Which lines do "pale yellow foundations" well?

[ame]

I am pasty and yellowy and I have been having one hell of a time finding a foundation that's super yellowy.

It was suggested I look at Bobbi Brown, MUFE and LM since Mac doesn't have a standard shade that matches me (the horror!).

Any other ideas?

Id like major coverage and liquid since I am kind of not having the luck in powder anymore and I am violently allergic to mineral makeups.

We don't have GA here, which sucks, but I canget most lines at either Sephora, Nordies, Neimans or Saks, though honestly all of them carry pretty much the same things.

Have you tried Shiseido or Lancome?

I could never find a pale yellow shade in Lancome, but how about Stila?

I use Revlon, but Alima, Amphigory, and (I think) Shu and Shiseido do pale foundations really well. Also, I used to use The Body Shop's foundations and those had paler shades with stronger undertones. HTHS

bobbi brown!

I think NARS would be good to check out if you haven't already.

Absolutely NARS. Its the only line I have ever found yellow olive enough for me. Even Shiseido was too peach for me, and all of Mercier's and Bobbi Browns too Pink. Lancome was waaaay too pink for me. NARS is the only line I've ever had a match in....

Try Senna Cosmetics Matte Finish Makeup in shade #8. THey have a 40% off special going on right now...the code is MUNYC. This foundation is my hg for pale, yellow skin. I hope you find what you're looking for!

Perscriptives has some very yellow shades. They also color match.

I checked that one out today. I used to wear Vellum in the Virtual Skin line, but it's a lot darker than I remember!

Definitely don't go with LM and MUFE - they are way too pink/peach.

Alima and EM are also great, if you're willing to go the online ordering/MMU route. Alima's Golden range looks like fricking curry powder/chartreuse powder but totally works for me.

I think she mentioned that she is violently allergic to mineral makeup.

LORAC!! They have a pale yellow (liquid) Oil-Free Neutralizer that can actually be worn as a foundation. I used to use it in the winter months when I don't have a tan. It neutralizes redness, evens everything out, and although it looks really light and yellow, it goes on beautifully and the color blends in to your natural undertones.

Deauville looked ok in store. MUFE looked pink, though I only looked at the MatVelvet+, not the HD one. I am going to pick up the HD powder this week I think. LM's Porcelain Ivory is pretty good for me color wise, though still a tiny bit pink, it would work colorwise in a pinch though her liquid foundations just do not want to stay on my skin.

Unfortunately I am very allergic to minerals. I tried Alima and had quite a reaction to it.
