Foundations with good yellow-toned shade range?

Anyone know of a foundation that I can get with strong yellow undertones? I can never seem to find a foundation that runs warm enough for me.. sometimes I feel like a freaking Simpson lol. So far the best I've found is the L'oreal True Match (which isnt even perfect, and I have to do a lot of color mixing to try and get it decent everyday) and the Smashbox studio skin. I'm just worried about color right now, not so much formula. Thanks xx

I was going to suggest loreal also, however you already use that so another foundation that comes to my mind is the Estée Lauder double wear, their warm shades run fairly yellow (or they did to me when I was swatching them) haha. :) I usually lean towards warm or neutral foundations and actually had to go for cool in the Estée Lauder because the paler warm shades were super yellow on me.

I really like the Bourjois range for yellow tones, I'm very yellow toned and that's one of the only ones I can find. I use the 123 Perfect CC cream but it's definitely more of a foundation and has incredible, build able coverage. I like Clarins too for yellow toned foundations.

I believe MUFE and Urban Decay run pretty yellow. NARS is definitely very yellow.

NARS has a lot of yellow toned foundations- you might want to also check out Bobbi Brown. Almost all of her foundations run yellow as her philosophy is that majority of people have yellow under tones and that yellow is more flattering than pink.

Indeed, MUFE and NARS runs yellow :)

Maybe if you find a shade close to your skin tone, you could add a drop of Cover GX custom drops to adjust it.

Mufe, nars, Giorgio armani, graftobian, ysl, too faced, and benefit come to mind as leaning warm in general in their lines.

I have to use foundation that's quite yellow and I've used a lot.

You need to know if you're golden or golden olive. This is a big factor because I thought I was just yellow and most products weren't yellow enough, they'd end up either looking pink or orange.
With that being said I know Loreal runs fairly yellow but it depends because a couple of shades are more beige.
My Loreal shade W4 Natural beige is more yellow than MUFE HD Y335 (127) and Y365 (123) so I personally wouldn't recommend MUFE.

If your skin is just golden I'd go for brands like Bobbi brown, NARS, COVERFX and MAC. MACs older foundations like studio fix fluid, studio fix powder foundation, studio tech and face & body. It should be noted the C shades (when available to a foundation) are definitely more yellow compared to the NC range.
C with a single digit(C2, C3, C4 etc) is very golden
C half shades(C4.5, C5.5 etc) are more peach
C shades with double digits(C30, C35, C40 etc) are golden olive

If you're golden olive you'll find the colors can look MORE yellow compared to just a yellow toned foundation due to the slight green tone

With that being said I quite like Kryolan Dermacolor, SOME MAC shades (C##) and COVERFX.
The COVERFX shades in "G" are yellow while their "G+" range is more yellow and has some green like MAC C## range but COVERFX has this range in more formulations

Elf has a good foundation but it gives a bit of flash back in photos.
