Hello girls! I am having such a bad time picking out foundations because I don't have a good grasp as to what am skin tone is. Could you all please help? I'm hoping that a fresh set of eyes will offer unbiased suggestions. This is my face in natural light (in all its breakout glory haha!)

You look neutral in that lighting.

It can be a little hard to tell since darker hair tends to make skin look lighter in photos but from from I can tell you're light-light/medium.
From what I see, you could be anywhere from an NC20-30 in MAC.
Keep in mind that a lot of people's faces are lighter then their neck and rest of the body so really try to match the rest of your body.
I think NC25 would be a pretty good match.
I think most Asians I know are majorly in the NC25-35 range.

And from other pics on your profile I'd say you're neutral with a tad bit of yellow

But, I took a look at your other pics, and like most people your face is lighter than your body. Your neck looks like it's leaning warm. So your foundation should match your neck not your face. You don't want a floating pale face on a tanned body.
