Help?! Warm or cool undertone, pink or yellow?

I've been trying to find my undertone for so long, and normally I wouldn't be caught dead without makeup but I'd rather be tormented by posting a rather disgusting picture then walk around orange or pink. My skin burn easy, I scar easily. I am always red, not to mention due to needing an operation I am loosing weight and therefor eating very healthy and as my body is going through a cleanse my face is full of imperfections. A couple of years ago I walked into a MAC store and asked for a foundation that fit my skintone, she didn't really look at me that much and I already had makeup on (darker then I should have use) so she ended up giving me MAC NC20, sometimes that makes me feel rather yellow in direct light and other times I don't notice. I'd also like to figure out what MAC foundation is better for my skintone? The foundation finder says NC15 but I've heard people say it is too pale.

I've sort of found myself fitting into a bit of both but I do not think I have a natural skintone. My veins are blue, my hair is natural dark, my eyes are brown with lots of green and some blue in them, as stated I burn easily and never tan. I've been told I look good in bright pink or navy blue.

will post my picture if someone reply.

What's your skintype (dry, combination, oily)? What MAC foundation were you matched to (I'm guessing Studio Fix Fluid)? How much coverage do you want? What kind of finish do you want? These details are important as well as colour.

I have a combination, oily t zone and a bit dry cheeks and I was matched with studio fix powder NC20. As for coverage I have some redness, some pores I'd like to cover up and some red scars I'd like to cover so full cover, preferably matte.

I recently walked into a makeup store and asked, I was told I have pink undertones which matches what i've read up on.
