Ladybug....it is not so much that you are Olive toned, but that you needed something to counteract a little pink where your face normally flushes. I think they call it ruddiness. I have it too, but I run a little more olive than you. And we still wear about the same mix. It really is more of a color theory trick....the slight green balances out the pink to bring you back to neutral. Does that make sense?

I wore my mix of 1 ebony to 8 ivory today. Right away I got a compliment from someone I see all the time. She has never said a word about my makeup before. Today she says your makeup looks so nice what brand do you use? I have to say that really convinced me. I didn't think anyone would really notice. My husband thought it looked nicer too, but I did make him look. So here's a picture you can tell me what you think. If I need to change anything to the mix let me know. Thanks Jen for the advice on the amount to use.

Colleen,
It looks great. I would not change a thing!

Thanks Jen I will leave it as is then. I appreciate the help and advice.

Colleen, I have to say that you look so pretty! I'm not surprised your co-worker noticed!

Colleen - You look great! I can understand why you received compliments!

[Colleen]

Thank you ladies. Your so sweet. I will definitely be placing an order for full size foundation after I try all of the formula samples I have. Tomorrow I am going to do heavy. Friday will be vegan. Today was medium.

Colleen, you look amazing! I can't wait to start mixing my samples.

Thanks jennyfae. My mix is super easy. I hope yours goes well for you. Listen to Jen she seems to have a real knack for picking colors. I hope you love the foundation too.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for quite some time and even with all the help Jen has given to others, I still can't figure out what to do for myself. I'm Chinese but don't think I have the typical yellow undertone. My veins look green and I feel like I'm more of an olive-yellow mix. I've been using EDM Olive Golden Medium (Winged Butter was definitely too yellow) and looking for more of an exact match! Should I think about getting Warm Gold and adding yellow booster? Or Buttery Gold and adding green booster? (Or am I totally off? ) Would love any suggestions!!! Also, would Tempt Tryst be a good fit?

I've added some pictures for reference:
