I have never been able to find the exact match for my skin tone with their selection of shades, so I mix the NC45 & NC50 foundation to achieve my exact match. I guess the good thing about mixing both shades is that for instance, as I've been in the sun recently, I've become darker so I am able to use the darker shade (NC50).

What is your favourite foundation? Do you use MAC?
It's interesting because I tried this foundation and I found it didn't last long, faded and went patchy and oxidised a load really quickly!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried MAC before. It looks like the foundation has a really nice structure. One you can blend easily and feels comfortable wearing. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should hop by a MAC store soon! :)
Thanks for the review!

I use this foundation and I absolutely love it. It's give great coverage and lasts all day. Definitely great for oily skins.

Thanks for the comments ladies!
ReplyDelete@Hannah ~ That's interesting as I have never experienced that. I think it also has alot to do with skin type.
@Sal ~ Yes it does blend easily. It is very rich!
@Julie ~ It's great isn't it!

Great review, I'm nc45ish winter and about nc47 summer this foundation breaks me out&oxidizes, it was my first ever foundation loved it but like other mac face products it causes me breakouts I have found love with Lancome, Chanel and Ysl foundies where I don fall btwn shades
ReplyDeleteI actually loved this foundation. The only reason I stopped using it regularly is because I prefer a bit less coverage now. But it never broke me out or anything only thing is I did tend to get oily relatively quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments ladies!
ReplyDelete@Sharon ~ Yes I've heard people say it caused breakouts, but it was ok for me. I think it all depends on your skin type!
@Nia ~ Yes it is a full coverage foundation and may be to heavy at times. It all depends on the look you're trying to achieve! Do you have oily skin? I do, so that it why mine tends to get oily.
Best,
Victoria
I haven't used a MAC liquid foundation in a while but I should definitely go back into it...I love matte finishes cause ya'know a girl cannot have oily skin all the time. LOL.
ReplyDeleteGreat review. I thought I was the only one who couldnt find a match with the MAC SFF the NC50 is a bit too dark and the NC45 is too light, but think im gonna deffo have to mix the two like you do.x
ReplyDeleteMac foundation is still in my wish list love ur swatches Thanks sweets for sharing :)

ReplyDeleteCould you post a swatch of nc50 without any flash and filters in natural light? Cuz I thought I was nc50 and was going to buy it in that shade in store but your nc 50 looks much lighter
