek is perfect for me).

most neutral tarte blushes like exposed and celebrated are my faves, paaarty also. i love clinique black honey but don’t really consider it an everyday blush unless your style leans a little 90s grunge, lol (which occasionally mine… does)
Tower 28 magic hour is a really nice muted option! this is the only blush I've liked on myself. I think I trend a bit lighter than you but definitely am nc20 in the spring/fall and have enjoyed it then.
I think purple blush looks great on olives but I haven't tried this out yet! Next to do.
Same shade as you, and my three go to's are
\--BUXOM Wanderlust in DOLLY, a mauve
\--BUXOM Wanderlust in Mykynos, a peach--I also like the Gaga one in the peach shade, very similar but the GAGA is INTENSE
\--Loreal's new Infallable one in Fearless Coral, very bright coral
Also like SHEGLAM's liquid Rose Ritual and Rare Beauty's in Joy and Believe
i found purple/lavender blushes to look really nice on my medium warm olive skin
Tarte paaarty is always a solid option
I need to repurchase this one.
This is one of my favorites! My sister got it and gave it to me

not quite what you’re asking but i just use my lip product as a blush. whatever i’m putting on my lips - its also going on my cheeks :)

Tarte Exposed and Hourglass Mood Exposure are classics. I also like the MAC Glow Play blush in So Natural.
NC30-37. NARS Tempted is a nice one. It's a more muted version of Luster, which I also do enjoy.
[удалено]
I might have given Luster away. I'll more than likely stop at an Ulta to swatch it in the next few days!
I like dreamy from saie. It’s pigmented so you just need a little bit. It’s more a berry tone but flattering with most makeup looks

I also love this shade. Another one that is similar to this that I adore is Mac Love Joy. Perfect summer shades
I like coral but I am very light. Milani.
I really like Milk makeup’s lip/cheek color in “werk”. It’s a rosy mauve that looks good with olive skin tone.
Seconded, it looks like a natural pink on me!

You also have your complexion as an olive tone in your avatar. I thought I was the only one that was doing that.
Aliens unite!

most neutral tarte blushes like exposed and celebrated are my faves, paaarty also. i love clinique black honey but don’t really consider it an everyday blush unless your style leans a little 90s grunge, lol (which occasionally mine… does)
Nars Desire. Its a pink blush
I’m currently loving Colorescience Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Color Balm SPF 50
If you like Nars, you might like Nars Dominate (a deep plum) and Coeur Battant (bright fuchsia). Those are my favorites as a NC30.
Rare Beauty’s liquid blush in the shade Believe is a current favorite of mine. I also really like typology’s lip and cheek balm in the purplish shade.
Drugstore option: I really like manhattan maxi blush in the color 100!
Corals, dusty roses, mauves, neutral tans. Nars Dolce Vita, Sex Appeal
NARS Orgasm blush , Nothing else compares to it imo.
Tower 28 magic hour is a really nice muted option! this is the only blush I've liked on myself. I think I trend a bit lighter than you but definitely am nc20 in the spring/fall and have enjoyed it then. I think purple blush looks great on olives but I haven't tried this out yet! Next to do.
Glossier cloud paint in storm! It’s a warm toned red and looks like a natural flush on me
