Chanel Vitalumiere foundation users

My favorite foundation is the vitalumiere compact in beige 30.

I just had to try Bobbi Brown's reformulated long wear compact foundation. I normally am beige in her foundations but they tend to get too yellow. I went a little darker and got natural. It blends well and doesn't look too fakey dark. I love how it looks and I notice if I go a just a little darker it seems to look better.

My dilemma is that after wearing the BB for a few days, my face gets dry (and I have normal to oily skin but used to be always oily). I have to stop using it for a while and go back to it. If I change moisturizers it doesn't look as good or last as long. I wonder if the vitalumiere in the next darker shade would be close to BB natural. I am an hour away from BB and Chanel counters and plan to buy online. I just hate buying something and have it turn out to be a waste. Is there a big difference between the shades? Am I going to look like a woman who went crazy with the self tanner?
