What foundation to get?

I'm buying my first foundation next week, and I don't know which one to get. I don't mind about price, but I have dry skin with oily patches, a yellowish undertone with purple, green and blue veins. I am a mix between ivory and golden ivory (N1 and W1) in the L'Oreal True Match foundation. I sampled this foundation and did like it, however no matter how lightly I put it on, it was still too much coverage. I don't want a BB, CC or tinted moisturiser as I've used those.
In short, I want a light-to-medium coverage foundation which will match my skin tone. I'm in England, so we don't have Ulta or Sephora or a few US brands (however we have NYX, Smashbox, Stila, NYC, Rimmel London, Bourjois, etc). I don't really want to order online as it's a pain in the arse having to send back products, however if I can buy products/sample them instore and they're cheaper online I'll do that:) thanks girls xx

Why don't you try the L'Oreal true match lumi foundation? It's a lighter coverage and it's good for drier skin. 😊

Try Mac face and body. It will moisturize your day skin and is buildable. Plus you can always get them to put it on you and take home a sample first to see if you like it.

No.7 essentially natural foundation, it's light to medium coverage and worked well with my combination skin x

Bourjois 10 hour sleep effect or healthy mix foundations are both great and have good light yellow tones shades.
