Mineralize Skinfinish Natural: Medium Dark vs. Medium Deep?

I love MAC's Mineralize Skinfinishes. I have a ton of the LEs, and I use the natural in medium dark over my foundation.

How is medium deep in comparison to medium dark? I looked at the swatch on the website, and it looked more beige & less bronze than the medium dark. Would medium deep be suitable for my NC40 skintone?

Thanks!

Medium Deep is darker than Medium Dark.
I am NC 30 and use Medium Dark, so Medium Deep should work for you!

I actually have both. I'm an NC35-NC37 and I use Medium Dark everyday all over my face, like a powder after I use foundation. I find, that it sets my foundation and gives my face a nice glow.
I just used Medium Deep yesterday and I really like it. It is a bit darker and I even like it for a bronzer. If you'd like, I'll send you some pics of the two, just PM me

So if you use Medium deep all over, can you use Deep dark as a contour? Or will that be too dark for that purpose?

hello Barbara
my question is a mineralised skinfinish natural
Hi Nicholle
i wear studio fix in c7
can u say which shade i should get?
i'm also interested in getting one for contour, unless u can recommend a better product for that
Absolutely. The Medium Deep shade will be ideal for you.
For contouring, I would do the Dark or Deep Dark shade.
which do you think would be better?
I personally would go for Deep Dark. It will give you more colour for a naturally sculpted look.
okay...I was recommended this before, so thanks for the confirmation

Thanks, chica! You know what's funny? I asked a livechat woman yesterday and after I told her I wore c7 she said deep dark was the best color to match my skin. So obviously I didn't ask about a contour
nope.gif


So looks like I'll be getting Deep Dark for a contour...

I have also gotten incorrect color advice in a MAC chat myself, so I tend to go back a few times and get second opinions. Once I was told my shade of bronzer was "Golden"...bought one too-in ignorance, it didnt match and since i'm in a different country returning it was out of the question

Hi All,
I've had the same problem with matching my skin tone NC44 in studio sculpt, c5 mixed with a touch of c6 in f&B , I tried Mac Mineralize skinfinish natural in deep dark too bronzy great as a blush. tried Sun Power just too orangey, tried and kept Give Me Sun not too orange or red. Kept Gold Deposit for those summery dark nites on the beach, its great with it smoothed over your skin giving it that golden touch without too much glow...just rich enough for my neutral skin tone. I like to know if MMSFN in dark will do me right. I am going to check out Fashion Fair Cosmetics they have always had beautiful highlighters for deeper skin tones. Let me know of any ideas. Thanks!
