I went in to get matched yesterday for the launch of the Matchmaster foundation. This has to be it. I am in between every shade in the other formulas. I used the chart online to select the color to try. 7.0 was too light but 7.5....omg. I saw my face. finally. Not ashy not tanned but my color. I think this stuff works! I want to know if anyone has tried it and what you think about it. I want to know if NW43/NC50/NC55 can wear this color. But also I want to know if ladies of all shades found a match!!

I got 2 samples last night from 2 different counters. One thought I should be an 8.0 (which I think may be a tad dark) and the other I asked for a 7.5. I haven't tried either yet though.

Ok ladies. I don't really have any plans on going anywhere today but I was very anxious to test out my sample. I put it on about 20 minutes ago and so far I really like it. I like the color (7.5) and coverage so far. I patted it in and swept it lightly with my MAC 190 brush. Now lets see how it wears for the rest of the day. Since I'm not going anywhere I should've tried the 8.0 since I think it will be a tad too dark. This foundation is pretty. I swept a tad bit of MSF Dark on but I may have not really needed it because this foundation gives a nice matte finish. I almost hate to just sit at home all day with it on. LOL! I might have to go out. LOL!

YES go out! car wash, target, starbuck's-it doesn't matter! lol. and please follow up again. i am still uber excited. I need to take a nap or something :) Yea the MA used very little MSF natural just at the forehead and chin-the brush barely touched my face. After I took a really intense nap AND lounged on the couch face-to-pillow It had worn slightly...8hours or so. I def could have used a touch up but my tone was still even and I had barely any shine. i would have run to the store and back just like that. I hope others comment too b/c this can't be as good as it seems

Great. I'm almost out of my MAC Studio Fix Fluid and I think I will be getting a bottle of this. Heck I might get it before I run out of SFF. Haha!!

I got a sample of the 8.0 yesterday but it's too dark so imma try the 7.5. Even though the 8.0 was a little to dark , I did like the finish of it. Also I didn't clean my face last night and I woke up this morning with very little transfer on my pillow. I'm excited for this foundation, I sure hope 7.5 matches me better

Yeah, the 7.5 may be better for you. Please let us know.

Since I figured I may take a trip to Burlington Coat Factory I decided to finish my face. MAC's Swell Baby all over the lid with Shadowy Lady e/s in the crease and outer corners with the lightest color from the Gentle Fumes quad on the browbone. Lined and mascara'd with my usual blacks, a little MAC Slave to Love blush. Lips lined with MAC's Nightmoth liner, then added WnW's 919B (Vamp It Up) lipstick and tad bit of Revlon's Lilac Pastelle to finish it off. This is such a pretty lip combo! I had been thinking of doing a look with Swell Baby so decided to try this look today.

Ok so I've worn this foundation for a good 8 hours and I still like it. Other than the space of skin between my eyebrows that seems to have a shine no matter what, (not sure why because it doesn't seem like it's an oily shine) I never had to blot today. The color stayed the same. Didn't get darker or ashy or any of that. I'm just now getting ready to go wash it off and will be giving it another trial run on tomorrow.

I picked up two samples: 7.5 and 8.0. Today I wore the 7.5 and was absolutely pleased with the look.

according to the chart 8.5 should be the best color for me but the mua recommended that I try the 9. I'm loving it. I didn't have to reapply or reset my powder all day and I used much less product than usual. I wear SFF and mufe mat velvet.

Day 2's trial run went equally well. I wore it from about 1:30pm until 10:30pm. It wore well. I didn't have to use blot powder or a blot sheet today. I even kept checking my mirror every chance I got to make sure I didn't look shiny or oily. I'm surprised my husband didn't ask why the hell I keep looking at myself. LOL! He probably remembered I told him I'm testing a new foundation.

I've decided to test out the 8.0 sample today. It's a tad bit darker in the jar than the 7.5 but not as dark on the skin as I thought it would be. I'll see how it wears throughout the day.

i went and picked up this foundation yesterday. i love the finish and look of it! i'm an nw47 in studio fix and got 9.0. But according to the conversion chart, i should be in 8.5. the 9.0 was a tad light or red or something for my face but it definitely made my face match my body (my face is like a shade or two darker than my body) and looked fabulous on. didn't oxidize on me or turn shiny at all. i really like this foundation so far but it stands to be seen if this will break me out like the studio fix.

I tried it out yesterday, along with face and body and left with face and body and a sample of 7.5. I loved how it looked in the store. When it comes to mac, I am always worried about breakouts. I also tried out the new Chanel and some MUFE foundations. SO we will see which ones I get.
 
Yes! I am between a NC45-NC50 and can also wear a NW43 (depending on the time of the year).
7.0 was a perfect match for me!
