My foundation should be NC because my body is very yellow, but my powder should be NW to balance. I am also a NW45/NC50.

I was then given Nw 45 in studio fix which looked sort of red after time. I couldnt figure out why so i went back two days ago and they told me that I was a nc50 it looked fine while i was there but when I looked closely l looked ashy. idk what to do but i am returning tomorrow to try again :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502531658820368133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417232553355989398.post-65311917429043178402012-01-30T02:21:08.323-05:002012-01-30T02:21:08.323-05:00Ugh, I have just realized a few hours ago that I a...Ugh, I have just realized a few hours ago that I am going through the same thing you did. I always noticed reddish hues but overrode my better judgment, trusting the MUA instead. I am going to MAC tomorrow. I'm a tad nervous....I don;t want to appear like one of those dark-skinned girls in denial about their skin color.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07267793195221656559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417232553355989398.post-61629810947559773652011-01-13T21:52:19.761-05:002011-01-13T21:52:19.761-05:00Love the post.

As i started to use it i noticed the subtle redness to it which made it a little difficult to blend. then i purchased the mac pro long wear concealer and the mac girl knew i was a nc 50 right away and that looks way better. I agree those mac mua need to get it together.MemeJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554731248436623737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417232553355989398.post-65037170761719680152011-01-12T23:13:53.246-05:002011-01-12T23:13:53.246-05:00@ash yeah it does take some getting use to@ash yeah it does take some getting use toK.

However, I don't wear a lot of makeup (just lipstick) because I don't like the way the foundation feels on my skin.A.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02703725263207972614noreply@blogger.com
