Regarding the MSFs, you're asking the wrong guy, I look like an oil slick with them, if you're not super oily (like me), you might get an allover glow, I've used them to highlight but overall I prefer MUFE's Shine On Powder. Usually if I do any highlighting I'll go for the bridge of the nose, on top of my cheeks, my Cupid's bow, my chin and my brow bone and sometimes a triangle shaped area below my eyes, but it's usually something you should study and experiment.
Laura Mercier has a good color selection for yellow toned skin, I haven't tried another foundation of that brand other than the tinted moisturizer. I can understand you feel awkward at trying on products at a counter and then feeling obligated to buy them, I however whenever I'm unsure of a new product, I'll choose a time of day where the counter is not like super busy and will tell straight up that I'm not buying, that I'd like to get matched and then I go out in natural daylight and give my foundation and/or concealer a test drive. If you're honest about it, I don't think the MUA at the counter is going to feel cheated, I think it's a lot worse when people pretend they're going to buy and they don't.
As long as you don't do it everyday, I don't think it's something they would mind.

Your reasoning in the foundation makes sense. I feel more tempted than ever now to seek out the Armani. Is Laura Mercier good for yellow toned skin? I know this is a bit off tangent, but I always feel difficulty in going to a makeup counter. Especially like with the last visit, the ma ended up doing a full face on me (which I was not angling for or expecting. i just went in to try the strobe/foundation on a corner of my face). She was very sweet and helpful so even though I went in thinking just to try the foundation and strobe cream and decide after wearing for a while and seeing how I liked it, I felt obligated to buy because she put so much time in me. Now I sort of regret getting it (buyers remorse) because if the Laura Mercier TM does what you say, I would rather get that and just use one product instead of 2, especially if it lasts better. Of course I would test it first.
