My go to shade in MAC has always been NW13.

I am extremely pale (in years past) and this one still works for me as a concealer (lights up my eyes).

I had always used the stick foundation in NW13 but really wasn't pleased I don't really know why. This shade does work for me most of the time but I am a cool tone. So porcelain with pink undertones.

 

And this is not for you because you are neutral. I will bet that can get tricky. I do have an idea for you though. If you have access to Ulta and some Sephora, you might try shade checking with the Natasha Denona concealers display. At Ulta they carry almost all of the shades... you might hit the "jackpot" and find your match in the "neutrals" section! 
I'm sure they would be happy for you to "streak" one of them on a card then you could match with a MAC foundation? Honestly, ND has the most color choices I have ever seen.

 

My shade (as I said porcelain with pink) is in their lightest rose section.. my choices so far are R1, R2 and R3. It's fizzing.

 

''My MAC purchases in the past have been a higher in a tiny bottle that you shake before using...IMO it was my best formula so far from MAC. 

I hope any of this makes sense and is of some help for you! Let me know!

There were two new releases for MAC. One is the serum foundation that gets too gooey for me as the day wore on. The other is touted as a foundation/concealer, which comes a click pen style. It’s supposed to be long-wear and waterproof. This replaced the I believe it was called futurist hydration waterproof foundation.
