Mac has recently come out with a Pro Longwear compact foundation. Very oily- Pro Longwear Compact Foundation The foundation provides a more sheer/medium coverage which is great if you want a more dewy look than a matte finish.

A foundation is not the right shade for you if you look ashy, orange or slightly grey. So, therefore, it is advisable to try out different shades to ensure a proper match. *Please be aware the shades can vary between each product i.e an NC42 in Mineralize Skinfinish may be different to the NC42 in the Studio Fix.
HairAndMakeupGirl has listed the top drugstore face primers that you can check out MAC foundation is best paired with a makeup primer to make the effect last longer and smoother. *So after much research and thought I have decided to do a breakdown of MAC foundations for different skin types as a guide if you are looking to try something new. When I spoke to a MAC consultant I was given a straightforward explanation that my skin is normal/dry and after much testing out of different foundations, it was the MAC match master foundation ended up being the best one for me. However it is not just about choosing the right shade of foundation but the right texture of foundation for our skin type, that affects its overall staying power and the finish you are looking for.įor years I was wedded to my MAC studio fix foundation but found only a few hours later the foundation simply melted off my skin, no matter how much primer I used beforehand. I started with NW25, but found I’m better suited to NCs, now I’m NC25, or 30 in summer.There is no denying it MAC is the place for foundation. This part is easier since is runs in order, normally starting at 15 then rising in 5s to 50, for example NW15, NW20 and so on. The best thing to do is pop in to your local Mac counter and ask the staff to test some on you or get a sample. My general undertone is more yellow/olive coloured, but where I catch the sun – nose and hairline, it tends to be a little pinky. Be warned, you can be a bit of both, which is why I’ve had a mix up. This tends to be people with olive or golden beige skin colour. NC, Neutral Cool, is suitable for people that have a yellow undertone in their complexion.
NW stands are Neutral Warm and is suitable for people that have a warm, pinkish undertone in their complexsion. First you need to know your letters, then your number.
Mac use a more complex system based on the artists colour wheel. Rather than shades being numbered 1,2,3 or ivory, beige, sunny etc. Mac foundations are available in an extensive range of shades.

When I was first fitted for Mac foundation, I was told I was an NW but have since been told that I am an NC.Ī lot of people find Mac foundation shades confusing, so I’ll try to explain…. I’ve also had to buy it in a different shade. Studio Sculpt Foundation £23 and contains an SPF 15. I tend to apply with a mixture of fingers and a regular foundation brush (I use No7’s). I wouldn’t normally have gravitated to a thick foundation, but as it’s gel based it’s very soft and applies like a dream – no danger of looking “caked” unless you pile it on of course. The Studio Sculpt is my secret weapon when I need more coverage, it’s very long wearing too. I tend to go between this and Mac’s Mineralize Skinfish foundation ( Read full reviews here). Great for dryer skins giving a fresh, dewy finish. It’s a lovely foundation – very creamy, thick and luxurious.
