I have green olive undertones, and my favorite blush is the orange NYX butter blush. It looks like my natural blush tone, I love it. It's definitely not red though
UGH, its so damned rare to find someone who actually UNDERSTANDS colour theory PROPERLY. Thank you for not just blindly following trends for influencer points, and showing people how to do shit PROPERLY. You're a goddess.
@@cecilialait looks like she used the one in the limited edition mini bundle. The shade is called Beloved. It’s still available at Sephora but you have to buy the bundle.
@@ceciliala Beloved! In the mini bundle :) I have it and I'm pale and DAYM I can only use a pin sized dot per cheek but it's such a pretty red toned blush. Great for fall and winter :)
The makeup artist who did the Victoria's Secret is the creator of the RMS Beauty. her makeup is truly beautiful and I love that she always features women of all ages.
Yes! Was looking for this comment. Because she also specified it was her red blue she used. I wish ppl would use that red blush instead of all these random ones
i have one of the serum lipsticks (?) in shade “monica” and the formula is very interesting!! it always feels cold when i apply even though it’s a lipstick formula and isn’t minty. “monica” is a good mid-tone red for me as a pale, cool olive because even though it’s more warm than i prefer, it still works :))
This makes so much sense! I'm a black woman with a medium-deep skin tone and warm-olive undertone and I wondered why certain bright colors look so wrong on me. One of my favorite blushes is a muted orange color and now I get why! Thank you girl 😊
To be fair, this doesn’t apply to everyone with olive skin regardless of the depth. I have neutral warm olive skin and muted products Make me look dead bc of the grayish effect being green/yellow gives my skin. I can’t use bright colors like the blush mentioned either, I have to use deep colors with a neutral to warm undertone
Compared to the Rare Beauty, the Armani looked neon red when you swatched them side-by-side. It's still astounding how much different pigment in a bottle looks different when applied to human skin.
Yes! As a pale olive girl, I love terracotta blushes or more brown toned blushes (mauve instead of pink, for example). Bright blushes or lipsticks (like most pinks and reds) make me look unwell lol
i can only do a super purple-y mauve lol 😭😭 the only blush i stay with consistently is the essence baked shimmer one (truly beautiful 🥲) and sometimes i add a tiny bit more purple blush to amp it up even more! i cannot do orchid purple blushes (like the clinique pansy pop one) because it’s too bright, but i also reallyyyy don’t like the black honey pop blush from clinique because it looks amazing in pan… but when i put it on, it looks straight up terracotta which i do not like… it’s interesting learning more about olive skintones because i never thought that we had the warm-cool spectrum too!! i’m also a pale, but cool olive, so for red lipstick as an example, i cannot do anything but one that has brown as well as purple undertones-i can imagine that if you’re warm olive, that muted purple undertones wouldn’t work, but muted orange would :))) i’d really recommend looking for bricky or more muted reds because i absolutely despised wearing red lipstick until i tried revlon’s “vampire love” last year
I love SO MUCH that you clarify that in the end it's just preference. You're giving people the tools to help understand makeup better and how best to use it but also not putting anyone down, and I think that's so important ❤
One of the ways you can tailor these types of blushes to your undertone is to mix them with your concealer or foundation. If the base product matches your skin tone properly, this will add the green and brown to subdue bright colors.
Placement matters too. Red looks best for a ‘point’ blush Kbeauty technique (just in the center of a base blush) instead of being swept from the front of your face and up to the sides.
Whether I put it in the center or the side it’s still gonna make other parts of my face pull more green cause my skin has more green in it already. It’s why on camera when I wear blue I look more orange it’s color theory!
The red one looks like sunburn on you whereas the desaturated one actually looks like a more natural blush to me. Very nice application of colour theory and clear explaination
Tbh I'm really pale too and i wear red blush (well it's my red lipstick but it's the same) and it looks pretty good, i just needed to make sure I won't put too much and that it's coolish red, not warm one because i have pink undertones
Color theory is WILD! My skin tone is a lot lighter than yours, but it’s still VERY olive-y and has a good bit of green in it, that’s why I use a terracotta colored blush, it looks so much more natural on my skin tone than straight up red blush
Do you think the Rare beauty blush in the shade Love is a good muted brick red? Love that you're sharing your knowledge. You've saved me so much time when choosing makeup for my skin ❤
As a light medium olive girl, yess! True reds make me look sick, but the darker desaturated red shades look amazing on me! My bf always says those reds were made for me
Girl, you look better without a blush, or very subtle. I love your make up, but your blush application is always like a bruise or if you'd been slapped.
Right?! It's so frustrating, like she would look soooo good with a better placement and less, even less foundation would also level up her make up look in my opinion
I’m a brown girl, but how do I figure out my undertone. I wear neutral foundation because the yellow or pink versions always looks terrible on me. Could I have a green undertone - how do I figure it out?
Oh wow.. I love your videos.. they're so eye-opening. Do brands... take color theory into consideration.. when making colors like this? Like, have a red tone maybe in one or two shades.. that you CAN use across all skin tones.. it should just depend on how much you use? Is that even a possibility? I feel like if we made more colors with less white toned fillers it could and wpuld be possible? Am I wrong? 🤔
i absolutely adore the new rare beauty blush and was wondering if you could do a makeup look with out foundation and and bronzer/ contour. I really like your style and want to try a fun makeup look with all the holidays. coming up pls
Huh this makes me think of that filter that mentioned how much contrast your face has, and how you shouldn't do hard contrast makeup if your face has soft contrast or something like that. I wonder what the really pigmented red would count as
As a pale girl who always has green concealer for redness you mixing the green with the red just blew my mind! I prefer having a neutral brown ish red ish kind of blush and you just changed the game for me!
I wonder how orange would look? Still bright but has yellow so is closer to olive?
It’s still too “bright” it’s not a matter of shade but a matter of saturation! I love desaturated orange blushes ✨
@@makeupbymonicaa that makes sense! It would be cool to see the desaturated orange
i have a cool olive undertone & orange blush looks awful on me 😭
I have green olive undertones, and my favorite blush is the orange NYX butter blush. It looks like my natural blush tone, I love it. It's definitely not red though
@@Ri-Valelf cosmetics shade bronze bombshell I use it as my example of desaturated orange blush all the time! :)

Watch kackie beauty. She goes IN DEPTHHH on this topic
That rare beauty blush looks phenomenal on you
So true
Does anyone know what the shade name is?
@@cecilialathat’s what I wanna know 😂

As an artist i 100% agree with you on this, i love giving my art a natural flush so i always desaturate and lower opacity on darker skin tones
I was gonna say something really similar!! I'm a scenic artist for theatres and I love learning color theory from new places
Yess I used to do traditional art in hs but moved into makeup after I graduated and so much of what I learned in school helps me with doing makeup
Just depends on the undertones, most dark people have warm undertones, some of us are olive, and it's rare to be true cool as a darkskin

Her name is Rose-Marie Smith. Her brand RMS is her initials.

u look so good with the rare beauty blush!!
We need a whole video on color theory
Wow this is cool! The green drops would make feel like a scientist every morning
Very true, but also, the other girl put A LOT of blush on 😅😅 if she had used less it might have been less vibrant 🥹🥹❤️
Ah this is so well done! You go girl!
I love the explaintion !!
Milani has a beautiful merlot color that looks fab in brown skin.
What product/shade is it? I’ve been wanting to try Milani blush haha
@nawalk7263 Milani cheek kiss (cream blush) color merlot moment
Such a good explanation!!
That’s why brick red blush looks amazing on brown skin!
Bro the way this all clicked when you added the green to mute the red omg
This is a great video thank you. Love it.❤❤

BROOOOOO the rare beautiful one looks insane!!!
So important..Great vid.
Omggg you cooked with this!! You always come in solid for us brown girlies ❤
When makeup tutorials feels like science lessons 😂❤
red blushes are my favourite when doing a "sick" makeup look because of how it just looks slightly off on me lol
As someone who's really pale, the red blush would make me look like a clown 😭
Tbh I'm really pale too and i wear red blush (well it's my red lipstick but it's the same) and it looks pretty good, i just needed to make sure I won't put too much and that it's coolish red, not warm one because i have pink undertones
You're a genius!!
They both look beautiful, but you're absolutely right. The desaturated version looks better. Regardless you rock everything.
No but seriously you're so intelligent!!
The red one looks like rosecea and the brick red is beautiful
Yess looks so good!
I think the issue is people are Mia quoting her. She used a specific red blush from RMS. Not just red blush. As red comes in many shades.
Not just that but she is the creator of RMS beauty and it's a blue toned red.
the elf red liquid blush is gorge too
MONICA BEING A MAKEUP SUPERHERO🫡❤️
Hope you launch your own beauty brand soon ❤❤❤
Love Colour theory! I am also a brown girl but i rock red blushes ❤️
Perfect explanation as always
Love your vids! You give so much useful information ❤ I have learnt so much. Thanks! ❤
I'd say this is more of a bright versus muted situation. The darker red is more muted
You keep me so educated on color theory
I might not have brown undertones but this is still so cool!😮😊 Color theory is awesome! Super fun Channel! ❤
As an artist I love that she’s teaching us color theory cause I was LOST

As a girl who loves pinks and reds but has a neutral brown skin, THANK YOU. The way I’m about to RUN to buy green color corrector when I get paid.
Do you think the Rare beauty blush in the shade Love is a good muted brick red? Love that you're sharing your knowledge. You've saved me so much time when choosing makeup for my skin ❤
Love is muted!!
You are doing for the Indian makeup community, what Einstein did for the world.
This is so smart!

Hi! You should review etude's dear darling watery lip and cheek tint in the shade cherry, I would love to see it on an olive undertone

Why did I think she was holding a posca marker for a second 💀
Rose marie swift is a queen
Interesting. They both look good to me. But the desaturated version does look more natural
They both look good on you. You didn’t apply 10lbs of it
absolutely amazing
Gurl you are a make up scientist at this point!
i absolutely adore the new rare beauty blush and was wondering if you could do a makeup look with out foundation and and bronzer/ contour. I really like your style and want to try a fun makeup look with all the holidays. coming up
pls
She was talking about the RMS lip to cheek in beloved, but everyone has used different red blushes in their own videos.
U put so much thought while putting on a blush 😂😂😂😂😂
The original artist uses and works for RMS Beauty. Why not try the brand out?
I would have liked to see you use the red that the original artist was talking about!
Ugh, thank you!! I have pale olive-tone skin and these tips always work on me too
Huh this makes me think of that filter that mentioned how much contrast your face has, and how you shouldn't do hard contrast makeup if your face has soft contrast or something like that. I wonder what the really pigmented red would count as
Thank you!! ♡♡
I think a dark berry/ wine blush would give that effect
Yoooooo i knew the muted ones were more for me
where’s the green pigment from
I find color theory so interesting yet understand nothing about it
I'm blindingly white, red blush would look like a sunburn on me.
Burgundy blush all the way!
yess i do this w my hair dye everytime, i always mix some opposite color to my blues or purples to make them darker and less saturated
The RB blush actually has more blue in it. A bit of blue added to red makes it less warm and less bright.
Omg I need a desaturated dusty purple blush. Mauve looks brighttt pink on me. So difficult these days.
Also..You're absolutely beautiful ❤
❤ I learn soo much from you !!!! Color theory has changed my make up game
Omw that's why I feel so pale when I wear red lipstick😂😭
you're gorgeous 🫶
hs mm ...good color match 🤔 got me doubting but it looks out so good at the end! 😮🎉
As a pale girl who always has green concealer for redness you mixing the green with the red just blew my mind! I prefer having a neutral brown ish red ish kind of blush and you just changed the game for me!
Wow genius
I gasped!!
Oh my God, thanks for reminding me
The Victoria secret woman use less blush it was just a little dap . Very subtle
Red blush was also a thing when I was in HS in the 00s😅👀
what is the name of the color of this blush? thank you!
I need to find someone my shade. I’m very neutral tan but not dark idk lol
I just hate red blush on my olive skin
