PLEASE HELP

Hi Lovelies,

I need some urgent help. I have searched far and wide all over Google for the most closest Estee Lauder Double Wear Shade to MAC NC45 or Makeup Forever 173 but I have found nothing.

I am a MUFE 173 in HD (perfect shade ever! But too oily for my skin type) Correct Undertones (Medium Skin with dark olive undertones)
I am a MAC Select Cover up NC45 in (bit too orange/yellow, probably because it oxidizes)
I am a Caramel in Revlon Colour Stay (Bit too dark/orange too)


What is the closest Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation shade to the above?

I have 5W2 Rich Caramel in ELDW but it is a bit too dark like the Caramel in Revlon Colourstay.


PLEASE HELP! Would really Appreciate it

I wear all of these shades, as well. [COLOR=008080]5W1 Bronze[/COLOR] is definitely the best option. I have both the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place powder foundation and the liquid foundation in 5W1. Btw, couldn't agree with you more. MUFE 173 is an amazing match! The Colorstay is a bit too dark, and that's why I only wear it in the summer. In MAC, I technically wear NC44.5, but I use NC45 in the outer perimeter (because it can be too orangey). If you can get your hands on NC44.5 anything, then you should give it a try. Just saying. OK, hope that helped.

Really?! You've worn all of those shades, too? I'm glad to know that I wasn't alone. What are your thoughts on the Double Wear powder? I never considered it!

Yep! I've worn all of them.  For myself, I like the Double Wear powder more than the liquid foundation. It gives great coverage, it has longevity, and it held my oily skin at bay for a good amount of time before I needed to blot. I'm surprised that no one really talks about the powders from this line. They're worth recognition. Despite all the positive reviews, I found that the liquid foundation was a bit drying on my skin; which is odd, since I have very oily skin. But everyone is different. Maybe the liquid would work well for you. It seems that the liquid is just a smidge lighter than the powder, but both should still color match just fine.

You're right! I NEVER hear or read anything about the powder. I'm going to consider it! Time to hit YouTube to look for reviews. Thanks for the recommendation! ️
