there are only a few foundations I have used to give for reference. I'm not much of a liquid foundation person but I own some Revlon Colorstay foundation in Sand Beige (the combination/oily formula, slightly different in color from the normal/dry formula). it looks a little dark and brown when I first put it on, but once it's blended in it looks just right. also, I have been colormatched at the MAC store as an NW20 last September, but I never bought the foundation so I forgot how it looks on me O_O
as for mineral foundation, I only have used Everyday Minerals. I use the original glo formula of Fairly Light, in the Beige family. I also sometimes use EDM's Fairly Light Neutral, in the Buff family, although it's just a tad brown for me. I own (or have owned) a bunch of EDM foundations, and when comparing the colors to my usual Fairly Light foundation, I've noticed that Ivory is too brown, Fairly Light Neutral is kinda brown, Fawn is WAY too YELLOW, Fair is too pink, Sandy Fair is too WHITE, Soft Butter Peach is too ORANGE, Multi-tasking Neutral is a tinyyyy bit brown, and Light Almond is too dark and greenish (I don't know why the hell I have it). Fairly Light seems kinda pink/peach compared to the shades I listed above. in my opinion, my skin tends to be rather pink, but maybe that's just the redness in my cheeks combined with my light skin tone O_O
so I'd like to find out what shades I'd use in Meow, Monavé, and Lumière. I noticed that Meow has a wide selection of shades so it's actually a bit overwhelming : Monavé seems to have lots of shades for medium and dark skin but not much for light skin (which I guess is ok considering that many foundations have few colors for such people), and Lumière appears to have a shade selection as wide as that of Meow.

so, umm...help.
