The naked skin foundation is my holy grail gives off a medium coverage, very buildable, but not cakey, if your on a budget then Milani 3 in 1 best foundation I ever tried from the drugstore

Out of those foundations I've only tried Mac studio fix fluid! I'm normal to dry also and it worked better for me to apply it with a beauty blender. I didn't really like the way it looked with a brush. It's pretty great coverage! I would still use concealer over any imperfections though.

Omg also has anyone ever told you you look like Sasha Pieterse from pretty little liars?! You are gorgeous you look like her twin, lol.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid is my personal favorite MAC also has the Pro Longwear Nourishing waterproof foundation which gives a little more coverage and has a more satin finish (studio fix is pretty much semi-matte) and is VERY long lasting

I find that the Mac studio fix is long lasting, but I personally siding like it on my skin, I found that no matter how many different ways I applied it it still felt really heavy and it also make me breakout really bad, and I agree with Dana E that you really look like Sasha Pieterse!

If you are looking for full coverage, the NARS Sheer Glow would not give you the coverage level you are looking for. I have not tried the Marc Jacobs, so I cannot speak to the efficacy of that particular product. The Too Faced Born This Way is a very nice foundation, and it would work for your skin type, and desired coverage level. Will you get 10+ hours of wear out if without a touch up? That is easily debatable; however, it is a nice wearing foundation. The one thing I do not like about the Too Faced Born This way...It can go mask like on the skin very easily if you are not careful. With this foundation it is best to build in very light layers.

I am with Aurora on the MAC Studio Fix. I love this foundation; it's probably one of my favorite personal use foundations. It's a more medium coverage foundation that can be very easily built up if more coverage is needed. This foundation, like the Too Faced Born This Way can go mask like quickly; however, if you build in light layers, you should have no problem. I have never had a problem with this foundation on combo dry skin before, but just make sure you properly prep your skin if you are a tad dry. If you are on the more significant side of dry, then I would advise against the use of this foundation. I don't know Aurora, it seems like you and I are the only ones that still have love for the MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation around BL anymore.

In terms of wear time, out of all the aforementioned foundations, I would agree with Aurora again on the MAC Prolong Wear Nourishing Waterproof foundation. This foundation like the Studio Fix will work with your skin type, but just like with the Studio Fix Fluid, if you are more on the significant side of dry, I would avoid this one as well. Combo/dry, yes... just make sure you prep properly. This foundation is tenacious. Is it waterproof? No, but it's darn near close. It's a very lightweight, extremely long wearing foundation that will give you medium coverage straight from the tube. This foundation can also be built up quite easily, but do so after you have given the foundation a few minutes to dry down a bit, then apply another light layer if need be. Of all the MAC foundations, (besides my favorite Studio Fix Fluid), this foundation is a stand up winner. You'll get the coverage and durability you seek with the MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof.  :)

I think you should prefer for the colors that match your skin tone and perfectly blend with your skin

@Jacqueline, I know right? It's crazy cause it's an amazing foundation. I mean, I try other ones here and there but I always end up going back to it and I'm so surprised how some people seem to really dislike it lol I've got nothing but love for it
