Any foundation recommendations for olive skin tones?

This is a general question for anyone with olive skin tones, but for me personally, my exact match is the NARS luminous foundation in Stromboli in case anyone has recommendations for that exact shade. Cruelty free brands are preferred, but feel free to put down anything you can think of that fits. 

Re: Any foundation recommendations for olive skin tones?

I'm the same - olive skin, preference for more natural lines.  I've done really well with ERBORIAN CC Crème High Definition Radiance Face Cream Skin Perfector for daily use.  I like it because it's got SPF and it looks like it generally disappears on my olive skin.  I'm more after sun protection and evening out redness for daily use.   But really, just go in and have them measure your skin, then ask for lots of samples.  I was measured in several places on my face and they got a few different readings.  So, I did an experiment where I came to work every day with a different foundation, then asked my female (engineer) coworkers for feedback.  We all had a blast with the experiment and I ended up with a foundation that I loved.  I ended up with Make Up For Ever Y365.  My skin looks even and flawless when I use it.  Good luckExperimentation with scientific rigor!Experimentation with scientific rigor!
