Drugstore powders with a yellow undertone?

Hello!

I've been on the search for a drugstore powder to set my foundation with. I'm an NC42 with golden olive undertones, and it's been so difficult to find a powder with a yellow/golden undertone. The closest I've found is Maybelline Matte and Poreless Pressed Powder in Golden Caramel, but unfortunately it oxidizes a shade too dark on me as I wear it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!!

The NYX HD powder in shade Banana is perfect for me, its a great powder and I'm NC45 with golden undertones, but I use it just for my under eyes. It might be a bit much for the entire face.

The Hard Candy BakeBrighten&Set loose finishing powder! It definitely delivers on the yellow, but it's definitely more of a banana powder to use while highlighting/chiseling the contour rather than an all-over face powder.

I have no idea if this was helpful LOL but good luck OP, hope your search ends with a successful product!

What about a translucent powder? Not sure you need a setting powder with a color unless you need more coverage.
