I originally went to the Mac counter in Boston store to buy a new foundation. I was recommended the lightest color of a heavy coverage collection. I was skeptical because my skin in generally pretty clear and I definitely have a little color to my skin tone. When I got home and applied this foundation all over my face and it was WAY too light. I looked pale and sickly. Anyways, I returned this to Boston Store's Mac counter and headed to Macy's Mac counter. I was helped by Meg, who did an awesome job recommending a medium coverage foundation and matching me PERFECTLY. She was very nice, helpful, and made a lot of effort to understand exactly what type of product I wanted.
