MAC Matchmaster-did you find your perfect match? - Page 4

Me too!!
 

 

I wonder as well.

I haven't noticed it oxidize on myself, but a lot of folks complain about it. I also set my liquid foundations with powder anyway, so maybe that creates a barrier to it oxidizing (?) No harm in trying it out. I use MSF.

I hate mixing foundations too, but for my NW 45/47-ish skin, 8.5 mixed with 9.0, looked pretty decent! I only swatched this combo the first time I tried it, but I wore it all day yesterday on my face and it didn't disappoint.

ive noticed without a primer or base it oxidizes on me very noticeably. and if i put any setting powder with any color in it whatsoever it darkens up a lot. im using a 3 which is a tiny bit too dark but hopefully in the next few months with some sun it will match better for me. i do like the finish and it seems pretty long lasting to me though

I tried matchmaster in 5.5 and 6 and OMG 6 was so perfect!! I usually just use a tinted moisturizer coz my face feels so packed on if I use a foundation but this was so light.

 

anyone know wat matchmaster in 6 is equal to NW/NC?? it would be a geat help in picking blush etc.im just starting out in make-up.

Thanx califabulous! your bang on the money! NC42 it is! Im so going shopping soon! he he <3

I am an NC50 and I purchased 7.5 and I must say I have been wearing it for a week and I am in love. I love how my skin looks with this foundation...it is become my go-to hands down. I would recommend it for all those with oily skin, I am in heaven!

I started mixing my match master with my mineralized satin finish. The color is perfect now and it doesn't oxidize.

As much as I love how this foundation looks on me...I think I am allergic to it...sadness!

 

So, I finally got around to trying this foundation. I'm an NC50 and decided to pick up 8.0. 7.5 may be better for the winter months because it seems that I have gotten a slight tan here is this Cali sun despite being faithful with my sunscreen. I guess if I didn't wear it I would be worse off. I'm actually liking this foundation. It hasn't oxidized on me, very little transfer and most days I don't even set it . I have another 2 weeks before my 30 days is up to find enough wrong with it to return it.

i bought the 7.5 today after taking pics with it and liking the natural looking finish that it gives me. I just need a good setting powder for it. What are you ladies setting this foundation with? I was thinking of buying the Careblend powder even though I have combination skin that leans towards the oilier side...

I'm the same shade. Did you ever find a good setting powder? The MUA used a Setting Powder in Deep but I am not sure if it was Studio/Careblend or Blot powder...but I told her I have dry skin so probably Studo/Careblend in Deep might work. 

Did you end up keeping it?

Match master did not work for me. My supposed shade turned me beet red and the shade below me was way to light. 

^^I have this problem with most "matching" foundations. My search continues!

I've been eyeing the Matchmaster foundation since it first came out. It sounds like the perfect solution for me considering the NC range is too... orange and the NW range makes me look pink. Someone described it as the NC/NW range fused into one so perhaps it'll work for me.  If a 6 is an NC 42.. then a 5 would be NC 40 right? I want to pick up a sample of this tomorrow.
