MAC cosmetics are a much higher standard than the body shop cosmetics (i have tried a few things from the body shop and they are not good at all)

for a very natural foundation i use the MAC select sheer liquid foundation from MAC and apply with a foundation brush and I have tried many high end brands but it's too difficult to find a perfect color match
i use NC 30 shade and it matches perfectly and my sister uses NC 40 which is a bit darker and suits her perfectly
don't buy any NW shades because those will not suit our asian skin

as for MAC being too much... yes a lot of their foundations are heavy coverage especially the creamy ones that come in the compact and studio tech was the worst of them all (looks too ashy) but those are not meant to be for an everyday look anyway

also, i have heard a lot of good things about the make up forever foundation but if you have even a little bit of dry skin it looks very patchy .... i know it works wonders for people with normal to oily skin but doesn't suit dry skin at all
