Im so glad to finally see this thread! the Mac peeps dont ever seem to know what shade I am, but, heck! they have to sell something, so when I begun using Mac, I was matched to NC46 studio
fix powder plus foundation-it looked wrong, following morning, I went back to complain, and the lady at the counter convinced me it was my shade. so i stuck to it, then later i decided to change and was matched to NC50 fix fluid (in europe), its so red on me, gosh, oh and mac select sheer pressed in NC55- i have no idea why she made me buy this powder cos its abit dark on me! I just recently decided t try something that may help the situation, so i wanted to get the mineralize skinfinish natural , and the guy at the counter told me medium deep is the one, i simply look so red when i use the fix flud and this msfn! im so annoyed!!!!!!!!! wish i can get fix powder plus foundation that works for me.. maybe il try the nw43 as suggested here...
i got Nars pure radiant tinted moisturizer (seychelles) and it looks way better with a little msfn. A while after application , it sort of blends in
