Hello, I'm trying to get the closest match of the RCMA foundation to my nc30 skin tone.
Anyone out here that has RCMA and is about the same skin tone as I am who can give me advice on which shade will work best for me?

If you are talking about the single circular foundation, you should look at the KA series, which is targeted for those with light skin tones that have slightly yellow undertones. I am an NC42 and I use SH-2 and it's a tad bit too light.

KO range is yellow/kinda peach whereas the SH range is just yellow and the darker shades are a tad green so it's kinda closer to the C++ range. I'm a C30-35 which is more yellow olive than NC30-35 and find that SH-2 matches me pretty well.
If you're more of an NC then KO range would work good too.
If you're on the lighter side of NC30 and find that... Prolongwear and studio fix fluid match then go for SH-2 because those ones match me and they run a little darker than the other NC30 shades.
If you're an NC30 in the studio fix powder or the nourishing waterproof then go for SH-1
I believe KO-3 is in between SH-1 and SH-2 I have a pic of swatches I took.

Thank you Aurora, you have been very helpful.
Do you use any primer with it?

Maura, you're a bit darker than I am so I don't think my swatches would help you. I've the lightest series of them, but if you'd like when I'm no longer in the throes of a migraine (and have some natural light), I'd be happy to swatch for you. Miss Jackie taught me to prep the skin with Embrolysse creme concentre first & that's all I've needed. It's phenomenal product, but there's a personal learning curve for application. I like getting the little palettes so I can custom match the color I need and/or do some very subtle highlighting/contouring as well.

@Maura, you're welcome :) I personally have oily skin and when I used primer it just made it slide around more, to the point that it wouldn't cover up slight redness and such.
If you're more normal to dry I think it would be okay with a primer.
If you're really oily like me (and on retinol which made product hard to not slide off) then I'd suggest putting on a thin amount of powder before the foundation.
I find it gives it a little bit of friction so it can stick on better and lasts longer for me.
I think the only setting powder that really cut down the shine was the Palladio Rice Powder. If you're very oily, of suggest that cause I tried using all kinds of powder to keep the RCMA matte and that was the only one.

RCMA will also send you samples for just $1 each! That way you can try out at least five of them and then you're sure to find your perfect match!

I don't know the shipping, I can check the website for you! I have both their palettes, I could swatch some for you if you want but I'm not sure that would get you an exact match either. I'll check on the shipping!
