Foundation Equivalencies

[MAHALO]

MAC NC45, MAC NW43, and BB GOLDEN all work for me depending on the time of year. I purchased REVLON COLORSTAY CARMEL (normal/dry) formula recently. it's much closer to MAC SPF NW43 than NC45 or BB GOLDEN

Any one tried Cover FX foundations? I am trying to find the exact match. I have cargo in F70 , cover fx in B25 and MAC Select Tint in NC50 to try out.

UPDATE:

Cargo in F70 is way too red than any yellow/golden undertones

Hi everyone!!! Does anyone know what color I would be in the new NARS Sheer glow foundation if I am a nc40/42? I am thinking I am Tahoe, but we don't have NARS nearby so I can't swatch it to be sure.

MAC studio fix - NC50 (slightly too dark)

I tried BECCA Luminous Skin - NUBA. Although I love the feel and sheerness of this tinted moisturizer the color is off. It's not yellow enough and a little too dark for my NC45, BB GOLDEN (best) skintone. Can you suggest a shade that might work better for me? I have to order online. There is no store nearby where I can test the colors.

Add to matches for C7 and between NC45 and NC50 is Nar's Sheer glow in Macao!! Very yellow toned I will have to test it again now that its Fall and I have lightened a bit. I tried Cadiz today and its a pretty good match also but a smidge light.

Another match for me is Cover FX mineral pressed powder in B15.

MAC NC45, MAC NW43, and BB GOLDEN all work for me depending on the time of year. I purchased BECCA Luminious Skin Color in NUBIA and TOBBACCO and BECCA Stick Foundation in BRIOCHE. NUBIA is very neutral (almost olive) in tone a tad too dark for me. But because it is so sheer, I can use it on my chin if I blend a lighter warmer color into it. TOBACCO is a good shade for me. It's a lot less yellow than BB GOLDEN and less orangy than MAC NC45. It most closely resembles the tone of REVELON Color Stay in Carmel but it's just a hair lighter. The tone of the Stick Foundation in BRIOCHE is off for me. It's not warm enough.

MAC Face and Body Foundation C4
NARS Sheer Matte Foundation Barcelona

I'm having a hard time figuring out my MUFE match. Any ideas?

I purchased another color BECCA stick foundation. It works. The color is SYRUP. It's warmer and a little lighter than BRIOCHE. It should work well for MAC NC45, BB GOLDEN complexions.

Hi ladies

Could I please get your thoughts. I currently use either BB (Warm Almond) or Becca (Treacle), and was tempted by the Nars Skin Glow foundations. The MUA recommended New Guinea. He also used Palm Beach underneath to give that added glow. It looked perfect. However, I'm wondering whether New Guinea is right for me as it's got red undertones, and my skin has yellow. I tried it alone today, and it looks okay, but I'm wondering whether Benares (dark with golden undertones) or Trinidad (dark with yellow undertones) would be better. However, they might be too dark.

Any thoughts??

Thanks in advance.

Im NC40 and got nars sheer glow in Barcelona. At first, I thought it was perfect but now I think I need a shade darker although Syracuse was to orange. Any idea if tahoe would be better?
