Thank you.
What's your skintype? Which products oxidized on you? Were you using primer underneath?
You're thinking of Mont Blanc. Gobi is the third lightest. I wear Siberia in NARS Sheer Glow. On me, it's just a smidge too yellow, but other than that it's probably the closest matching foundation I've tried to date. (My undertones are neutralish. I've never been matched to a MAC foundation.)
If you're dry, you may want to avoid Mat Velvet+ unless you want a matte finish. I tried it years ago, in the lightest shade (#15 - Alabaster). It oxidized on my combo-to-oily skin.
(MUFE Mat Velvet+ in #15 is on the bottom. The top one is Illamasqua Light Liquid Foundation in #115, which has since been discontinued. The above was taken when I owned both foundations.) I think EL Double Wear also has a matte finish. Swatches from Soundly Sensible Beauty... http://soundlysensiblebeauty.blogspot.com/2014/05/estee-lauder-double-wear-foundation.html Kat Von D Lock It is also full coverage, I believe. I don't think it's a matte finish. Beauty Professor has some swatches of all the shades. http://www.beautyprofessor.net/2013/04/kat-von-d-lock-it-tattoo.html
Yes, Mont Blanc is it.
The only clinique foundation not to go orange on me was perfectly real 01.
Not sure about other formulas, but maybe you could use the MUFE over a hydrating primer? As far as good matches for light skin, maybe see if you can get a sample of Nars Sheer Glow in Siberia. It's definitely a non-drying foundation and Siberia is pale without being pink or yellow in undertone.
I definitely use a hydrating primer underneath! It does work that way, but I'm hoping someday to save some steps, so I'll check out the nars color ASAP! I actually have a friend who lives in Seoul South Korea and she's sending me one of their cushion compacts. I'm hoping that will work since I like that whole dewy look with high spf. South Korea has such great makeup right now and it's so hard to find reputable sellers in the U.S. I do love mufe and it's the closest match I've ever had, so I'll keep it around, I'm just so tired of my multi step process. Like I always have to choose between dewiness OR full coverage, can't have both. Maybe that's unavoidable, but I'm tired of muas selling me stuff they swear is a perfect match and I get home and I'm wearing a mask a shade darker than my skin
I'm really light and everyone else in my family is darker than mac nc40 so foundation too dark for me is just useless. Can't even give it away.
You may not like the forthcoming MUFE Ultra HD, then (it's replacing the current HD formula); supposedly it has less coverage than original HD. You may like NARS Sheer Glow, which Kate already suggested. Definitely more coverage, and it does last. No SPF, but you're never going to get enough sun protection from a foundation anyway. You're better off using a separate sunscreen under your foundation. You could also get the CoverFX Custom Cover Drops (N10 may be light enough for you?) and add a couple of drops to your current foundation to bump up the coverage.
You're probably right about the sunblock
so I'll check out the Nars this weekend and maybe add the cover to bump it up. I read that that brand was really high coverage, like photo shoot coverage. So that sounds like a good plan thanks ladies, I really appreciate it!
Hmm, based on her description, it wouldn't be light enough. Ah well. The hunt for the perfect foundation continues...
Porcelain was way too dark for me.
I saw on their IG that come this fall, they're adding lighter and darker shades to the range. I wish they would have been included in the launch. I'm dying to try this foundation! The new MUFE Ultra HD in Y205 (their lightest shade in the entire range) is pretty much a dead on match for me. Everything else I've tried is always a touch too dark or oxidizes like crazy.
