Enjoy a natural mineral base that is a gorgeous true medium olive that is slightly neutral yet leans toward cool and works wonderfully for women with Mediterranean and Latin heritage that are fairer to medium in olive skin tone, yet have a soft brownish pink beige to their undertone. This mineral makeup olive shade helps correct yellow and sallow skin tones and is opposite of our HANNAH shade. It can be lightened with BIANCA if too dark or darkened with ADRIANA when needing more richness in depth as seasons change.

I've used BareMinerals for years, since back in the day when you could only purchase it on line. Sterling Minerals is so much better. Goes on smoother, stays in place, natural appearance and makes my skin feel so much better. Never want to be without.
I believe I've tried most of the mineral foundations but all of them irritated or dried my skin. I have rosacea and stopped using any foundation till I found Sterling Minerals. As I live in Germany and with shipping costs and customs clearance I have to pay a lot of money, I was not sure if I should order it. But it was the best decision ever. First time that the color really fit and that my skin looks healthy. No itches, no irritation and no spots after few hours. I'm also for few days on a sugar and dairy diet and am using just oil and the foundation, so my skin really improves!
I am, first and foremost, so appreciative of the attention the owner, Katherine, gave in helping me find the right formula and color. I sent her a picture and, to my surprise, she noticed a slight olive tone to my skin. With her assistance, Viviana ended up being a great color that I would never have guessed was my color on my own. It tones down the redness I have, while blending with my neck and chest. I love the weightless feel of this foundation that gives great natural-looking coverage, without the cakiness I've experienced with so many others.
I finally found the perfect shade for my skin after trying many different brands and types of foundations. I also like the smooth look it gives my skin..not too shiny and it's not cakey at all.
I just received my samples of your foundation. You had suggested Viviana and Hannah. Tried Viviana (Dewy) this morning using the dry method and it just looks like my skin but better. Going to try Hannah tomorrow, although it appears to be darker. I got all samples in both the Dewy and the Velvet. I also ordered Amara based upon the description on website but it looks way too gold/yellow for me, but I will try it also. Also bought a sample of the Satin Rose Mineral Veil. Great makeup so far.
For years (40 to be exact I am 62) I struggled with finding a foundation with the correct undertone. I have been told I am "warm", "golden", or "olive". Yet, in color analysis, I look sick and sallow in "warm" colored clothing, namely browns, oranges, greens, etc.. My best colors in clothing are berries, fushia, navy, magenta, blue purples and blue greens, the cooler jewel tones. Most foundations look too orange, too red, too pink, too yellow or just plain chalky.
I am of Italian ancestry and would consider myself on the lighter side of olive. Enter the Sterling Mineral shade "Viviana", a unique neutral to olive tone for those of us with a tad of pinky brown as an undertone. For me it is a perfect match and my complexion never looked so uniform and vibrant. Viviana tones down the sallower areas on my face, bringing out the slightly pink undertone I had when I was younger while still leaning olive. Amazingly, I don't look too pink or too "green". I look rested and my complexion has life to it again. Against my complexion, even the undertones in my grey hair look more flattering!
