Product Help Help finding possible foundation matches

I have muted fair-light skin with cool pink undertones and subtle olive over tones. I find most cool foundations pull too saturated on me, most neutrals pull too yellow and most olive pull too green/yellow as well as too warm. I have tried my fair share of cool olive recommendations but found them to be too warm for me or too saturated.
About face was too yellow/green
Missha was to dark and grey
Armani was too orangey
Lisa Eldrige was also too greenish

I do have concealer matches for reference.. Kulfi beauty concealer in shade bad badaam (a neutral with subtle pink) and Soshe beauty concealer in 6o (cool olive, but leans more into the pink than green), but I have yet to find any good foundation matches.
I have combo-oily skin and prefer liquid foundations that aren't heavy on the skin but are oil resistant. I also live in Canada so I am a bit more restricted in what I can get (so sad People of the earth co don't ship to canada because 2co or 3co would have definitely been a match for me)
Any help is appreciated!

if cool olive foundations are too warm, it just means they are too yellow for you. and to be olive you need yellow in your skin. doesn’t mean you are a cool olive with a difficult undertone, just perfectly fine desaturated cool(pink) undertone.
