Prescriptives has great foundations with yellow undertones. And I also really like the L'Oreal HIP foundations, but I can't really see this line working for the lighter ladies.

Has anyone heard of Black'up? Its a french brand that caters to women of color. I wonder if they carry it in the states or on the Eastcoast. I saw it in France last year- its also on the French Sephora site

I use Laura Mercier for powder foundation and I used to use liquid by Lancome. I'm asian NC40 and those matched me perfectly. I am Number 4 in the Laura, but I can't remember the Lancome.
Switched over to MAC to try it, but, I don't like it as much, it doesn't match me as well.

Just wanted to update on a few foundations I've tried that seem to be excellent for yellow/golden skintones.
* Bobbi Brown is excellent, I just wish their formulas worked for me. The oil-free felt and smelled like straight up paint from a bucket, while the stick was okay but too much for me.
* L'oreal HIP foundations - currently my HG. I love this so much!!! I am an NC45 and wear this in Cappuccino.
* Prescriptives - virtual skin is really good!
For concealers I cannot rave enough about Becca concealers. For those with olive/yellow/golden skin this is a life savior. I found a perfect match with Pecan, but I think I can wear Brioche or Maple as well.
Also, NARS concealer is pretty good, although the darkest shade was a bit too yellow and not dark enough for me.
Hope I was able to contribute!

I have loads of yellow/gold in my skin and dior foundation is my HG (if you are lighter to medium skintoned, try 200 or 300 - those are yellow based and never turn orangy on me while several other 200-300s numbers have too much peach or pink base in them).
Also BE foundation has several yellow based foundation - I originally bought medium beige, but that one is too pink - I switched over to light and even though it looks really like, it blended like a dream on my medium/tanned skin.

Try Cargo Foundation - Oil Free (they're in these cute foil packs). I'm Asian, with probably the yellowest yellow undertone
, and after searching for years for the pefect foundation, I found Cargo! I got their foundation in F 50. Check them out in Sephora.com.
Bootyliciousx, could it also be that the reason why foundation turns orangey on you is because you're acidic? I've read this somewhere, and I think I may be the same since some foundations turn darker on me after a while.

I am an NC45 and have looked at a number of foundations for yellow undertones. Here is what I can recall:
Department Store
Lancome--Teint Idole, yellow undertones but dries to an ashy finish.
Perscriptives--great selection on colors, but I would have to buy 2 bottles as I am b/w 2 colors, too expensive.
Armani--way too peach and unnatural
Laura Mercier--the website used to offer free samples (I tried this a few years ago). The foundation is very silky, but too peach as well.
Bobby Brown--very natural makeup, but honestly it is just toooo yellow. I gave away a new bottle to my mum.
Clinique--I purchased Superfit and it is wasting away in my drawer. I got a sample of Perfectly Real and am still trying it out. So far, so good.
Drug Store Brands
Revlon--Colorstay: turns ashy when it dries. I think it is b/c of the titanium dioxide (used for oily skin). A whole bottle remains in my drawer.
Maybelline--this is actually very good for darker skin (I used the Caramel). I have the Dream Matte Mouse and it is not bad for a drug store brand. It tends to be a little orange.
L'oreal HIP--Walgreens was selling this for $2 per bottle recently. I had a coupon and got one for free. It is another decent drug store brand. Not completely natural, but a good option.
All in all, I tend to return to the MAC Studio Fix foundation. I like the fact that it is dry and in compact form (easily portable) and is super easy to put on as well.
