So i`m a MAC NC 45 and i was wondering, do you guys know any good drugstore foundations that are almost or NEAR that shade? BTW: i have oily skin(like,oily. not combo. oily - like you could fry some food with it LOL)

I have very very oily skin too, and I am a NC 42ish for the most part. Due to my spending power the past few years (had a new baby), I've resorted from department store items to more drug store items.
I really like Revlon ColorStay for Combo/Oily skin. The finish is like a second skin. It hides my uneven skin tone, blemishes, acne brown scars with one coat. Since it's for combo/oily skin it dries fast, but I use a damp make up sponge (those triangle sponges from the drug store too). That helps it not set on my face too quickly.
Although I still get shiny during the day, I just blot. I haven't found anything out there that can keep my oil at bay (no primer, no foundation, no setting powder, etc.)

^ Revlon ColorStay is awesome. Make SURE you get the one that specifically states combo/oily skin, because there is also one for normal/dry and that makes my oily face SO much worse (tried it because it was a thinner formula). You'll just have to go into a drugstore and swatch! I'm in between shades so I mix two colors together.

I agree Relvon Colorstay is the best thing, but i have been grabbing the Maybelline 24 hour SuperStay and i have to say they are both tick for tack (same quality & benefits)

I'm in and around NC42 and I use Revlon Colorstay in 370/Toast. I find that the order of the colors tend to alternate from pink to yellow based. The next shade up from Toast is Rich Ginger, which if I recall correctly tends to lean a little more pink so maybe Caramel would work for you?

I am an NC45 as well. Revlon Colorstay is great, BUT it runs Just an itty bitty too dark for me. If I mix it with my NC45, it comes out nearly perfect and I can pull it off. Nearly Naked Revlon is a good match for me. Maybelline Fit Me in 320 was close. BTW, the Colorstay in the oily/combo formula is the closest to NC45. The dry/normal skin formula in Caramel is waaaay lighter.

Forgot to mention, I use Caramel in the CS oily/combo formula.

Temptalia has a foundation matrix that can list dupes based on your shade for other brands (and MAC is one of them) so I suggest giving it a look! It will give you results for MANY different brands, and you can filter out what kind of finish, coverage, and type you want! Hope this helps (:
