Hi beauties!

I'm having a hard time finding foundations with very yellow undertones from the drugstore. I'm currently using the L'Oreal True Match in W4 or W5 which is great, but only when paired with the L'Oreal shade W4.5 (otherwise they are still to beige-y/pink) and stores near me are no longer selling that super yellow shade.
I find that the maybelline concealers match me quite well and was wondering if their foundations were the same in colour?

And if you have any other drugstore suggestions that would be greatly appreciated! (No high-end, please, I'm in college! Haha)

Thanks in advance xoxo

Sucks that you're already using the Loreal true match, that's what I was going to suggest haha. The Loreal really is the only line I can think of in the drugstore that has a larger variety on colour range, I know the Rimmel 25 hour stay liquid foundation runs pretty yellow.

Ughh the struggle of finding yellow toned foundations! lol. have you tried the fit me foundation in 240? its one of the best yellowish I've seen in drugstore BUT its tje dry skin version that sells that one. we almost have the same skin color I would check out out! and I know you said no high end but if you ever want to spend a little more, I love how well the mac studio sculpt in (nc 42) looks on me it blends so well and has that undertone you want!(:

Thank you ladies I'll give a few of those a go!
And Adahli, I'd be MORE than happy to try high-end in the future! I'll keep that particular shade in mind when I have some extra money :)

Hi Gabriela! I myself have very yellow undertones and I've found that the maybelline dream pure bb cream has a very yellow undertone and I would also check out MAC because their foundations are actually categorized by undertone (NC meaning cool and NW meaning warm). Hope this helps!

Covergirl has a line with cool, neutral and warm undertones. I haven't tried it personally but I work at Ulta and I've seen all the colors, it looks like there are some nice yellow-toned shades in the line! I believe it's the TruBlend line.
