Based off of the pictures, you look like an nc50...nw45 may even work for you. it's hard to tell your true undertones in these pictures. can you get samples of each one and try them out?

i tried NC45 and NC50 and they both suited me quite well,but the make up artist said NC55,but when i went back to the store to buy powder another make up artist tested and said NC45.

which foundation do you want to get? Some of them are slightly different even when they're labeled as the same shade. You may be one of those people who's best bet is to mix foundation colors. When I use Mac's Select SPF I have to used NC45 on the center part of my face and NC50 on the outer part.
