Help for a NW25 with no MAC counter available!

[tilly23]

Hi!

I'm having a hard time buying things online.... I'm wanting to buy a mineralised skin finish to put ontop of my foundation but I'm not to sure which one... I was thinking Medium? Any ideas?

I'm also having trouble with my eyeshadows... I bought Brulee and also Soba thinking they would come up on my lids... but they just aren't dark enough on my skin tone... could any one help with some great colours for an NW25? I'll post a photo so you know exactly what skin tone I am... I'm also looking for another great highlight colour if any one could suggest something?

The eyeshadows I have are; Espresso, Carbon, Wedge, contrast, humid, cranberry, soba, swiss chocolate, brulee, ricepaper, handwritten and satin taupe... but I feel as if I could expand this collection a little (LOL!)

And I also have Melba, and Gleeful for blushes from MAC but I'm looking for another couple of blushes to use... maybe one more peach and just any other suggestion.... also is soft and gentle a good highlighting colour for the face?

ALSO (LOL sorry for all these questions, any help is a BIG help!) could anyone suggest a good nude lip colour and just a general every day one that would be good?

I have in lipsticks; hot gossip and creme cup, hot gossip is a good hot pink, but I'm looking for something a little bit more every day??

Thanks to anyone who can help me.... I appreciate it SO much!

I am a light-medium in a MSFN and I'm only NW15, so I would think you would be a medium.

The reviews on MUA also make me think you might be a medium:

this is what one reviewer said: "Medium was a good match for my NC25 skin, a bit dark (more towards NC30), but a good natural colour for the summer. I also have Light-Medium, and while this is also a nice colour, it's a bit light (more towards NC20), still wearable, good for the winter though. So colour-wise, those who are NC25 can wear both Medium and Light-Medium, depending on what kind look you're after." (although she is a NC25 rather than an NW25).

Shame you don't have a counter nearby, I always have trouble picking my colours to start with - it would be even worse if I had to do it all online, so I feel your pain!

Thanks so much! That gives me a heap of help! It definitely doesn't help not having a Mac counter available! So glad someone can relate!!
