I would go back and get rematched and if you still don't feel like it's right, get a 2nd opinion. Ask for a sample and see how it wears in natural light and how long the actual color lasts. Some people get matched for a foundation and start wearing it, and then find that it changes color on them.

Well said.
Meekaboo has a very good point as well. Colour numbers don't necessarily translate into the different types of formulas.
I would just add that one of the things I feel is really important when checking foundations on women of colour is that you go someplace with really good lighting. Usually MAC stores and some counters have the bright studio lighting at their mirrors. Check the foundation in that light. Make sure to to a swatch near the jawline as well, to see how it works with your face as well as near your neck.
I used to match up foundations at least 30 times a day when I was an MA at MAC. They should be able to help you no problem.
Oh, and don't feel bad about getting a second opinion. More often than there should have been, someone came in to get matched up after their first match from another MA wasn't right. It happens. Good luck, hon.
