Looking to try some Mac liquid foundations but unsure of shade wise and which one to buy.
I would say I have more combination skin but it's more on the oily side
I was looking at Mac Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 because it gives a matte finish which I really like but if you guys have other faves please share!
Ps any idea of what shade I would be? 
Thanks😊

I've used Born This Way by Too Faced in Pearl and Naked Skin by UD in shade 2.0
Those are the main ones I've used somewhat recently

Nc15 was too dark for me, I'd ask them to swatch them for you so you can compare them.

I was thinking you're closer to an NC15.
Keep in mind that Studio Fix Fluid runs darker in the MAC range so even though NC15 is normally the lightest shade, it isn't in that particular foundation. I believe that had to add one or two lighter shades because NC and NW15 weren't fair enough for some people so they added NW13 and W10 which are quite fair but even W10 is just a smidgen too dark for some.

So, I would try and get matched. That particular foundation tends to oxidize on a good amount of people too.

The initial color isn't always the color it'll stay so online swatches aren't always that helpful cause most the time the swatches are still wet.

If you're more combination and aren't all that oily, I think the Studio Tech as well as the Studio Sculpt are quite good or those with combination skin.

If you're more normal to kind of oily, the studio fix powder is pretty good as is the pro Longwear (original) although I didn't like the original formula so much.

If you're more normal to straight up oily than the Studio Fix Fluid and the Prolongwear nourishing waterproof work very well and hold up good even on my very oily skin.
When I say "I'm oily" I mean, I'm OILY lol it's not just a small amount in my T-zone it's like all over my face and foundations that say they're for "combination oily skin" slide right off about 90% of the time.
