foundation help, what color would i be?

[mariane]

Hello.. I have a question.. I never used a MAC foundation before and today i went to a store to try to find the best foundation for my skin..Well, the lady showed me the Face and Body foundation. I tryed it on and it felt weird..but anyways..it looked quite nice afterwards. And now i saw all of the reviews and now i've been thinking about the Mineralize satinfinish foundation..so, to the Face and Body foundation i'm N3..what shade would i be to the other foundation? Thanks

Hmmm...it might be too hard to tell without getting matched, hun...your N3 is a totally neutral foundation...no one undertone is stronger than the other. Mineralize Satinfinish doesn't have N anything, it's all NC or NW which will have a warm or cool undertone. I would go get matched, just to be safe. You don't want to purchase a product that doesn't work for you.

I agree with ForgetRegret, you need to go get matched. Depending on the foundation I could be NC or NW! Always go get matched if you can!

I've heard that sometimes people who are NC's wear NW's in Studio Fix because they find it to be an orangey foundation. It's gonna depend on the foundation too, not just undertones and colors.
