As from the title you already know what this post is going to be about. I know I have a lot of trouble trying to find my shade in foundation, especially if I'm doing online shopping or even drugstore shopping where you don't have the option to try it out on yourself before purchase m. My first foundation was from the drugstore when I was 13 from Revlon, but I ended up not using it (that's another story for another time), so I don't really consider this as my 'first' foundation. I consider my MAC foundation that I bought when I was 18 to be my real first foundation, because that was when I really started to get in to makeup. I'm a NC 40/42 in MAC's Pro Longwear Foundation and I used that to find my colour in other brands. Here I just gathered some popular Highend brand and Drugstore brand foundation/concealer/pressed powder for anyone in the shade NC 40/42 from MAC. I would still say you should go in a store and find the exact colour when buying a Highend product.
