Not this NC15, lol. 117 is too dark and too yellow on me and seems to oxidize and get darker as the day goes on. I've seen alot of other NC15s on MUA say they couldn't get a match in HD either. I think they really need paler yellow and neutral shades, around the level of 110, which is so pink. I'm experimenting with mixes of 110 and 117, so far 2/3 110 and 1/3 117 seems like an improvement, but I'm not sure I love this foundation enough to fork over the $$$ for 2 shades.

Re: MUFE/MAC Foundation Shade Conversion
I'm right in between NC25 and NC30.
The SA at Sephora matched me to 140 in MUFE HD. I hope it matches.
It's just a sample so it's not a big deal if it doesn't.
It seems like it may be too dark, according to what others are saying, but I'll find out for sure tomorrow!

Re: MUFE/MAC Foundation Shade Conversion
I just discovered how awesome MUFE foundations are the other day at Sephora. I had been using NW30 in StudioFix fluid and NW25 in Mineral Skin Finish Fluid. Neither of them are a perfect match for my skin, because I have more pink in my skin, and the 25 looks chalky and the 30 is too orange. NC is completely out of the question. But! I went to Sephora to look at MUFE HD foundations and found #145. It's amazing. Its the exact color of my skin in a bottle.  And the HD powder is also A-MA-ZING.

Re: MUFE/MAC Foundation Shade Conversion
It took me a while to find the correct match but it's better late than never!
I'm in between NW25 and NW30 in MAC. I got matched for 118 in MUFE HD. It's the closest match I've ever had for my skin in any brand. I also got matched for the powder foundation (duo matte) in #205.

Re: MUFE/MAC Foundation Shade Conversion
What about for Mat Velvet+?
The women at Sephora gave me number 55(Neutral Beige), and it was waaaay too dark (it's my own fault cause I said I wanted it a little on the dark side) it actually made me look kinda orange, lucky for me it was only a sample.
Anyways anyone have swatches of Mat Velvet+? or any suggestions?
I'm NC20-25(my pic is on the side, and in my profile)
I'm looking online at Sephora(which NEVER helps) and I think I may like #40 or #30.

Re: MUFE/MAC Foundation Shade Conversion
What shade of MUFE HD would I be if I'm a NC25 in MAC Select Sheer press powder, C2 in MAC Face and Body foundation and have more of yellow/golden undertones?

Re: MUFE/MAC Foundation Shade Conversion
Hi,
I wear an NC43 in Mac and have been wearing MUFE Mat Velvet Plus in #60. It's a tad too warm (more NWish) for my skintone (but not super noticable), in the winter I will be checking out #55 or #65 which seem slightly more like a Mac 'NC'.
I'd be curious to know if anyone else feels similar with the Mat Velvet shades.
I'd also love to know what shade a NC43 would be in MUFE Full Cover Concealer

I would guess 120. I have 118 and it's very neutral/beige. I'm going to get 120 during the Sephora F&F. I have MAC F&B in C2, but haven't compared it to 118. I'm not at home, or I would.
This might help.

I agree, try the 120 if your have yellow undertone. I wear 118 and I'm as close to neutral as it gets and it's the perfect match for me. 120 and 118 are similar besides the undertones (118 being beige and 120 being yellow)

Re: MUFE/MAC Foundation Shade Conversion
I'm NC42-43 in MAC and 153 in MUFE HD which is a perfect match. I also use #55 in MUFE Mat Velvet but there is a pinkier or beige undertone. It looks okay but I prefer the HD much more.

Re: MUFE/MAC Foundation Shade Conversion
NC20 = MUFE 120
NC35 = MUFE 123
NC40 = MUFE 128
Yes I have all these shades, I used to wear 120 when my skin was a lot lighter, 123 with a tan, and now my skin is darker so I wear MUFE 128. By the way, 128 would be similar to the MAC Moisture Tint in Dark.
These shades aren't enough olive for me, but it's not too pink like some MAC NC shades, and they aren't orange on me.

Re: MUFE/MAC Foundation Shade Conversion
About MUFE HD foundation, from some of these post; it says that this foundation oxidizes. How badly does it oxidize through out the day? If I get 120 will it be too dark and noticable for me at the end of the day?

Re: MUFE/MAC Foundation Shade Conversion
For Mat Velvet+ I got #35 in "Vanilla." Perfect match for my NC20-25 skin! Kinda weird they call it "Vanilla" when it's a tanned color.
I was planning on getting #30, but it was a little too light, so I ended up getting #35
