really old powder - not sure what to buy now

[Yisote]

Maybe this is more suited to recommendations...?

I bought this MAC Studio Finish Face Powder a while ago and it's probably time to get a new one.

Upon looking at the MAC website, the current powder jars are 8g/0.28oz while this one is 40g/1.4oz.

The bottom reads 'W10' which I think is the shade...under that it says A99...does that mean it was made in 1999?! lol, it's possible. It has been a while since I bought face powder.
The shades have changed too, on the website, so I'm not sure what to buy when I visit a store on Monday.

Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah that is pretty old...You should try the Invisble Set Powder it will probably work great for you

lol, dang girl.. you made that one last a loooong time! Yeah, if your store doesn't have the Invisible Set (it's a pro only item), then just know that your MUA will probably direct you towards the Select Sheer/Loose in the NW range (maybe NW15, but I might be wrong) heehee

Studio Finish, pressed and loose, was DCd awhile ago. It was replaced with the Select Sheer powder. Select Sheer has better colour and colour stabilization, IMO, so the replacement in MAC's line was a good thing. The only loose Studio Finish they have now is pro in White and Gold (white is being DCd).

If you are looking to stay with MAC, I would try the Invisible Set powder (pro item) as suggested above, or head into a MAC store/counter and get matched up for the Select Sheer loose. You have had your current Studio Finish powder for awhile now and chances are it has oxidized and changed colour or you have changed colour.

Good luck!
