I've used it before a few years back (my skin was way more oily)
but I want to try it again since my skin isn't as oily. I was quite tan when I first used it but I'd like to know around what color I'd be now. Don't really have a place in my city to test it out.

I'm back to my normal medium skin color with yellow/olive tones.
MAC Studio Fix Fluid=NC30
MAC Studio Fix Powder=C35
Nars sheer glow=Stromboli
MUFE Ultra HD liquid=123=y365

I can pull off a straight up yellow (no green) undertone foundation if its a little lighter otherwise it ends up looking orange or too yellow.

I can't really wear a yellow/peach undertone cause they end up looking noticeably pink compared to the rest of me.

@sam are. I've tried it and the color seems close but I've read it's closer to NC40 so I was wanting to find other opinions plus one used that site before and they've been a bit off

Aurora what shade are you in Mac Pro long wear Nourishing Waterproof foundation? I Also use Nars in shade Stromboli and when using Estee lauder double wear I'm in the shade Tawny but when I'm tanned I use Spice Sand. :)

I did a lot of clicking around between Findation.com and the Color IQ matcher on Sephora's website and I was just about to suggest Tawny (:

That's too funny Alexis Lol well at least you got it right. :)
By the way that comment on that rainbow highlighter thread you mentioned what your aunt said was hilarious. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.

@Alma, in the pro longwear nourishing waterproof I'm the shade NC35 although it's a bit orange on me so I don't really wear it as much. :)

Hmm, Tawny seems to be the closest I'll definitely have to order that shade, thanks everyone! :)

In Mac PL longwear Nourishing Waterproof foundation I'm in shade NW 35.
Hope it all work's out. :)
I have a question are you an aspiring makeup artist? I'm surprised you hadn't known the shade range on EL.
