Best foundation?

Hello, looking for some advice.
Need to buy a new foundation, but not sure which will suit me best. I had a Bobbi Brown one, went to the counter, let the woman there choose the best one for me etc. and it just makes me look like Casper - v. white and shiny. I orignally opted for Bobbi Brown as lots of people recommended it to me, but I'm open to change!
I don't want to look heavily made up etc. I just want to look natural and as though I don't have lots of spots. I think I have normal skin, (doesn't seem dry) but get a few black heads / spots on my T-zone.
Will go to a counter and let the assistant choose shades etc. but I'm just wondering what you guys out there think to be the best brand to go with?
Thanks:)

I use Bobbi Browns skin foundation and I find it good, but it seems a bit yellow for my skintone, I got sand 2. I think I should have gone for the pinkier one.
Macs face and body foundation is good, its really light and water based, I used it for ages before Bobbi Brown. I like Bourjois 10hr effect too, it's cheap but just as good
I got matched to the pre-mixed foundations but you can pay about £40 I think if you want them to mix a special one just for you. The normal pre-mixed ones are about £24 but if you are having trouble then it might be worth paying the extra to get them to make up a formula just for you. I've got the virtual matte foundation and coupled with the lancome primer, doesn't make my skin look shiny.
Laura Mercier is good too.
Anyway, my sister and I decided the best tactic was to stand in the centre and look at all the counter assistants and decide which ones looked the best in terms of their make-up and go and tell them I wanted to look like them, and lo and behold I ended up ack at Bobbi Brown. Explained about the last foundation I had, she set me up with a new one and some powder and a cover stick, and I got an AMAZING gel eyeliner and brush thrown in for free. Gel eye-liner - highly recommended BTW if anyones looking for a new one. Wore it out last night and checked the photos and am dead pleased with it!
Hope this will be useful to someone who is having a similar dilemma. Thank you to everyone who replied!
