Can anyone recommend a blusher for olive skin please?

I’d like a new blusher that will give me a natural looking, healthy bit of colour. I have olive skin & brown eyes but dark under eye circles can make me look a bit sallow & washed out. I’ve always bought corally peachy toned blushers but I’m not sure these are the most flattering on me especially in winter.

I’ve been into Boots to try some but hardly any had testers available & I don’t want to waste money. Can anyone recommend anything please?

I use a cream blusher from Bobbi(y?) Brown, called pink petal I think. It looks bright, but not when I wear it. I also like Nars orgasm

I could’ve written your post, olive skin that looks sallow in winter and blue under eye circles.
I rate Nars too, mine is Torrid. Pink looks like rosacea on me.
My best tip is a bit of fake tan to take the edge of the yellowy tinge.
If you find the HG of corrector and concealer I’d love to know.

Burgundy toned blushers are nice in winter for olive skin that can go a bit green/grey.
I have one from NARS but it was in a limited edition pallette. I'm sure they have something similar still. Or Mac are bound to.

I will quite often use both a coral and a burgundy to give myself a bit of life when I'm especially swampy looking.

I meant at the same time, coral higher towards the hairline, burgundy more on cheeks
Or vice versa

I have Nars Deepthroat and Orgasm, orgasm can be a bit hit and miss on olive skin, the gold flecks make it appear warmer than it is, it’s actually quite cool toned.

Bobbi Brown it lasts forever. I have slopes and Tawney.

Deep throat by Nars is gorgeous!

My local Superdrug had a whole range of make up for olive skin. Sorry do not know the name. Not on the shelves but like a carousel.
