Can you add olive to Blur?

From looking at the swatches online I fear the tinted blur maybe too pink (is it pink?) for me. Can I add the olive base to the regular Blur if it is too white on my skin?

Yes, in theory you can tint the powders with a little bit of foundation colour base, but I'd recommend asking JenW for advice about how much to use. Using the Untinted Blur might be a better option, or of course you can tint that to match your foundation. (I've done that with Buttery Gold)

I was going through my SN stash and found an unopened sample jar of tinted blur (I found so many things I forgot I ordered...it was like Santa came a week late). I just put it on and can't believe how much it blurs/covers. I don't wear foundation, so this is perfect. It is a bit too pink for my neutral w/ hints of yellow/golden olive coloring, but wearable.
Can anyone tell me if the untinted blur blurs/covers as well as the tinted?
Thanks

You can add Olive or Yellow booster, but it should look very light. If you add enough olive or yellow to match your skintone, it will most likley go on darker than you think. (This more has to do with the pigments being heavier than the ingredients in Blur.) I recommend adding a little at a time.

Thanks Jen. I found a tinted blur sample in my SN stash and tried it on. At first I thought it was a bit too pink, but after it melted into my skin it wasn't. It is slightly dark for my pale neck so I may order a sample of the regular blur and mix them to lighten.
