The NC50 Thread

[Lipstickdiva420]

Lipstickdiva, do you mix or use the two different shades and blend?

I stil have some playing around to do so I haven't really mixed the two shades together yet, but I do blend the foundations together. I tried the nc50 and nc45 back in the winter and it looks much better than the nw45 which is darker on me and makes me more red. I did get a sample of the NC50 I need a nc45. I'm going to save that foundation for the summer time because I get darker. I recently brought the mufe foundations and it looks great on me. I still have some playing around to do with the foundations.

hey ladies. what did you all pick up from AA collection. I have to buy my items online because they are hell of expensive here in Korea.

I picked up Delphic to use as a highlight and all the shadows. I'm an extra dimension fiend!!

I missed out

....I missed all of the online launches, and I couldn't make it to a store today (plus, I figured that the stores would be sold out by the time I made it there after work). I wanted the two blushes. Did anyone here get the blushes? If so, what did you think of them? Any swatches on NC50 skin????

A few weeks ago I did get a new MUFE concealer. I got the Full Coverage concealer in 18. The concealer is slightly darker than I would like and has a little orange tint to it (which I like because orange helps to camouflage my hyper pigmentation), and I like it a lot better than my MAC Select Cover foundation. But, I think I like my MAC ProLongwear Concealer more than the MUFE, because the finish of it looks better than the MUFE.

I used sea me hear me blush today. I had to really build the color and even then there was only a faint hint of color. I wouldn't waste my money on it

So, ummmm, do those of you who use Lancome Teint Idole 24-Hr feel it has scent? I just noticed it says it is "fragrance-free". This is what keeps me from trying many Lancome products, and I am seeing that 470C and thinking it should be mine. Any recent experience with Teint Idole ladies? And color advice? I am wondering if the C shade might be too pink, but I keep hearing that it's a perfect NC50 match..

I'm in color 460 and it works fine

I have all those items minus the brushes and silver sun. I was worried about AS because alot of people were saying about it not being WOC friendly

 

[im10ika]

Yeah it's more like a soft highlighter

You could call Nordstrom beauty and they could search for stores that have what you want. That's how I got my Rihanna items. I just got See Me Hear Me blush, today, that way as well.

I've been stalking this thread for a while now
I'm fairly new to make-up

I'm a NC50 in Studio Fix Fluid and Studio Tech
and a 335 in Maybelline Fit Me stick

I would like to know what color I would be in L'oreal True Match or Cover Girl

and also what are the best berry pink and nude lipsticks/glosses for NC50?

Lastly, what are some good blushes?
I'm currently loving Mac Gleeful and Sweet as Cocoa.

Thank you!

Depending on your undertones, try C7 (Nut Brown) in True Match or N9. Also, which covergirl foundation are you looking at?

 

[littlemissk]

The Queen collection isn't anywhere near me, so I would either try TurBlend or Outlast

Ohhh, could you tell me what shade you used and what MAC shade you are? I don't want to assume just because it's the NC50 thread. Thanks for your response. I want to know all I can. It's a lot of $$ to invest in a base product. And if it oxidizes, I will be sure not to try it sight unseen on a weekday at work lol.

I know I'm late on this but I would try the shade 500W, perfect match for me, I used this foundation on my wedding day and it did not oxidize at all.

I tried a new foundation based on my findation.com matches and it's a pretty good match for me. Clinique super balanced foundation in the color Golden!! So far so good in terms of oiliness as well.

So today I'm trying my sample of Nars sheer glow foundation in Trinidad. I went in for New Guinea which is my findation.com match. They were out of New Guinea so the SA gave me Trinidad which she claims looks like it would be a better match. NOTTTTT. ITS WAY TOO DARK!! Ok not wayyyy dark but it's DARK for me. Still wearable but I'm afraid what I'm gonna look like by midday. Lord have mercy
