These are my foundations/powders shade on some cosmetic brands, for reference, in M∙A∙C, my shade ranging from NC37 to NC42. Typical South East Asian skintone with golden-olive undertones that strangely tan/burn easily and blessed with skintone that can look ashy really, really easily when I put the wrong shade (ugh!). Oh, I have to remind you, I have a very oily skin and sweat a lot. Almost all of foundations I've tried will oxidize on me (even though apparently not on most people), therefore, this affect my color choices when I choose my foundation. I usually pick one or half shade lighter than my skin tone, so it will blend into my natural skin color after it oxidized.

FYI, I don't keep all of this foundations, so don't ask a swatch. Some are full size products that I bought, some are just a sample and the other I gave/swap/sell it already. Unlike blushes, for this one I just keep what I like or I really use.
I'll add the list if I get a new match. Promise.
