Foundation Shade Equivalents Chart. I'm not sure if this has been posted before or if anyone knows, but I thought that this chart may be useful when trying to decide on a new brand

Though there is one catch, you have to know your Mac shade.
Just put in your info, and your shade equivalents in most makeup brands should pop up.

I was matched to nw 35 at the mac counter... only to find that it oxidized too quickly thus turning me orange. According to them, I should try NW30.

It goes up one more level to NC/NW 55 on the last dark to deep dark option. after that MAC stops at NC/NW 60 correct? ( not sure, I never used MAC like that... )

I'm not sure myself. I just saw many threads asking about different shades and thought this may be of help.
You're welcome

I think you have to know your shade in either NC or NW. Sorry
I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate, but maybe it will help those that have no direction.
