Where these numbers come from

The 4 products ranked here carry 8,676 reviews at Ulta and Sephora. We searched them for shade matching on olive skin and read the newest matching reviews, up to 40 per product and store, posted between Feb 2015 and Oct 2026.

A review counts only when the reviewer used the product themselves. We drop reviews written in exchange for a free product or a sweepstakes entry (0 on this page), and products that are no longer sold.

Ulta also shows reviews first posted on brands' own websites. They run much more positive than store reviews of the same products (across 19 products with both, 76% of brand-site reviewers said the product solved the problem, against 55% of Ulta shoppers), so we show them on product cards but never count them.

Because we searched for the problem, people who had it are overrepresented. Compare products with each other rather than reading a share as your own odds.

Skin type, skin tone and age splits use what reviewers chose on Sephora's review form (and age on Ulta's when given). We only show a split when enough reviewers fall on each side.

Amazon buttons appear only on products that most reviewers here say fix the problem (at least 60%, with enough reviews to trust it). Everything else gets no buy link.

An AI model labels each review against a fixed list of points, and we spot-check the labels before publishing. We publish counts, never the reviews themselves.

How do I pick a tinted moisturizer shade for olive skin?

Misses here were mostly shades that pulled too orange, and a few looked too yellow or peachy. Shade names and ranges change, so test shades in daylight. Where a brand offers them, look for neutral or olive-labeled shades.

With a medium skin tone, Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint had 6 of 7, and with a tan skin tone, NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 had 8 of 10. All of these are small groups, so treat them as a hint.

Beautyblender 12-Hour Always On Radiant Skin Tint and Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint have official Amazon listings, sold by the brand or by Amazon itself.
