Re: WOC: Studio Sculpt Foundation

I already had the 191 so need to purchase another. I passed on the concealer brush too. Well, today I decided to try out the less is more face, so I'm only wearing the concealer and my sheer select powder and to be honest I love it! My face feels light and it gave good coverage. The MA suggested the SSP for coverage where concealer was not applied. Of course I'm wearing my "lover" Brunette MSF.

I read the entire thread and none so far... no NC45s so far have had to change shades. I'm going tomorrow to check it out... also NC45... my fingers are crossed. I'm going to ask for a few samples though. I'm soooo tired of buying then returning foundation and powder. I think Sephora has me just tired of trying.... to get the MUFE right.

Re: WOC: Studio Sculpt Foundation

Okay I got the foundation in NC50 (my normal shade) and concealor in NW45. My preliminary results are I LOVE IT! I just had her color match me on one side of my face so I haven't done a full face wear it all day trial but like everyone says it looks so natural. It does give a satin-like finish that you can use powder to mattify if you prefer. It looks like your skin but better. I love the concealor as well. Like butter! I passed on the brushes. I have a good foundation and concealor brush already. Didn't seem necessary.

Loves it to...so much I have two bottles and have safely stored all others in the drawer for now and I am only 3 days in...I didn't even like MUFE initially like this...

I use the concealer for under eye and its like a nice creamy paintpot of love...great coverage just a dab is all that is needed

I got a chance to look at the 195 concealer brush and it's similar to NARS flat concealer brush
Same Taklon synthetic bristle, similar density, similar overall shape although MAC's is smaller

Re: WOC: Studio Sculpt Foundation

There seems to be an issue with the NC50 at three of my local MAC counter/locations. The NC50 is darker than usual. The SA I spoke to today said they believe that the NC50 and NC55 are switched. So she tested the NC55 on me (I'm normally NC50), and it works .

Has anyone else noticed this mismatch?

By the way, I love this foundation!

I'm mostly using the concealor to cover some hyperpigmentation I have in some areas. Works great for that! I haven't used it under my eyes yet....

Agreed. The creamy "painpot" concealor is genius! I love it. And the tube of foundation is bigger than it looks in the promo pictures.

Hm, you know, I thought it looked a little dark in the tube, and it was a little less golden on my face, but it still looked really nice and there was no line of demarcation between my face and neck. I will say that on the site, Nc55 looks more golden than NC50, and I thought that was weird, despite the fact that the site usually messes up swatches.

Not in this range, but me and a friend noticed, thah NC30, NC35 and NC40 are nearly the same shade with only different undertones.
I tried out NC35 and NC40 and hat the impression, NC35 makes me look kinda fake tanned... NC40 is more neutral and so it looked lighter anyhow... and I decided to buy NC40. It seems they really switched something, lol

Re: WOC: Studio Sculpt Foundation

You ALL have got me excited to get this. Just waiting on that tax return ya'll...just waiting...

It seems no one has really experienced any adverse reactions either. My skin has been sooo super-sensitive lately and I just want to make sure. I think I may try and get a sample and see what happens.

I love the formula feels like it's gliding on the skin.... so soft, but when I went to try on the NC50 which is my normal shade but, it was too dark for me too, none of my MA's mentioned that it might be the wrong shade...instead they tried to sell me NC45 which wasn't even there....they said it was on backorder so i left with just the concealer in NC45 and I was sooo hurt.....
I'm wondering if the concealer is the wrong shade too....I haven't tried it yet....What do you guys think???

I'm glad someone else noticed the color difference as well . I actually purchased the NC55 and it was more golden than the NC50. The NC50 was dark for me, but might work in the summer. I immediate put it on as soon as I got home and I love texture of this foundation. I'm going to wear it today and see how it goes.

There is definitely a difference in the colors. When I go back to the store with my friend today, I'm going to really play with the colors to see what works best.

The two MAC counters that I went to didn't have half of the shades. The SAs mentioned something about the shipments being held up in customs so I wasn't able to try any other shade but the NC50, but it was dark. Yesterday, I went to the MAC counter (yeah, I've been stalking - LOL), and they had all of the shades. NC50 (my normal shade) was too dark, NC45 was too light, so I picked up NC55, which looks like it should be NC50 to me. Either way, I love this foundation. I wore it for quite a while last night, and it really has a beautiful finish and didn't get oily (I'm an oily girl)

I haven't tried the concealer, but I'm looking forward to trying it later.

Re: WOC: Studio Sculpt Foundation

I'm on my way to the mall now and I'm going to try on NC55 since I've read this thread....I'm also going to take back my nc45 concealer and see if NC50 is a better match....Thanks guys for the advice...I was really upset the other day when I went and really couldn't justify buying the NC50 but reading this gives me hope....LOL

Re: WOC: Studio Sculpt Foundation

Dang it! Well, I have a question, guys. Can you return your foundation if the match isn't good and exchange it for another? I'd really like to try NC55 now that you guys have confirmed my suspicions. I kept saying this looks dark, but the MUA and my friend aren't black and they were like no it looks fine. It's not bad, but to me it's noticeable. Regarding the concealers, they match just fine so far that I've noticed.

yes you can return as long as you have the reciept and even if you don't they will allow you to exchange as long as you have original packaging....

Re: WOC: Studio Sculpt Foundation

Hmm okay...I applied the foundation and wore it for several hours yesterday...again I LOVE it. The feel, the texture, it kept my oilies in check. But it does seem slightly darker than my usual NC50 in SFF. No lines of demarcation and its not super noticeable (maybe only to me since I know what NC50 usually looks like). It is less golden though so i'm wondering if I should try NC45 or maybe NC55 since you guys are saying NC55 is more golden. I'm on the fence.

On another note, my NW45 concealor is a dream. Covers my dark spots great and blended well into my foundation. Hmmmm...

Re: WOC: Studio Sculpt Foundation

NW43 is true to color. I purchased it today several hours ago. So far so good ... it's staying true to color. I had the MUA makeup only half of my face so that I could compare the color to MSF NW43 that I was wearing. Since I do not like medium or heavy coverage, the MUA used brush #187 for a nice light finish. I like it.

I picked up a foundation sample yesterday (due to mineralized foundation in nw 45 being a horrible nightmare) and I love it!! I'll pick up one on Thursday when I go for my hello kitty make over.

So, do you think it won't oxidize on very oily NC45? Thanks in advance
