Not too many NW43 users. Actually, I am between NW43 and NW45. NW45 gives me a bronzed look as opposed to the NW43 which I'll probably use in the winter months.

Would any of the Giorgio Armani foundations work for an NC45?

According to the GA website, in the luminous silk, #8 or #9 looks like it would be a good match.

- MAC Select SPF 15, Select Tint, and Satinfinish - NW45
- Prescriptives All Skins Mineral Powder - Level 5 Warm
- NARS Oil-Free Foundation - Benares
- Prescripties Anything in Cocoa/Warm Cocoa (which is ever so slightly too yellow/light for me)
- Bobbi Brown Oil-Free Even Finish Foundation (Liquid) - Walnut
- Bobbi Brown Oil-Free Even Finish Compact (Cream to Powder) - Warm Walnut
I would LOVE to be matched in a Becca shade. Sadness. :-(

My skin is normal/slightly dry but gets a little drier in the Winter and I prefer light coverage ... MAC Select NW43, MAC MSF NW43, MAC MSF Natural Dark, MAC STUDIO MIST Dark, Classified Era Airbrush Foundation R8 , MAC Mineralized foundation loose Dark, Bare Minerals 4N Medium Dark.
I have been unable to find a good match in BB and a colorblind MA at Sephora color matched me to MUFE HD #177. It was much to dark for me.
This winter I got lighter with more yellow undertones so I switched to MAC Mineralized Satin NC45. EARTHEN GLOW minerals "Sherri-Lynn" Youthful Glow foundation works well too.
2ND UPDATE ... APRIL 4TH, 2009 ... After a 2 week vacation in the tropics, my skintone is has less yellow undertone and is darker. MY EG Sherri-Lynn is a little off so I shopped for foundation today. Bobbi Brown Moisure Rich foundation in warm almond 6.5 is very close. If I add a light dusting of Sherri-Lynn (lighter and more yellow than BB Warm Almond), the BB works. I like the feel of the BBB moisure Rich liquid. I had tried the tested the BB cream foundation some time ago. The Warm Almond in that formulation didn't work for me.
3RD UPDATE ... APRIL 21, 2009 .... The Bobbi Brown Moisure Rich in warm almond hasn't worked for me. The color is too rich. My tropic vacation color has faded. I like this foundation so much that I purchased Golden 6.0. It's looks much better than the Warm Almond.

Walnut & Chestnut more than likely, but that's from knowing the Skin Foundation line (if BB foundations are universal for all lines).

Would you happen to know what would be the equivalent of NW50 in MUFE Velvet + Matifying Foundation?

Hi, I am a nc30 for the mac sculpt foundation... I was wondering can anyone tell me what is the equivalent for the Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation with soft... I know it was already mentioned that a user on here uses fresh beige, but she said that it not really a match. So I was wondering if anyone else uses a different shade?

does anyone know the equivalent for Shu Uemura Face Architect in 964 in Bobbi Brown's Skin Foundation line?
I use Shu Uemura Face Architect 964 (perfect), also Revlon Colorstay in Sand Beige, and same tone of MUFE HD (which TOO pink for me)
