So I've finally decided to ask Santa for the highly coveted Estée Lauder Double Wear (either the light version in the tube or the glass bottle), but the web pictures are really deceiving when it comes to the shades.

Are the warm shades yellow toned, and are the cool shades pink toned? Because I believe it was Jacqueline who shared how MAC's shades (yellow = c, pink = w) are the opposite of most beauty brands (yellow = w, pink = cool), and I was wondering if Estée Lauder's Double Wear line was the same way. Nothing bothers me more than looking messed up thanks to undertones.
On the Macy's site, the warms don't look pink, yet the cools are very yellowy...but it could just be my judgement.
For reference, I am looking for a yellow undertone shade.

Why not go to a counter and get matched? Takes thirty seconds.

I'm always mismatched to the wrong tone, and wanted a basic idea of the shade I was looking for. I wanted to go in with some knowledge prior to going to the already busy counter.

I wear a MAC NC15 and the warm Estée Lauder shades work well for me, I've found that the cool shades are actually very pink in person, hopefully the picture is of some help - it helped me with choosing mine as I get matched wrong too. :)

And it seems to have cut off, top row is warm, middle is neutral, bottom is cool.

Thank you so much! I appreciate it.
I wear NC20 in the PLW concealer, but I could probably get away with NC15.
