What Foundation Color Are You?

NC15 in moistureblend (I'm about to get SFF and SF powder to try out hopefully NC15 works for them too!)
And I use Clinique concealer in Light.

Ok, I finally found my combo...1 part Px Antelope + 1 part Px Ginger=My face

But when I am being lazy I will just choose one of the two and highlight/contour where applicable...The differences between the two shades are subtle. I'm sure I'm the only one who even notices...the perfectionist in me will never die.





Edit: In general, Antelope = winter; Ginger = summer
 
NC 25 => Mineralize SatinFinish SPF 15 Foundation
NC 20 => Select Cover-Up
MEDIUM => Studio Mist Foundation
MEDIUM DARK => Mineralize SkinFinish Natural

who knows! I wish I did, last summer I got matched to nc42 and until the cooler months where I lightened up it looked great on me! then it got waaay to dark, so there I go in february to get new foundation and the MA gave me nc40 with nw35 for my jawline, but it doesnt seem to match! I dont look glowy and pretty the way it did in the summer, just kind of ashy. so i dont know, i need to get back in there and find the right shade, but im getting lots of sun again...so i might as well go pick up my nc42!! lol.

I've never been color matched at MAC and for some reason the MA's at many counters always matched me as warm. I'd always thought it was wrong but figured they'd know better. I was finally matched as Ivory 2 in Lancome (can't remember the foundation type) and Rose in most PX foundations (but I don't like them too much) except one of the newer ones...Can't remember the name but I was one shade down in that since it runs darker.

The Px was a pretty perfect match I just didn't like the formulation.

I finally found some foundations I love and a great color match. With Laura Mercier I use three different shades. With the TM I use Porcelain, with the Moisturizing Foundation I'm Blush Ivory (so I assume it would be the same with the Oil Free) and in Silk Creme (my fave) I'm soft Ivory. Hers are yellowish but blend into my skin amazingly well.

I'm a NC15 in Studio Stick foundation, but I would probably go lighter if they had it. Porcelain, fair, ghostly pale in all others

Honestly I don't know what my foundation colour would be for MAC. I'd either be a NW15 or NW20 I think. I'm still looking for my perfect foundation though.

nc15 + nw20 studio fix fluid mixed together (still not perfect but it does the job)
but for work just a stay matte rimmel in porcelien with nw20 stuido fix powder
