I have so many issues with foundation it drives me nuts.
Drugstore: You can't test properly before purchasing. No sample available to try out, see if it oxidizes, matches properly or whatever.
High End: I can never freaking find someone to help match me properly and I am TERRIBLE at matching myself. It seems to be the one thing I have a huge issue with other than liquid/gel liner. It took me 3 attempts, 3 different counters and 3 different MA's to match me to my EL DW foundation.
As much as I like EL DW, it's £26 and has SPF in it. I hate SPF being in my foundation because if I go out at night and photos are taken, voila - it looks like my foundation is lighter than my skin!
I'm going off of Temptalia's Foundation Matrix in guessing I'm NC15 in MAC - not sure if I am, as when they matched me I was told NW20.
If anyone of my shade with combo/quite oily skin has any decent dupes for my shade I'd really, really appreciate the help and any info you can give me on the foundation (how long it lasts, finish, oxidizes or not etc).
Thanks
