Re: Foundation Equivalencies
Great thread!

I have medium-dark/warm tan skin, yellow orange undertones, slight redness on center of face, combination (slightly oily, sensitive) skin...

Will update this post as I experiment with more foundations...

MAC:
-Studio Fix Fluid: unknown...I guess it would be NC45, but I haven't tried it yet
-Studio Fix: C7 (winter - in theory; will try when it's cold), C8 (summer - just bought this today 8/30; still shocked it's a perfect match, better than BB!)

Prescriptives (HG line!!):
-Virtual Matte Fresh Antelope
-All Skins MMU Level 4 Warm Medium
-Anywear Powder Foundation: Antelope

Clinique Superbalanced: Golden (#15)

Bare Minerals:
Warm Tan (perfect match last summer, haven't tried it since)
**Update 7/1/08: No longer a good match Tried the new warmer shades, I'm in between two shades, but anyways the product is WAY too freaking shimmery!

Bobbi Brown:
-Oil-free in 6.5 (I think it's called Warm Almond) *great match as of 8/4/08; would probably need #6 in winter...

Is anyone NW45 and using Milan Minerals. I'd like to know what my match would be so I can wear the powder as bronzer? Thanks!

Re: Foundation Equivalencies
Not too many matches but hoping it'll help someone out.

MAC studio Fix C35

Equivalencies:
MAC studio Fix NC35 (honestly it's pretty much interchangeable with C35)
Shiseido Stick/Fluid Foundation 040 Natural Fair Ochre
Lancome Photogenic Skin-Illuminating in Buff (4) (slightly more pink toned but lovely)
Lise Watier Teint Mousse Matifiant Foundation in Beige Beige
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation 6.5 (A tad darker, but acceptable in the summer time)

Re: Foundation Equivalencies
Hey guys, I'm not sure if this would be helpful or not. I was on Camera Ready today, and found this chart. It has the MAC foundations and their equivalent in a bunch of other industry brands...

Again, not sure if it'll be helpful, but figured I'd post anyway, so here goes:
