Source: HiveTried, https://hivetried.com/beauty/concealer/for-olive-skin/
Category: Beauty > Concealer. Updated 2026-10-09. Based on 212 counted first-hand reports from Ulta and Sephora shopper reviews, Sep 2009 to Sep 2026.

**Question:** Which concealer works for olive skin?

**Short answer:** NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer has the best record for olive skin, with 31 of 31 shoppers saying a shade matched them. It has no Amazon listing we could confirm, so the best pick sold on Amazon is Tarte Shape Tape Concealer, listed by the brand or Amazon itself, though its record rests on a smaller group. Each record counts just shoppers who said they have olive skin.

**What stands out:** Six of the seven concealers have records of 83% or better. Tower 28 Swipe Serum Concealer is the exception, with 8 of 20 shoppers saying every shade they tried was off.

## Ranking (buyers who said whether it worked)

| 6 | Benefit Boi-ing Brightening Concealer | 12 of 14 | 86% | no |
| 7 | Tower 28 Swipe Serum Concealer | 12 of 20 | 60% | no |

Ranked by the lower bound of a 90% Wilson confidence interval, so a product needs a high share and enough reports to rank high. An Amazon link is shown only when at least 60% say it works.
