Youngblood BeyondBlur Skin Perfecting Foundation MW4 30ml

Liquid foundation with 70% skincare ingredients for medium skin with a golden olive undertone

Medium skin with a warm undertone plus a distinct golden olive nuance is a profile that is overlooked in many foundation ranges. Standard warm medium shades lack the olive-green component that is so characteristic of this skin tone, resulting in a foundation that looks too golden or even orange. The youngblood beyondblur skin perfecting foundation MW4 was developed precisely for this profile: a medium shade with a warm undertone plus a distinct golden olive nuance that respects the olive-green base of the skin instead of neutralizing it or making it look orange.

This youngblood beyondblur foundation MW4 combines the buildable full coverage of the BeyondBlur range with a formula consisting of 70% skincare ingredients. Hyaluronic acid, Bio-Peptides, Super Duo Rice & Tapioca Powder, and the exclusive REMTrio® Complex actively work during wear to hydrate, strengthen, and revitalize the skin. The result is a luminous soft-matte finish that lasts up to 12 hours, is water-resistant and transfer-proof, without drying out the skin underneath or feeling heavy and constricting.

Color: a medium shade with a warm undertone and a distinct golden olive nuance, ideal for medium skin with an olive-green or warm, tanned base.

Active ingredients

The youngblood skin perfecting foundation MW4 owes its performance to a combination of four active skincare complexes, each serving a specific purpose:

Super Duo Rice & Tapioca Powder: This ingredient duo blurs the appearance of fine lines and imperfections and balances excess sebum for the characteristic filter-like finish of the youngblood beyondblur skin perfecting foundation MW4. Rice powder absorbs excess shine in the T-zone without drying out the rest of the face, while tapioca powder provides a velvety finish.

Hyaluronic acid: Boosts skin hydration and helps maintain moisture balance throughout the day. Although the foundation provides a matte finish, the skin underneath remains comfortable and moisturized — a balance that is especially important for olive-toned medium skin, as the wrong formulas can quickly make this skin look ashy or dry.

Bio-Peptides: These peptides help improve the visible firmness and strength of the skin, resulting in a lifted and defined finish. With prolonged use, they contribute to a refined skin texture that the youngblood foundation beyond blur MW4 adheres to optimally.

REMTrio® Complex: An exclusive blend of Magnesium PCA and Blue and White Lotus extracts. This complex energizes tired skin, calms signs of stress, improves elasticity, and stimulates cell renewal — creating a subtle Botox-like effect over time.

How to use it

1. Cleanse the face thoroughly and apply your usual skincare routine through moisturizer, then allow it to absorb completely
2. Optional: use a primer for extra staying power or a smoother base
3. Pump 1 to 2 doses of product onto the back of your hand or directly onto the YB16 Skin Perfecting Foundation Luxe Brush — the brush officially recommended by Youngblood for this foundation
4. Start in the center of the face and work outward with buffing and sweeping motions — the brush is specially designed for this application technique
5. Build coverage where needed by applying a second thin layer to problem areas
6. In the morning, always finish with sunscreen as the final step

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between MW4 and MW3?

Both shades fall within the medium range with a warm undertone, but MW3 has a clean, pure warm undertone without an olive component, while the youngblood beyondblur foundation MW4 has a distinct golden olive nuance. If you notice a subtle olive-green or warm olive nuance in your skin alongside its warmth, MW4 is generally the right choice. If the olive component is absent and you only recognize a pure golden warmth, MW3 is a better match. When in doubt, we recommend swatching along the jawline in daylight.

How can I tell whether I have an olive undertone with medium skin?

An olive-green undertone becomes visible when you look in the mirror in daylight without makeup and pay attention to the nuance around the cheeks and jawline — if your skin has a subtle greenish or warm olive undertone in addition to medium depth and warmth, you fall within the olive range. Customers with this undertone often notice that standard warm beige or golden foundations look “yellow” or patchy on the skin. The youngblood skin perfecting foundation MW4 is specifically formulated for this profile, allowing the olive nuance to remain visible rather than being neutralized.

Does MW4 work on skin with melasma or hyperpigmentation?

Yes, the youngblood foundation beyond blur MW4 provides strong coverage for melasma, hyperpigmentation, and post-inflammatory discoloration, which are commonly found on warm olive-toned skin, thanks to its buildable full coverage. For optimal coverage, we recommend first spot-treating blemishes with a concealer that corrects the undertone (orange or peach for brown spots on warm olive skin), then building up the foundation in thin layers for an even result.
