What do you guys bake/highlight with? I currently use Airspun in naturally neutral but I'm looking to upgrade. I need something yellow based and Laura Mercier only has whitish/translucent powder that won't work on my skin (medium/dark) and Ben Nye is always sold out of the banana powder.

Marc Jacobs Instamarc in the shade Mirage Filter has a contouring shade and a highlighting one that's yellowish and without shimmer. It's compact but so pigmented and creamy that could be used to bake :) I tried and it works well.

Quite a few brands have a yellow loose powder.
MAC set powder comes in a yellow option.
Benefit cosmetics has a yellow powder called "BluffDust" which has a nice smooth texture
But I will mention that yellow toned powders to set in general can look a bit off IMO.
I find that unless you're using it to help color-correct extra purple tones peaking through or have VERY yellow toned skin then I'd skip it. Especially the Ben Nye Banana powder because it is like a warm yellow and, when used for baking, it just looks too yellow and makes the rest of the skin look ruddy. I think it has to do with the concealer wetting the powder and making it look darker/more of a saturated true yellow. I think it works better with a light dusting to add a little warmth.
For a medium/dark complexion a peach color looks better, set powder from MAC has a peach option.
Personally, I actually think the RCMA No Color powder would work great since it won't alter the color and it's very finely milled and then if need be, put a light dusting of yellow toned powder. Just my two cents on that but the Benefit and MAC one worked well for me.
Oh, and Bobbi Brown has a good loose powder that comes in a color-correcting shades, yellow included.

I wanted to try the NYX banana powder! If anyone has used it, is it super yellow in tone or gives flash back? I don't want my under eye area to look too bright or yellow. I'm using the Laura Mercier translucent setting powder at the moment.
