I used to use Select Sheer powder in NC25 as an everyday 'powder foundation' (I'm not a 'real foundation' person. I prefer light coverage ). Now I'm using MSF natural in Medium. I have combination skin as well (normal all over and slightly oil on the nose). MSF natural is better (but not perfect) in controlling the oiliness on my nose (compare to Sheer Select powder, which does nothing for the oiliness). The MA suggest that I light brush some Blot Powder on my nose with a 187 after the MSF natural to control the oil. HTH! ps. I absolutely loveeee my MSF natural now.

I agree - MSFN doesn't make me extra oily, but it also does very little to control oil (it's not meant to control oil.) After applying MSFN I use Blot powder on areas where I tend to get oily and it works great.

God I wish I could use just MSFN as my everyday powder foundation! It doesn't cover well on my skin, but I have a lot of redness to hide - seriously, aged 20 and broken capillaries on my face

Anyway... I'm NW15 & Light Medium suits me fine.

I just purchased MSF natural in medium plus. It does leave a smooth finish but not much coverage. I've used it with the skunk brush but since reading this thread I'm thinking I should use a kabuki for more coverage since I have alot of redness.

I've been using it as an everyday foundation since I first got it ...which was last year this time..loves it!!(I try to experiment with foundation so I can have a # lol, but always go to my HG)..if it looks powder-y..spray a mist of fix+ and your good to go

I'm NW20 and I feel like the Medium MSFN is just a tad too light for me, but I use it anyway because I know that the next darkest shade would be wayyy too dark. I apply it with my Coastal Scents Italian Badger Buffer Brush and it works great.

I love MSFN, but can only wear it in the winter time since I'm super oily. From October to march, I use it with a 109 brush. I use concealer underneath, and spray w/ fix plus also. It gives a great glow.

I really love these for everyday wear, as they're not too heavy and I only really need to even out my skin tone, however, I purchased Medium Deep in the summer and lo and behold, it's now too dark for me. I have studio fix powder in C40 and it's pretty much a perfect match for me. Any recc's for a lighter MSFN for me? The Mac swatches aren't much help! Medium dark looks darker than medium deep! TIA!
