Apparently, you can order the full size and if it doesn't match they take it back no questions asked. You might want to look for that thread, as it gives more information. Maybe the Prescriptives website would try to get you samples, they give them out free at the counters, so it's worth a try. HTH.

Estee Lauder Doublewear in Fresco

Clinique Superfit in Neutral

and the best setting/touch up powder for me has been Mac Studio Fix in N4

Beige1

 
Covergirl Tinted Moisturizer: light

aaaaaand

I bought my first MAC item ever today. Got fed up with NOTHING matching my skin so after I got paid (a little more than I expected--which caused this spending spree)

MAC Moistureblend Foundation in NC15. It's perfect!

Sounds like we are similar Kelli! I was tempted to get the TrueMatch awhile ago, now I know to try Alabaster if I end up trying it! See how useful these lists can be, girls?

Jenny I'm a NC20 too and I want to ask you if you find the Stila TM Light a little yellow.
 
I love this topic!

Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation: Vanilla Beige

Max Factor Pan-stik: True Beige

Prescriptives Oil Control: Fresh Vellum

*At least, it used to be -- it seems like they may have changed their colors lately, because this now seems a bit too light for me. And I haven't tanned or anything....

Estee Lauder Lucidity: Natural Linen

These are the only ones I can think of that are/were a perfect match for me. Most others are "close but no cigar" colors.
