Okay, so I think my makeup skills are pretty good, but the one thing I cannot get right is finding my shade of foundation! Everything I choose is way too pink looking on my skin.. I'm pretty fair right now, I'd say around an NC20? But can anyone suggest foundations good for yellow undertones?? Or how to tell if a foundation will be yellow based??

Estée Lauder Double Wear! Their warm toned foundations have yellow undertones and you can tell because the foundation will look more yellow in the bottle rather than tan or pink.

I don't wear foundation so don't quote me on this but I know Cover fx makes yellow/warm tones foundations.

I really wanna try the Bobbi brown foundations! I just wish it was carried at a place near me so I could swatch it in store :( Has anyone heard of EX1 foundation or tried it?

Amanda Ensing on YouTube loves the EX1 foundations. On her recent 2014 Beauty Favorites video, she mentioned the foundation and where to find it :)

Sometimes I'll mix mine to get the right shade. I do have a KVD that is very yellow undertoned.

Thanks for all the suggestions! And @Alex P. from what I know it is only sold online, I found it at lookfantastic.com I actually just ordered it so hopefully I'll like it as much as everyone else!

So does the last foundation shade look yellow based? It's the smash box 15 hour wear in 2.1, and it looks really pink on me I feel.

I agree with Alex, from wrist to elbow they seem to be warm, cool, warm, warm, neutral, and neutral

I have neutral indertones and even some neutral foundation shades look a little pink on me so if you find you're having that problem then stick with warm toned foundations

I agree with the Estée Lauder foundations having yellow undertones. I found my perfect colour there and found it to be too yellow for my skin tone, had to switch to a cooler colour.
