MUFE/MAC Foundation Shade Conversion

[aeroerin]

I'm around an NW20 in MAC (I've been told that I'm various things, from NC25 to NW20, & I've never actually owned a MAC foundation. Only MSFN for me!). When I went to splurge on MUFE HD, I was shocked when I was matched 115 (fair with pink undertones), but I love it! I save it for special occasions when I want lots of beautiful coverage. I glow when I wear it, unlike the horrible glitter-fest and pore-clogging that is Revlon PhotoReady. I either use my fingers or Sephora Platinum Air Brush #55 (LOVE!) to apply.

For reference, I use Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer in SC-2 and MAC MSFN in Light-Medium/Medium.

If it helps anyone, I'm pretty pale (NW15 is too dark on me) and I'm 110 in HD which is a perfect match.

I'm totally in love with it!

Does anyone know what shade 115 converts to in F&B?

Would MUFE HD foundation in 117 match MAC's NC20 ?

I'm a NC42 and I think I was very close to being a 130...but it was kind of light...couldn't really find a match

Oh no! im a NC42 and am planning to take a look at MUFE when summer rolls around. Guess im going to have to go in

Would MUFE HD foundation in 117 match MAC's NC20 ?

I believe so - I just checked the first post and apparently NC20 would convert to either 117 or 118. I guess i'd see if you can swatch both and see which suits you best

I believe it would MUFE HD 178

this is correct. i just got 178 yesterday and it's right on!

I am a MAC NC20 (sometimes NC25 during summer) and I don't know exactly what I am in MUFE HD. I have got both 118 and 120 and looks the same on me. Although they are a bit different and I would never choose the one of them, when applied they match perefect my skin tone. That's why I love them!

Would MUFE HD foundation in 117 match MAC's NC20 ?

117 if you're on the paler side, 120 for a little darker
118 strangely seemed *too* dark, but it has a different undertone as well

Does anyone know what shade 115 converts to in F&B?

should be #2

I found that the conversion isn't exact for MAC and MUFE. I recently went to Sephora and Nordstrom to try both MAC and MUFE HD. I am a really difficult color to match - Asian with light skin with a very pronounced yellow undertone from my neck to my chest but with some pink undertone in the face. If I get a color to match the face, it doesn't match the chest and vice versa. The foundations I've tried were always either too pink or too orange with a weird greenish tint. So, I decided that I'd rather match the neck and chest after viewing tutorials on youtube.

I had the best match with MAC NC30, just a teeny tiny bit darker than I'd like but the closest of any foundation. Unfortunately, it oxidizes and after a couple of hours, became too dark and orange. Per the swatches in person at Sephora, I'm closest to 123 in the MUFE HD but after wearing it for day, I notice that it's slightly too beige (weird green tint) and not enough yellow. But I love the texture and it didn't oxidize as the MAC one did. What to do???

So, for reference, I'm light with bright yellow undertone, between NC 25 (too pinky beige) and NC 30 (closest match but tiny bit dark). IN MUFE HD, depending on the lighting, I can work with 120, 123, 127, and 128. The 140 had the best yellow but was just too dark.

I wear C 35 Studio fix , NC35 Studio Fluid. I have yellow /olive undertones and can't find the right match for MUFE Mat Velvet or MUFE HD.... HELPPPPP I don't like pink, peachy or orange undertones

 

[Sweets]

Is 123 yellow?

 

[Sweets]

Is 123 yellow? or does it look pink?

These shades aren't enough olive for me, but it's not too pink like some MAC NC shades, and they aren't orange on me.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

Is 123 yellow?

123 looked pretty yellow on me....I'm on the cooler/more neutral side though (MUFE 118) so yellow undertones always looks super yellow on me. I think you'd be ok with 123

I don't know what I am I had SFF in NC 20 but it was too orange and dark for me, but I KNOW NC15 would be waaay too pale for me. I have a goldeny olive skin tone but light...what should I go for in MUFE? damn skin tone.

For reference, I mix SFF NC20 with Revlon colourstay in Buff (which is alone way too pale for me).

Try 120, I think that should be ur best match and it has warm warm undertones. 117 matches NC15 and 120 is lighter than NC20

what about NW35,i usw mac NW35 and i wanna purchase MUFE online,i dun hav anyidea abt em.plz help me.thanks

 

[allthatmakeup]

I'm NC37 and MUFE HD #127 is a perfect match for me. I tried #128 and it's way too dark.

I am so very confused as to which shade I probably am now. I've been matched to both NC 20 and NW 20, neither works perfectly with my skin unfortunately. Recently, I started wearing NARS sheer glow in Deauville and it is a very good match so I'm thinking I have neutral undertones. And that's why neither NC nor NW works for me. I really want to try the HD line from MUFE too but I'm just so scared that I won't find a good match.

It seems that 118 would be the color to go for because it has neutral undertones.. But I read through the whole thread and it seems that 118 would be too dark for me?? Shadowy Lady pointed out that 118 is a perfect match for her but she wear NW25 which is way dark on me. I'm closer to a NC 20 in the summer and NW 15 in the winter though it is too pink. Help please! I don't have a Sephora near me (I live in Japan) so I'm trying to figure out what shade to order online.
