Mac Studio Sculpt in NW20; 32,50€. The pores but still doesn't look like a mask or fake. It still lets the skin look like skin but in a perfect way. Nw20 is the perfect match for my skin tone. It sits on the skin all day without going anywhere. I think you can see the huge difference that this foundation does to my skin and my skin is. And I went to a store to try MAC studio fix and I tried these two shades, nc15 and nw13 and nc 15 was a perfect match for me whereas nw13 was little light but im plannig to buy both!! But which studio fix powder to use for nc15 and nw13?
As most of you know I am from a small town in Ireland which does not have a department store so I have to rely heavily on purchasing products online. This can be a nightmare when purchasing foundations. For this reason I decided to compile a list of what shades I am in each foundation so hopefully you guys will be able to use it as a reference if you are in the same predicament as me. Or even if you are looking in the drugstore and find it a little daunting as to which shade is closest to your skin tone this may help as a starting point.
Mac Hyper Real NW20
Chanel Vitalumiere 40 Beige (This is too dark I need one shade lighter)
YSL Teint Resist Shade 5
Estee Lauder Double Wear Desert Beige 12
Revlon ColorStay 180 Sand Beige
Bourjois Healthy Mix 52 Vanilla
Some other foundations which I have used in the past
