I've tried several. I am MUFE face and body 20, mac mineralize foundation (liquid) NC25 (a tad too dark = =), Chanel teint innocence #20 cameo, and anna sui moisture powder B02.... these are the few that i have tried that i think are the more popular ones. Hope this helps. (my true shade in Mac is b/w NC 20 and 25: i wish they make a NC23 or something like that xD). Good luck finding your HG foundation girls.

MAC NC 40 MUFE HD #128 or 155
I wear MAC in NW20, all year round because I'm a little pasty girl.
I am currently using a bare minerals medium beige. I am not liking the way it lays on my face. I want to switch to lancome does anyone have an idea of whay color I would use? I am somewhat yellow toned.
You should really try the Everyday Minerals, it's a lot better that Bare Minerals and cheaper too. You can get samples of your colour scheme so you can find your colour. And their flat top brush is fantastic, does not shed a hair and is great for minerals for only something like $10!!!! And does not scrape your face off like the Bare Minerals ones!!!!!! For reference I am an NC30 in mac, used to be a 03 in Lancome, 030 in Dior, Medium kit was the one for me in Bare Minerals, and like you I am more yellow, olive toned, so from Everyday Minerals I tried their medium sample kit, which was alright but not perfect, thought it was a bit too light in colour too. So the from the olive tones, the golden medium is perfect for me, matches very close to the NC30 Studion Fix Fluid. They do different finishes too if you want a matte, semi-matte, intensive (this ones comes out a bit darker eg the golden medium in matte would be lighter than then the golden medium in intensive, it's meant to be heavier coverage, but you can still layer two, three times with the others to get medium/full coverage). Hope this helps, and enjoy!!!

I have to mix MAC NC15 AND NC20, tried the NW15, but it's wayyy to orange...I'm going to try L'Oreal True Match.
MAC NW 45
I'm an NW15 in MAC - or lighter. I can use some of the MAC foundations but others (like Studio Fix Fluid) just don't work for me because they run too dark.
clinique 05 nude
I don't know actually. I have a sample of Studio Sculpt NC20, but it's too yellow for me. So I guess I'm a NW20. Although at the moment I'm very white... so maybe I'm a NW15.

NC25
I'm very pale. It's been a long time since I wore MAC foundation, but I'd be lighter than NW15. Most brands are too dark and too yellow or orange for me. Here are some that match me pretty closely: Estee Lauder Equalizer (probably my best match ever): 1N1 Pearl Estee Lauder Double Wear: 1C1 Shell Everyday Minerals: a mix of Fair and Fair Neutral Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation: Alabaster I recently got Calvin Klein Infinite Matte in 213 Porcelain. It's just slightly yellower than I'd prefer, but it's so sheer that it blends in well enough.
Same case here, most of the lightest shade are too dark for me. Try to see Sisley's foundation Phyto Teint Eclat in "0" (Porcelaine). That's the only colored foundation I'm wearing when I'm alright to wear a colored foundation (I prefer to stick with Dior transparent foundation). Very pale and quite transparent, a bit on the yellow side but so few pigmented that it's ok.
I'm NW15 in MAC, although for some odd reason I'm NC15 in Studio Sculpt. NW15 is just too orange, and I have no idea why :-( I also use Alabaster in Bobbi Brown and Fair in Bare Minerals. Paleness FTW!
NC15 in winter NW15 in summer I am an NW but NC covers my redness very well in the winter.
Armani Luminous Silk foundation #4
When I first started wearing MAC (around 3 years ago), I was a NC42. Then I started reading makeup blogs and started to become more aware of skin damage. I'm always using sun protection, whether it be a hat, long sleeves and sunblock! Now I'm an NC30. And my skin looks so much better!
I did wear a MAC foundation back in mid90's - in NW100/NW10. It was a little darker than my natural skin. I wear LM mmu in Soft Porcelain in the warmer months, and wear strong sunscreen all over everyday of the year.
I am an NC44 in MAC Foundations, Golden in Bobbi Brown foundations and Bamboo in BECCA's Tinted Moisturizer.
