what shade of SFF should I buy?

[lizzymcfizzy]

Hi

So sorry if this is in the wrong section, I spent all yesterday afternoon reading the specktra website

I use NW 25 concealer on my dark under eye circles and its perfect but I'm not sure what shade foundation to buy.

I live wayayywaywayy from the nearest MAC counter and I emailed asking for samples and was told they do them

I have narrowed it down to needing studio fix but going by how the concealer shade looks on the website I don't trust the colours. It looks totally different to what it is.

I looked in the swatches section but couldn't find any nearest to what I think might match my skin type.

anyway.... can someone point me in the right direction? I have light olivey skin, brown eyes and hair. Can I put a pic of myself here to help or is there somewhere else I should post this?

ps I realise there is an Australian regio forum but I thought it wouldn't matter if I post there or here, possibly therewould be more people here

thanks so much to any advice!!

ps I currently use Revlon in sand beige in age defying botafirm or colourstay. I am 31.

ppps - where is the"thank" button?? There are so many posts I want to say a big thankyou for!

I'd go with NC25.

Try NC or NW25, you can always return it if it is not the right color! The thanks button is located at the bottom right-hand corner of each post.

I'd say NC20/25 and if you order online you can return it if its not the right shade x

OP, did you try any shades yet?

I wear Revlon Colorstay in Sand Beige (normal/dry formula) and I wear NC20. But I do put a bit of Cover Girl True Blend into my SFF to tone down the yellow.

HI

There was some SFF up for sale in the sale threads recently so I purchased some NC20 and its pretty close to my shade yay!

I'll keep looking around and would like to try some MUFE too.
