Bobbi Brown has colors that suit most "desi" skin-tones..Prescriptives, if u get the exact color is fantastic as well! Foundations I didn't really like were MAC, Clinique, Chanel.. Lancome has really nice light-reflecting foundations that are ideal for people that have blemishes :)
A fluid foundation is great for sheer/medium coverage.. if u combine it with a concealer u can achieve more heavier coverage.
A foundation stick/pan stick delivers more heavier coverage..just be sure and blend it really well with either a damp sponge or u're fingers (upwards and outwards always)
