It depends what foundation you use in MAC because they aren't always the same. Sometimes, depending on the foundation it will be lighter or darker and the undertone isn't always consistent sometimes they're a little more neutral,olive, yellow or even peach/orange (at least from what I've noticed)

If you can get samples from their website I definitely would.
$3 for shipping and $1 per sample.

I would say around KO-1, KA-1 or KA-2
The KO range is fairly neutral (peach) yellow.
KA- range is for fair to light skin with slight yellow undertones.

I don't really know my undertones 😞 I'm Asian so in general I'm warm tones but everytime I go to the department store trying to find my best match, every sales tell me different answer. The MUFE sales told me I'm closer to pink undertone but the Mac told me I'm yellow undertones,and some others even said I can pick whatever I want cause I'm quite fair.😑

Do you know what matched you better personally out of NC15, Mont Blanc and the HD115?

You could always try checking the veins on your wrists
People with mostly blue &/or purple veins generally have pink undertones.

If they're green, you're more yellow.

If they're a mix generally a neutral undertone.

I think they're mix. Than which shade should I pick up to try if I'm closer on the neutral side? Thanks for your help btw❤️

I think the Mufe ultra HD matches better.

Ahh yes you're a little more neutral with slight pink tones if the MUFE matches best. I think you'd be best for the KO or OL range.
KO-1 is a neutral shade. I'm not too sure if it's light enough but there are swatches I can attach from the Internet.
Another option is Gena Beige and the OL range which has slight pink tones.

I've used RCMA and their foundations are quite neutral with a slight undertone compared to MAC (my preference)
So even if it's labeled "pink undertone" it could still work.
I have a yellow-olive color and their most yellow range (SH) was too neutral and kind of pink on me but Since you're neutral I'm sure you'll be able to find a few colors that work for you
