Fair, yellow undertone foundation recommendations?

[stargazer89]

Hi girls! This is my first post here! I've been looking for foundation matches for me, which are kinda hard to find considering I have pale skin with yellow undertones. I'm a Porcelain on Bobbi Brown's Stick Foundation, I believe that it would be a MAC NC15 or maybe ever lighter? I'm not sure because I never wore a MAC foundation, since I have acne prone skin (I've read that MAC's breaks people out, so I didn't risk it). Anyway, can anyone help me? Thanks!

Before I give some recs, here's an important thing about MAC's foundations: while some foundations by MAC have broken people out (it's Studio Fix Fluid specifically that people have complained about regarding breakouts, IIRC), it doesn't mean they'll break out on your skin. The only way to know for sure is to try it out for yourself. Anyhoo. * NARS Sheer Glow in Siberia runs fairly yellow, despite it being touted as having neutral undertones. Sheer Matte in Siberia is more of a true neutral, IIRC. If Siberia is too light for you, the next shade down with yellow undertones is Gobi. * L'Oreal True Match in the W shades (W1 being the lightest). * I think the Boots No7 foundations run yellow? (Can't remember.) Those are the ones that come to mind immediately.

I have similar coloring you do-- quite pale, warm skin. It is a real PITA finding foundation that isn't too pink or peachy! I've had pretty good luck with Urban Decay's Naked Skin foundation in shade 1.0. It's a thin formula, but still gives pretty decent coverage. Also MAC Matchmaster in 1.0 which I believe adjusts itself to your undertone.
