I 100% agree with marilyn. Ive tried mac foundations, other drugstore foundations and thats the only one i found worked good with my skin (in also oily/combo). Though, i do like my ma studio fix fluid, its just too orangy(im inbetween nc and nw, tjeu gave me nw). The Staying power was good ans it looked flawless when applied correctly.
Foundations i hated were any of the mousse ones, they slide and cake up quickly with oily skin. And, any of the avon ones, i found they oxodized really badly and were orange.
Revlon Colourstay is my wear to work makeup but my absolute favourite foundation in the world is Base Perfect in N1 by Gorgeous Cosmetics - pretty sure its only available in Australia though because its a boutique Aussie brand. It's amazing though!
I used the almay smart shade foundation, and absolutely hated it. It leaves you feeling cake-y and just weighted down. My absolute favorite foundation though is either my Neutrogena Skin Clearing foundation or my MAC tinted moisturizer :)
