PS.compared to MAC's NC37, the new ELDW yellowy shades are still not as yellow. However, due to the yellow undertones, it matched perfectly.
This was in the number 2 range (2W2) which was a great way down from the original 5's I was matched to.
This was a bit too dark but I instantly fell in love with the glow it gave me rather than the usually ashy colour.this finished and I tried Rattan. When the new shades of foundation came in (more yellow), I tried Cashew. A pink toned foundation will always make a yellow toned person look grey unless the colour of the foundation is dark enough to mask your whole face. I realised that as I have yellowy undertones and I am quite fair, no matter what I was matched to.whether it was dark or light, they were not a good enough match for me. They looked perfect under the lights in the store, however, in natural light, it was a completely different story. Lets begin the dupes Hi,im asian, yellow undertone. After comparing several swatches, I have found a list of alternative shades for this cult-favorite foundation. In the past, I have been matched up as being shell beige.and then wheat. I have another MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation dupe to share with you The next shade up on the dupe list is NC25, a a light beige with golden peach undertones for light skin. but I really want to buy the double wear foundation I tried it and it looked so light and VERY yellow! I don't know which shade to pick and the MUA at Estee Lauder are so not helpful. I know a girl who is also a MAC NC40 and uses the Estee Lauder double wear in tawny. Extremely lightweight, the foundation gives a satin finish with buildable coverage.

I use MAC SFF in NC37 because I do not want to look too dark with bronzer & all but I am actually an NC40. MAC Studio Face and Body Foundation MAC Studio Face and Body has been around for many years and has long been adored by professional makeup artists. I sometimes use an NW powder on top to make it look less yellow.

I always avoided yellow-based foundations since I hate looking yellow even if my skin is more golden than pink but the darker NC shades aren't too yellow. I used to wear NW shades when I was lighter but when I got more tan, I noticed that the NW shades were either too pink or orange so I switched to NC shades. I have always used MAC studio fix fluid foundation and tried Estee Lauder double wear once since I heard so much great reviews about it and find that it covers and stays on alot better than MAC studio fix fluid, but I really have trouble choosing the right shade.
