I don't know which shades to try. I know there is the free trial kit, but I would prefer to find my match in the first try :)

I'm currently using Bare Minerals and I wear Medium Beige, but if I get any more color in my face (which I know I will be soon with summer coming up), it will be way too light for me.

Also what is a good formula for normal to oily skin that occasionally breaks out? I think I remember people telling me Intensive?

One more thing, what is a good concealer formula and shade to correspond with it?

Thanks!

LOL I'm trying to play w/ EM again after giving up on it before ;) I just love the Matte finish & the Intensive. I love my BE, but just cannot get a perfect color match. I like the Matte for oil-control, but the Intensive definitely covers more. What is your closest MAC shade right now - BE Medium Beige is such a versatile color alot of girls wear it....I know Erica & some of the others can probably be more help w/ shades as they are EM experts :)

I'm no shade expert, but you can get 3 or 4 (can't remember) shades in the trial sample so you can pick what looks closest to you. Definitely try the Intensive formula, it's great for covering breakouts and oil.

Try listing various foundation shades you use and maybe someone can suggest a close EM match for you.

When I tried finding a EM match for myself, I searched quite a few beauty boards with some of my shades from other foundations and was able to narrow it down alot.

I'm not sure about a shade since I'm much fairer than you, but I think you'd like the Intensive formula. I think the coverage is comparable to BE. I also use the Intensive concealer, but honestly the foundation covers so well I hardly need it.
