Calling those with light olive skin

I'm half Asian but quite fair. My complexion is on the yellow side and I find it hard to find even tinted moisturizer which is a good colour. It's usually too pinky, or too peachy or too dark. I'm really self conscious to go to a counter.

Please recommend what you use in terms of tinted moisturizer/ bb or cc creams and brands which cater to more yellow tones.

Was about to type a whole thing about pale olives sometimes needing a neutral rather than yellow base and to recommend anything in a Buff shade from Revlon if so - but I see dontgobaconmyheart has it already covered. What she said, basically.

[quote NotquitewhatImeant]@dontgobaconmyheart thanks for the reddit suggestion, the pale olive stuff makes a lot of sense, I’ve always had a green neck and wondered why - mind blown[/quote]
Oh my goodness! Now you mention the green neck, I realise I have it too. A really pale green neck!!! I guess it's the blue veins plus yellow skin.

I have light olive skin (pale grey green
) and I use Purito Cica BB cream in #21 light beige, its truly the best foundation I've ever used, its cheap, its good for my rosacea, etc etc etc. I love it!

I have yellow undertones and find that L'Oréal, Bobbi Brown and Estée Lauder all have suitable shaded of foundation for me.
