Are Revlon ColorStay recs for cappuccino and carmel referring to the oily or dry formulation?
I'm between a NW45 SF and NC50 SS and I've seen suggestions for Revlon ColorStay in caramel (for the NW45) and cappucino (for the NC50). But people have also commented that the color varies based on formulation-oily or dry. I'm just not sure what formulation I should try for the closest match to MAC.
All suggestions are appreciated!

Revlon cappuccino is way too red for NC50, that is more suitable for NW45 or darker. In my opinion, Caramel is best for NC50 as it has yellow undertones. I have the one for oily skin.

Thank you, Kerilove! I think I'll go with the caramel in the oily formulation and apply a bit of MAC Format over it if it's a little too yellow (this is what I have to do with NC50). Thanks, again.

UPDATE: Revlon Color Stay in caramel was a perfect match for my skin-a better match than MAC, actually. :)

Ok I'm a NC45 in Mac's concealers and studio fix fluid, C7 in the studio fix. In the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Caramel fits me perfectly. I went into Sephora today and the makeup artist matched me to #175 in MUFE HD but when I look at swatches at pics online that color seems too dark for me. When she matched me it went on just fine BUT I had already had on the fix fluid and my skin is extremely oily so it probably had already oxidized by then so now I'm thinking that could be the wrong color. Does this make sense? Me confused now  ...
