As far as foundation goes, I'm no expert but sometimes mixing two shades (one that's a little too light and one that's a little too dark) can help you achieve your perfect color. For blush, I would recommend definite peach shades as those look best on medium-dark skin tones (i.e. NYX's Cinnamon blush). Rose/pinky plum colors also look nice, but be sure to start off applying with a light hand and build it up as needed.

As far as eyeshadows go, bronze/gold shades are always beautiful on every skin tone. I also agree that green eyeshadow can look nice as well, same with grays and plums.

For lipsticks, it really just depends on your preference: wearable shades to Barbie pinks to Cherry reds to bright magenta to concealer nudes, there is a wide variety of lipstick shades so if you give me an idea of what sort of look you're going for as far as lipsticks are concerned, I'd be more than happy to suggest some colors!

olive tones pull off warm shades very well. pigmented corals and fuschia and hot pinks, plums, mauves, burgundy, purples, emerald and golden greens, midnight or bright cobalt blues, teals, most browns, especially warm golden brown shades, all look great on golden and olive skinned girls. these kind of colors look amazing on brown eyed girls too.

i'd stay away from all the cool toned stuff, like grays, cool taupes (some ppl can pull off browny taupes), cool blues, violet, some greens that seem more cool/grayish, violet and blue toned pinks and reds, are some types. id stay away from pastels too, they can wash people out, but it can depend on skin shade and hair color.

as for foundation, you need to make sure the makeup you get has a golden undertone to it, with no pink or orange tints. unfortunately you wont find a lot of good foundations for golden/olive skin in the drugstore (especially if youre darker than med), except for maybe revlon colorstay or l'oreal true match perhaps. so i suggest trying MAC or hitting up a sephora (makeup forever has an amazing foundation selection even tho its a bit pricey). hope this helped!

I think gold / champagne / peachy corals looks good with put it on your brow bone to highlight, in your inner eye corner to make you look more awake, open, and refreshed, or underneath the eye area to reflect light. And emerald,teal,forest greens,lavender looks nice on olive skin.
