all MAC liquid foundations are far too dark for my skin, however the studio stick is the only appart from powder that do a decent match in nw15 wich I believe is paler than the NC wich made me yellow.

The problem is that the studio stick is really thick and greasy so not good for an everyday basis as if you are acne-prone its a no-no

solutions: if you are mac-addict but care for your skin:

use select cover up concealer in NW15 mixed with strobe cream in the back of your hand then apply normally. it makes a great foundation and you choose the coverage adding less or more concealer.

NW5/NC5 face powder is really really pale too if you want a matte finish afterwards.

Studio Fix seems extremelly pale in the shop but its a really thick powder so it probably wouldnt look too good on me because I tend to have dry patches, and I heard reviews that block the pores... but if it works for you the colours are great!

I personally after a while and trying loads, the best for me is Givenchy Subli'mine foundation in exact dragee, wich doesnt cover much but evens the skin nicely, and you can put powder on top after if you want some more coverage, or blend in select cover up concealer.

I use also a lot bare escentuals, the fairest one, its a tad bit darker but with the kabuki brush it looks great, it doesnt damage the skin and there is no yellow face or patches, its quite porcelain like with strobe cream under does a fab job!

hope this helps xx
