hi Love mac foundations and powders but having a bit of a colour match problem. I can't decide whether I'm nc or nw , I think im a bit of both as see yellow and pink tones in my skin , when doing the vein test on my arm they start blue then go green , all my veins elsewhere apart from the ones at the top of my wrist which are blue are green. Colouring wise i have dark brown eyes , light/dark brown hair with warm tones too it . I have used select foundation in nw15 this is fine but I think my neck looks slightly yellow in comparison to my face , not overly noticeable but my face looks quite a bit more pink in comparison , have also used the select powder in nw15 again fine , maybe slightly light and nw20 select powder which was fine and matched up better with my neck but seemed a little dark again not overly noticeable if applied lightly. I then tried the select foundation in nc20 because of the yellow tones I was seeing in my neck and because the nw20 foundation looked too dark for my face this was fine blended well though had to use the nw15 under my eyes as the nc20 didnt really work under my eyes , I tried the select powder in nc20 this to be honest seemed a bit too yellow/orange and I preferred the nw powders. So do I try the nc15 powder or is it ok to use an nc foundation with an nw powder or would I be better off trying the mneralise skin finish natural in light medium , the nc20 foundation seems to be the best overall match with an nw concealer but the nc20 powder makes me look like I've got a yellow/orange tinge. Thanks xx
