Gorgeous colors for olive skin tones...Both look very nice on olive, neutral/warm skin tones! * Product was received as part of an educational promotion- this is my honest review....The shade range is super limited and very “classic” no real berries pr mauvy nudes that would work across different skin tones.

It’s not a nude for me, but it’s probably a great nude for medium skin tones.
