NARS Sheer Glow in Macao is my HG foundation. I have MUFE HD and have tried MAC foundations and a few drug store foundations but I always run back to my NARS Sheer Glow......I love NARS products.

Has anyone tried the NEW urban decay pressed powders? The packaging alone makes me want to buy them.

Okay I got a sample of the Macao and it was too yellow for me. I feel New Guinea Sheer Glow is a perfect match for me, I also got a sample of the New Guinea Matte foundation to test out. I am def going to pick up New Guinea in the Sheer Glow soon. I also got a sample of the Urban Decay foundation in #11 to test out.

i hope that works out for you, i didn't try the matte formula because it was just a tad bit too matte for me, but i'm in the mood for another foundation and i heard mixed reviews on urban decay foundation, so definietly let me know how that works out for you please, and also let me know how you like the sheer matte and maybe i will invest in that instead

*waves to all the NC50 ladies* i've been a lurker here for YEARS, and I finally just decided to post because this thread has been very helpful to me. I'm at work but I'll be back to post the LONG list of foundations that I have found that match me.

That new cream compact foundation WILL be mine when it gets cooler. I just bought the sheer glow (wearing it today actually) and I've put myself on a no buy for a while since I've gone a little crazy this month. But I'm very excited to hear more information about it and some reviews when it's released. Sephora already has it up on their site too.

I have tried Kevyn Aucoin SSE and I love it. It is a little thick but it's creamy and easy to blend. You can use it as foundation or a concealer. I wear it in SX15

I braved the Beverly Hills mall on the way home from work today
Visited Sephora and did swatches:
NARS Macao: too dark and too orange
Cover FX Pressed Mineral G80erfect
Kat Von D Lock It Deep 74: perfect
Josie Maran Matchmaker Med/Dark: pretty good
Be careful when looking at the Kat Von D swatches on the Sephora site. I would have chosen shade 66 if I had to order online without ever getting to swatch: it would have been too dark and too red. I was actually amazed by the Josie Maran foundation: one size never fits all but this actually was a pretty decent match after going on shockingly light.
Then I went to Macy's and tried the MAC BB Cream: Dark Plus. I liked this too. It was a good foundation shopping day, lol. Probably won't happen again before I die
I ended up buying the MAC: in SoCal, SPF35 wins. Might pick up the Josie Maran next time QVC has a sale: much less expensive than at Sephora. Kat Von D goes on wishlist for FF sale.

You saved me some $$ - I too would have thought 66 by Kat Von D would have been a match. I also tried Macao and Trinidad by NARS today - no dice. The Sephora SA was on a Clinique kick (she had done the SkinIQ thing on me and Clinique Stay Matte came up as a match) and she used Spice from the Stay Matte line - looked good at first, well decent, but by the time I got home my face was a totally different color than my neck lol.

I have the kat von D in 66 and it's a dull. I have a sample of the 68 to try. Wow kat Von D in 74 was a perfect match? I don't know if the sephora I went to carried that shade, I will google it and try to find swatches. From Nars try New Guinea, it seems to be a perfect match.You saved me some $$ - I too would have thought 66 by Kat Von D would have been a match.

I tried the Kat Von D powder foundation: the store had all 16 of the available shades.. They didn't have the darker shades of the liquid foundation for me to try, although I don't think 66 would have worked for me. Beige undertone as described is neutral and therefore a no for me: I usually need warm and yellow or golden.
NARS: no New Guinea to swatch either. The last available shade was Trinidad: too red, too dark.
Sephora can be such a hit or miss when it comes to being able to actually see the darker foundation shades in person
True - especially for the bolded, for so many reasons.I tried the Kat Von D powder foundation: the store had all 16 of the available shades..

Sephora can be such a hit or miss when it comes to being able to actually see the darker foundation shades in personIn our skintone range, the chances of being able to sell or swap an unwanted foundation are slim to nonexistent: I've ended up having to RAOK mine. So if I'm going to invest $25+, I definitely want to see it before I buy it. This is probably one of the reasons that I have more or less stuck with MAC over the years: there's never any issue with actually being able to see and try the product.

Thanks destine2grow. I've been kind of intriqued by it for a little while.
