I went to MAC and Sephora today and swatched a lot of foundations! I wear nc37 but I think these swatches would help you if you are anywhere from nc35 to nc42 and are trying to choose a color:
I use MAT Velvet 35 and it's too light for me (nc37). However, if I put MAC MSFN in Medium Dark on top, it becomes a little too dark for me, so powder can really change the color:
Here are swatches against a white background which really shows the undertones. NARS is very yellow while MUFE is more neutral:
Here's one more pic after they dried out and oxidized a bit:
Hope this helps someone! I always have trouble matching. FYI The guy at the MAC store told me it's better to go lighter if you're not sure-oxidation, powder, and bronzer can always darken it.

Wow! This is an extremely helpful post! Thank you so much! Ive been eyeing the MUFE HD for a while and i wasnt sure abt the 127 or 128 (Im a C4/NC37) But this really helped, especially with those pictures when theyre oxidized! Wonderful job<3
@ Jay- yay! I'm so happy to know this post helped someone out! Let me know how you like the foundation-after all that swatching, I am still deciding which one to buy!
very helpful thanks.
I've been looking all over for something like this, I had gotten barcelona today, and it just looks very dark on me, workable, but still too dark, (I am an NC37 in MSatinF) I think I will try stromboli even though the MA said it would be too yellow, but I'm asian, and...yellow..lol. Thanks, very informative!
