I would say Light? I am NW20 and Light was a decent match for me. Medium was too deep.

Re: MAC - Baby Blooms Discussion

I agree with MzzRach, get Light! I'm NW15 in winter, NW20 in summer, and I got Light and it's a good match. This TM also gets a from me for the oily girls! I imagine it wouldn't be very moisturising at all for dry skin - even I use an oil controlling moisturiser under it. It's definitely more of a sheer foundation with SPF in it for me, which is what I wanted anyway.

Re: MAC - Baby Blooms Discussion

OK - so I had decided not to get the Studio tinted moistutizer - but got it anyways, not thinking it would be anything special!

Came home saturday afternoon, take my face off :-) and apply this to my face....after a while my boyfriend goes:"are you wearing makeup?" " your skin looks really good....." - so I'm thinking, OK this might doing somthing for me.

This morning I applied Mat texture cream, the tinted moisturizer and finished with a layer of mineralized skinfinish....... 3 people at work has commmented on my makeup..... a girl at the office said I was glowing and she couldn't see what it was, but my skin was looking really good good

My recommendation has to be - TRY IT - it might work wonder for you - I'm loving it, and I'm happy it's going to be permanent.

By the way - Enkoren did a video about an ingredient that was no good for pregnant or trying to become pregnant women - that ingredient is no where to be found in the version I have - so maybe they didn't put it in the european version !

i agree too. get light. i just got a sample of light and medium. i can technically wear both as they are sheer but light is more suited for NW. it's got a pink tone to it as the medium would suit NC better. Im nc25 and i'd go with medium for sure. if my skin was any lighter, i'd go with light.

is anyone getting oily from the TM?... i completely omited my moisturizers ecept for my eye cream, primed my skin, applied the TM and then concealed my cheeks a bit and then finishing powder like usual. but my skin seems to produce more oil than it normally would with my regular foundation

This morning I mixed one part Studio Moisture to one part Studio Sculpt and I am in LOVE. I set it with Natural Skin Finish.

For reference I used my regular NC15 in Sculpt and it was a perfect match to the light.

I hope this helps some of you who aren't liking the Tint.

This is amazing advice - I tried it after having read this yesterday. These products blends so good, and mixed, the Studio Tinted Moisturizer just covers more - results were really nice!

The ingredient he cited was octinoxate, the chemical sunscreen agent. Did they use a different sunscreen in the Euro version?

Mine says it is made in Canada and I cannot find octinoxate in the list of ingredients (maybe I am blind).
Is there another name for the octinoxate?

It can also be called octyl methoxycinnamate or ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, but my tube says it's made in Canada too, and it says "Active ingredient: Octinoxate 3.5%" on the back of the tube, as well as at the beginning of the ingredients on the box.

Re: MAC - Baby Blooms Discussion

I'm not sure if I like it. I've used it three times and each time it seems to get cakey and dry and weird on my cheeks. Maybe it's because I wore heavy blush those days, or put too much Studio Fix or Mineralize powder or something. I will keep experimenting but it seriously ends up looking gross on my cheeks as well as under my eyes. :/ The coverage seems decent enough though!

Re: MAC - Baby Blooms Discussion

The MA that I was speaking to explained to me that unlike foundations that sit on the skin this stuff sinks in and give a glow from within. It does not get released in Oz until 24th August - can't wait.

But I was just wondering, how does this compare to GA Face Fabric?

Many thanks.

Mine is the same as this - I find it strange that it's more or less "highlighted" in US - I mean your tube states that there is 3,5% in the product.

Normally EU are harder with "dangerous" ingredients. So i find it strange that they've just "hidden" the ingredient overhere.....hhhmmmm

I still do like the product, but I'm very careful since I've had some skincancer removed on my face recently - think I'll just chat my doctor up...

I've used the mineralize skinfinish on top - and have had no problem with it....maybe you could benefit from using a cream base underneath your blush products!

are the terms interchangable? because one of the differences in the US/CDN version is octinoxate, but in the rest of the world (ROW) its not octinoxate, its ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate. are they the same thing?

Re: MAC - Baby Blooms Discussion

^ they are the same, just different nomanclatures. i think octinoxate is the accepted collective term for the longer structural nomanclaure ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate. the longer one is named after the actual structure... kinda like how we say water instead of H2O.

Re: MAC - Baby Blooms Discussion

I got the tinted moisturizer recently and i love it! I was a bit skeptical about it since i have never tried tinted moisturizers before. I've worn it twice and i admit i didn't like it at first since i thought it wasn't even but i added another layer and my face looked even and like i have foundation on. I know it is not meant to be a foundation but it gave me great coverage!

Love it and totally recommend it.

I love it too but it does have a slight chemicaly smell which annoys me a little.

Re: MAC - Baby Blooms Discussion

I've been using my TM since last summer. I don't love it, so I'm trying to just finish it up so I can B2M it I usually mix it with a drop of my Quo True Skin TM, which is very silicone-y and makes it blend so well. What I hate is that there is no Light-Medium shade, and I think that's what I would need. I've been using Light, and usually I need to darken it a bit with a drop of something else. I recently got Medium, and it's way too yellow and dark, I don't think it would even work for me in the summer.
