I am NC37 in MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 and i have tried MUFE HD Foundation in 127, 128, 140, 153 and 155 individually. 127 is too light for me and so is 140. I think 140 is pretty close to NC35 as that is what i use with a bronzer (MUFE Mat Bronze Light Bronze 0 to be exact). So at one point in time i thought that 140 was my color. 128 was a good color too except that it had too much of a hint of beige on my skin. It make me look darker than what i am. 153 was too orange on me and 155 was a little too beige on me (or tan as i like to describe it versus what 128 did to me). But it works and that's what i have currently settled upon (the 155 that is).
The person who worked at Sephora actually liked 128 on me more than the 155. She suggested that i mix the 128 and 155 together and made a small sample of it for me to try at home. (Because yes i am that desperate to find the right shade combination in this foundation, i love it that much, even at $80 for the 2 bottles that i will need to get the right color combination). =).
So yeah the 128 and 155 turned out to be darker than the two colors alone which gave me this idea to mix 155 and 127 together since the 140 alone was a little too light and the 155 was a little too beige. So technically a mix of 140 and 155 should give me the right color but i only want to lighten the 155 so 127 (a slightly less yellow/lighter version of the 140) should do.
*crosses fingers*
Has anyone had this problem?
I figured that at $40 for a bottle of foundation especially when i am converting from a $26 foundation to a $40 one, i should make sure i find the right color that i'm happy with.
So all in all I've gone from 128 initially to 127 (which i technically didn't try on because already had 128 on half of my face and a Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation on the other. I said that i liked the MUFE HD Foundation better than the Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation except that i didn't like the beige color in it so she gave me a sample of 127 to try at home because it was suppose to be one shade lighter).
From the 127 that i tried at home i was matched with 140 upon my next visit in store, which i ended up buying.
Curious about going a one shade darker i went back to Sephora was color matched with 155 which she said would be more beige on my face than the 140. At the same time she also gave me 153 to try at home.
So I have bought 140 and the 155 and i will be going back into for a sample of 127 and 140 mixed together (i haven't used my 140 yet because i want to wait and see if the 127 and 155 is better together before alternating with the 140 and 155, or possibly mixing them too
).
