Ok so I have tried so many powders, but I have to admit I have never tried the stay matte powder because I can never find it in my shade, I am a NC44 nc45 in Mac so you guys know where I can find my shade.

If you're referring to the Rimmel Stay Matte powder you won't find it your shade. I'm in the same shade family as you...NC44/NC45 and I bought every single shade made just out of curiosity. Epic, epic fail. Tried various brushes to blend in...no dice. It left a nasty looking cast to my skin. And after a week of experimenting my skin said it wasn't digging something in the powders and I broke out. Not reading the labels I learned it contained mineral oil and my skin hates mineral oil. :(

It's the same with the neutrogena.

I learned early on that Neutrogena doesn't cater to our skintone and never will. Same with Almay if you ever looked into that cosmetic line. Have you looked into Bobbi Brown? Her line has yellow based foundations. As far as foundation goes I have Giorgio Armani Maestro in #10. Its a pricey but for me worth every penny. A dupe for it can be found from Loreal. Its very runny but once applied and set it drys to powder finish. Medium coverage and I with both GA and Loreals version no need to set with powder (if you do I suggest just trying in t-zone).

I got Bobbi brown samples and I cannot stand the smell it is horrible. But I own like 25 different foundations Lancôme, channel, Estée Lauder makeup forever Mac. Clinique, and what ever else. The thing is when I find out something is good I want it so bad

You are not alone. I love make-up and skincare products something fierce. The Bobbi Brown samples...you received the new re-formulation. I forgot about that. I had to stop using it after she made the switch ingredients wise...she added lavender oil and I hate that stuff. Major irritant for most skin-types. Have you checked out Kevin Aucoin foundation line?

Maryam, have you tried Makeup Forever Matte powder foundations? Pricey, but the finish is beautiful. They have a nice color selection, too!
