Ok. Even though I liked the MAC coverage for the most part....it was just not right for me. I still became an oil slick. So I tried Shiseido and I really like their Dual Balancing. But again, oil slick. And I go in to get their matte foundation and it is being discontinued. Argh. So I went to Makeupalley and a few other sites I frequent and checked out Illuminare. I bought the Ultimate All Day foundation. It is very matte. I am using my mattifiers under this as well. I have to say that the past two days, I havent had to blot but once per day and the blotting is occurring far into the day. This is great so far. I hate to get my hopes up. Oh and the Alabaster color seems to be my dead on color choice. Yes, I am that pale.
