Hi,
here is a colour chart for Revlon Colorstay vs MAC Studio Fix Fluid
Ivory: NW15/ NC15 lightest of the bunch
Buff: NC20 best match for fair NCs
Sand Beige: NC20-25 with somewhat neutral undertones
Nude: NC25 with peachy undertones, definitely not for pinks or true golden
Natural Beige: NW20 tends to run pink
Medium Beige: NC27 between Sand Beige and Golden Beige
Fresh Beige: NW25 with pinky undertones
Golden Beige: NC30 with truest yellow/olive undertones
Warm Golden: NW30/NC30 with somewhat neutral undertones
True Beige: NW30 with pinky undertones (for Fresh Beige in summer)
Natural Tan: NC40/NC42 more neutral than golden caramel
Early Tan: NW35 with somewhat peach undertones
Rich Tan: NW35 with pinkish undertones
Golden Caramel: NC40/NC42 more golden than natural tan
Toast: NW43/NC45 with neutral undertones
Rich Ginger: NW45 very peachy-pink
Caramel: NC45 seems to run true to color
Cappucino: NC50 slightly more peach than Caramel
Mahogany: NW50/NC55 the darkest of NWs but not extremely peachy
Mocha: NW55 seems to be very cool toned, almost grey undertone
The thing is, with MAC foundations the NC or NW before the number stands for Neutral cool or neutral warm... You really need to be colour matched at MAC because whether your skin has cool or warm undertones can make a difference when getting the perfect match. If you have warm undertones (yellowy) go for NC. If you have cool undertones to your skin (pinky) go for NW to even it up.
As you can see for each Revlon colour there can be a few MAC colours. This is because MAC's spectrum is much more wide, as opposed to Revlon who have quite dramatic colour jumps!
You can use the above as a good guide though. And dont forget you can always return it, if you are not 100% happy. :D
Are you going to try the powder or fluid? Beware once you try one thing you will be hooked :D
