It is awesome and NOW would be the best time to try it as Hautelook has a lot of their cosmetics line at 50% off and they just extended the sake an extra day. HTH. I live in a dry climate and *love* their moisture foundation. Not at all cakey and feels really nice. I REALLY live their skincare line. Unfortunately, it is not part if this sale. If you are uncertain of your color cal Koh Gen Do and ask for samples, they are quite generous!

I only wear one foundation....MAC Pro Long Wear. I love it, it doesn't break me out, matches and makes my skin looks perfect, although I don't have a lot to cover. Stays on all day with not one touchup. When I find something I love, I just stick to that.

NC30 is my shade.

I love bobbi brown skin in shade 2 sand also, have you found a great match with a fuller coverage than this and can you recommend any powders to match?

I went from 2 Sand (for Summer) to Dior in Nude and I love it! The coverage is flawless. I use a translucent powder by Laura Mercier or Guerlain Meteorites for powder.

Not my holy grail but lately mixing a foundation sample I got and my tinted moisturizer and it works surprisingly well. The tinted moisturizer blends into the skin well and adds a glow while the foundation lasts longer hence the mixture is perfection. I found the foundation was too cakey and the tinted moisturizer was too slippery so this is a good find. I've kind of forgotten my shades but from what I can remember

Bare Minerals Ready foundation in Golden deep. (Thing with BM is my shade range is all over the place.)
Clinique Even Better foundation in number 10, I think it was called Golden
Bobbi Brown (skin foundation) in warm almond.

Hello. Can I ask how I should choose the shade of foundation to use? Should I use a shade higher or lower to my skintone? Thanks.

You should try the jawline of your face & go into the daylight to
see how it looks.

Try to get a sample if you can... foundations can get powdery & change
color after several hours

Now I'm using by terry eclat opulent in nude.. which I love

Thank you. I got a few sample foundations for different shades from Mirabella and will try them out on my jawline. I'll also try out some of the ones everyone here suggested if I can get samples from them.

Ellis Faas S101L Light/Fair

Armani Maestro 02

Bare Minerals R110 (not a great match but their 'neutral' is NOT neutral, it's too yellow, so I use this colour which is supposed to be for cool-tones, just a light dusting of R110 just in the T-zone over a TM for added coverage and slight added radiance)

YSL Teint Resist 2 Blonde

TMs

Armani Face Fabric 1

LM Nude

Could anyone help me, we don't have Tarte cosmetics here but looking to purchase the 12 hour amazonian clay foundation. I am a NW20 (usually neutral undertones- no pink undertone at all). Anyone know what shade would suit? fair or light? TIA :)

I'm about an NC30 - though MAC artists have given me everything from NC25-NC42, even an NW25 once. Maybe based on the below someone can get a better understanding of my skin tone:

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk 5.75
Missha Perfect Cover BB 27 or 23 (27 matches better)
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in Sand
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder in Medium Plus
Chanel Double Perfection Powder Foundation (I think they changed the name and colors) in Tender Bisque

What MAC color based on the foundation colors above would I be?
