WOC: Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation

I'm a SFF nw45 , matchmaster 7.5 and they tried 10 on me and it was too ashy. I tried 11 on and it looked fine in store (damn deceptive lighting lol) but when i got home and took photos of it- there was GHOST face killah LOL. When I'm back in the States I will try 12 and photograph it and sees if that one works. I kinda feel like if you're darker than nw45 this foundation might be too ashy for you...
I had the SAME issue. I'm matched perfectly with a 9 cause 10 has way too much red in it. But as soon as I took pictures ... Casper your friendly ghost. And I soooo wanted to love this foundation. Thinking if I finish it with a Nars loose powder or MUFE loose maybe the ghost look wouldn't show up in pictures.

Same here!
I wondered if you were going to try it. I remember you saying your undertones do the same as mine. Yellow in winter, and the red pops out in the summer. We are golden red.

I'm not sure what UDecay was thinking about with this foundation.

I am tripping that 7 was recommended by them based on my current shades. I know I'm inbtwn colors b/c of my tan, but I can't believe NOTHING worked. LOL I so appreciate Bobbi Brown foundation philosophy now.

I have this foundation and was matched with shade 8.0 from the website (it has you identify your shades in MAC, MUFE, etc and gives a number)
the only mac foundation I was is F&B I'm C6, MUFE HD 173 and 18 in F&B, NARS Cadiz and I have drier skin

when I swatched it, seemed too red for me. I have golden/yellow undertones but the first time I wore it, it was great! matched very well and lasted all day long
the second time I tried it...it seemed too light. I had to darken it a bit with my MSF.
there wasn't a huge gap in time between the first and second use so I don't think I'd gotten much of a tan...so I don't know what that was about.

I'm going to continue using it, I actually like it a lot. the coverage is just what I like, pretty light but covers what I need well.

Completely forgot that's how we work for some reason. What foundations do you like(I know you are lighter though)?

LOL I still haven't tried BB yet, I'm assuming 6.5 is my shade. I'll just stick with the trusty Revlon foundation in Caramel.

The love is gone....by the end of a week of wear, I had a terrible breakout. It was my first return ever, I felt bad. I had hoped to exchange for YSL Touché Éclat, but my shade wasn't in stock. I'm sure Sephora will get my money soon enough anyhow. I'm sticking with Teint idole until my "winter skin" arrives.

I'm and nc45 and I went to a Macy's that sells UD, I immediately picked up a number 8 or something and it was sooo effing light on my skin. The counter manager instructed me that the point five shades will look too pink/red. I ended up putting on number 11 and it was perfect.

I really wanted this foundation to work for me I'm a C6 in Mac Sudio Fix powder the Sales associate at Ulta matched me to #8 but it looks grayish on my skin and #9 also didn't match. I think it doesn't have enough yellow to work with my skin tone.

I'm NC44 and they recently put #8 on me at a UD event. NOT. It was also grayish on me. I agree, I think they seriously lack yellow undertones. UD really needs to go back to the drawing board with these, at least with the darker shades.

has anyone who's a MAC SFF NW45(too yellow for peripherals)/ Bobbi Brown Natural finish Almond 7.0 (too red) tried this foundation as yet? I was thinking that I might be a 10 or 11 in this foundation... I really want it or the Matchmaster to work because I'm tired of mixing the SFF and the BB to get my colour...
Im also a NW45 in the SFF and Powder so I bought 10 and 11 and both work fine. I noticed that in the summer Im more of a 11 and the winter a 10. sometimes I mix them.

Thank ya'll for giving me permission to pitch my foundation in #8. It was always off and now I know that cast was greyness. I knew it needed warming up, but couldn't put my finger on the issue. Kept thinking it was just me. Now I get to buy a new foundation from my current list!!!

I completely missed this. I was using bb 6 and sometimes 6.5. Now I'm just doing concealer and msfn deep.

Deep? PP isn't that too dark for you?
Yes, I had to pull it out, I'm using dark. But that might be too dark b/c when I went out with friends Tuesday, they thought I had on bronzer.

This makes my skin oily though. I have to find a new combo. Maybe I'll just go back to my bb long wear.

tasneem2327 - I'm guessing 5 or 6, but it's always hard to say in photos. What shades do you wear in some other foundation brands?

PP I'm not really feeling my MSFN either. It does nothing for my skin.
