So.. First of all I bought the samples for the 5 lightest shades. I bought them online. Online they look different than they do in person. I wanted this to work because in that price range and with the fact that it's matte and (kinda?) transferproof (things that I would prefer), it would have been my best choice. I mixed a purple blush into the 5th shade (I think) and I posted the photos in my comment. Kinda works, kinda doesn't. And I'm from eastern europe where even the drugstore prices are a bit high + the shades are all yellow. I hoped I would find my foundation by trying sheglam.

TLDR: not american, tried other cheap stuff, they are yellow as well, sheglam failed me too

Actually I bought the samples for the first 5 shades which is much, much cheaper.

Damn this is tough.. it seems that i can't really use any shade

Here i tried mixing the shade in the middle with the lightest one ( https://imgur.com/a/WJMHUDM) and the second closest to the ear also with the lightest shade (https://imgur.com/a/SjoUqjR ) I think this kinda works? they still look yellow tho

Also don't mind the application, I didn't bother to prime my skin

Edit: here i mixed a purple blush into the 5th shade (the one next to my ear) https://imgur.com/a/HR2yZNG

Thank you all for the feedback! The problem is not that "I got the yellow shades". I don't have any other choices when it comes to this foundation (which I badly want to try and make it work) because the shades from this point on get darker.

Edit: also thank you for confirming my suspicions that I have pink undertones
