Depends on your undertones. If you can catch a tan or are like most everyone else, you are probably yellow. Quite pale is NC15. But from what you're saying, you sound like NC20. If you are not yellow and are pink (you burn easily, have red hair, freckles, etc) then you would be NW20. Extremely few people I ever encounter in my business are NW. So I would go for NC20. Also, powder foundation (Studio Fix) is for pretty oily skin. If you are normal, i'd go with Studio Tech. It's lovely (what I use). Great coverage. Great for everyday use. But don't use the sponge that comes with it because you will run out really fast. I use a foundation brush and it makes the foundation last way longer. You can buy it from MAC by mail order and if it's not right, they will take it back and send another.

I would guess maybe an NC 25. It's hard to choose without a picture, but that's pretty darn close to classic-natural ivory.

I can't help you with that-- sorry. I don't wear MAC.
Not to be rude, but I really do not recommend MAC foundation. I am a designer in the field of fashion and I took some classes in cosmetology prior to accepting a new job offer. Anyway, MAC foundation contains an ingredient called talc, which is one of the worst ingredients for your skin. It causes acne.

Just sharing..
