Not that I wish them on you, but any super oily days in the last while? I'd really like to know, as my nose gets so slick. Have you ever tried it in combination with blot loose or blot pressed on an oily day? Then again, I wonder if it's worth it if I have to use blot powder anyway... unless it gives incredible finish and sucks up oil like no tomorrow... I don't want to use so many products for just one problem

, so I'm hoping the Avant msf's might solve a bit of that!

Also, any NC35-ers try it out yet? What shade worked? Thx!

Natural MSFs and corresponding complexions

For all of you that have gotten the new Avant Gold natural MSFs can you tell me what color you got and your normal MAC foundation tone?

Okay, the MSFs are not that great on an oily day, and I don't think they have any sort of absorbing power (but I'm curious if other people also have had that experience). I will be trying it with blot tomorrow though just to see. I've been using blot film today and that seems to work pretty well. But I agree about having a bunch of products on my face, so I'm not excited about having to wear blot in addition to the MSF.

N9/NW45/NW600 here and Deep Dark looks great on me, but I'll be trying Dark this afternoon after work.

When I use MAC foundation, I'm NW20...but I mainly use Bare Escentuals 1.0/3.0 mixed.

Today I used my MAC Select SPF 15 for foundation and when I got to the MAC counter, I used a wipe to remove the makeup on the left cheek. The MA suggested Medium because Light would "wash me out". I had her apply it to both cheeks so that I could see it on "bare" skin and over the NW20 foundation.

It is VERY sheer and would make a good finishing powder, but it certainly doesn't have the dewy results that the regular "non-matte" MSFs give...

C25 = medium, for me.

 

[danabanayna]

NW 25 , medium

 

[stefunnie]

Judging from the pics in our profile, we have very similar coloring: I'm a blue-eyed redhead. The veins on the underside of my wrist are blue AND green...go figure!

What type of MAC foundation do you use? I mainly use BE, but I'm leaning back towards MAC foundation again, but I'd like to try a different formulation this time around.

NC35, tried medium dark today the counter and it's working pretty well.
