I really like this foundation! I don't use it for my everyday foundation but I use it for when I have am going on a night out. This is the only Mac foundation I am a big fan of. I like the...

I love the scent it is so different from any other perfume I have ever had.

I have the soft ocher paint pot and I have to say I'm not a big fan. For the price I paid for it I was expecting it to make my eye shadows really pop and keep them from creasing. It did keep them...

Overall, I think this is a great foundation for most people. It's definitely for normal-to-dry skin in my opinion. I have combo skin and my cheeks loved the hydration. However, my T-zone got...

I know it says eye makeup remover, but I use it all over my face to remove makeup. I would suggest saturating a cotton pad and then placing it over your eye for a few seconds to let the...

I want to help you, but am confused about what you mean by gets on the side of your nose? like in the crack on the sides of your nostrils? a good blending brush could help this.... like the #109 from MAC which gives me perfect application every time. Also, do you use a primer? Setting spray? Let me know and i will try my best to help you figure it out.

Hi macupsif, thanks for helping me with this issue. I probably did a very poor job explaining my issue. For the primer ?, I switch it up b/c I've yet to find my HG primer. I've tried UDPP- but I don't like it, I actually haven't found any UD things that I really like. I use Painterly often & I've gotten my hands on a few more PP that I use as a Primer. Also, sometimes I'll use a primer from Tarte. What I mean about the side of my nose is the area below where my eyebrows stop and the left and right side of the bridge of my nose. It's just the area by the eye, nothing crazy like by my my nostrils LOL! I have all the right brushes but I just can't figure out how to clean up my nose area without it looking strange. Does this make sense?
Thanks for trying to help me out. You'd think I'd never worn make up before or that I am a teenager but I've just renewed my interest in MU and I'm trying to up my game with my techniques and adding things to my repertoire like primers, my new love of highlighters and may try out /attempt a bronzer with the Hey Sailor release coming out. I'm a NC20 & I love my paleness & got a ton of flack for it growing up in FL, so I don't know if I am a bronzer girl. Anyhow, now that I have totally babbled on and on...Thanks for trying to help me out.
Are you a UF, FSU or UM supporter?
Have a great day.

Do you use an eye cream that may be causing the makeup to slip? I use the MAC skin base visage and it seems to work better than anything else I have tried thus far (Makeup forever HD and porefessional face primer from benefit.)
If its the area on the sides of the nose where you may put shadow, try something like the naked pigment just to fill in the area if you feel it's lacking MU.
I hope i'm understanding more and helped you out in some way. Oh, and just because you're pale doesn't mean you can't use a bronzer! Sometimes when i'm on the lighter side, I like to use it as a blush with a pretty highlighter.
A lot of people I know attend UF and FSU, so I am definitely a supporter of those schools.
Have a good one.

Hi Spanky. I think I understand what you mean. When you apply powder eyeshadow, does the dust get flicked against the side of your nose?
If that's the problem, here is what you can do. When applying makeup, do your eye makeup first, followed by foundation and concealer. Instead of sweeping the brush over the lid, pat the eyeshadow on. You want to press the shadow against the lid and lift the brush away cleanly. During blending, instead of sweeping from side to side, blend outwards away from the nose, using small circular motions. You can also hold a tissue over the area to catch any shadow fallout. If all else fails, you might want to use only cream based products.
I do hope that helps!
