About this deal
This is why it’s important to do a bit of investigating before committing to any foundation shade. To tell if your foundation is yellow based, test the foundation on your forearms over your veins. If the product is a match, it should effortlessly blend with your yellow undertones and cover your veins. If the product has the wrong undertones, it will clash against your veins.

The NYX Professional Stay Matte But Not Flat Foundation is one of the best foundations for olive skin with yellow undertones. Choose either the “Tan” or “Soft Sand” as these have a warmer pigment that will blend easier with yellow undertones on olive skin. Since they have a huge selection of makeup, you really need to study the skin benefits of the product you are interested in. NYX is tailored towards the masses which means what works for you doesn’t necessary work for others. The yellow based foundation that I have recommended on this blog works great (from my own experience), but you will need to test this out yourself to see if it works for you. Did you accidentally buy the wrong foundation shade? Do you want the perfect match for when you are tanned?

It created a very blue and grey cast that I highly dislike TBH.To get the right shade – make the foundation lighter or darker. This may be especially necessary at times when you are spray tanning, or in the summer months when you are outdoors more. At those times you want to have a couple of foundations on hand to mix and match to get the right shade. Always test in natural light and on a small area of your face first to ensure that your mix is right with your yellow undertones. You may wonder what the benefits are for custom mixing your foundation. The benefits of blending two colors of foundation are actually three-fold: Water/Aqua/Eau, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Caprylyl Methicone, Talc, Isododecane, Dimethicone, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Propylene Glycol, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Magnesium Sulfate, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Dimethiconol, Bis-Isobutyl PEG/PPG-10/7/Dimethicone Copolymer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Propylene Carbonate, Tin Oxide, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Phenoxyethanol.

So I believe I'm more of a neutral olive but I can get away with warm undertone foundations as long as they don't have an orange cast. So I got the MUFE chromatic mixer in blue and used it with my 210 Sandy Beige Maybelline Dewy & Smooth foundation.
