I'm a NC50 and I got C7 and it works perfect for me. you should got and get a sample before you buy a full bottle
I know... it was a few years ago and I was new to mac and makeup in general. I really liked the face and body but the color was just off.... since then I have learned to not be ashamed to asked for samples and I also discovered this awesome place name Specktra

it's you money and you should be comfortable in your purchase. Samples are awesome and most last like a week so you can tell if you really like the product

I just want to say that if Black Opal True Finish foundation in Nutmeg were a tinge more yellow I would consider making it a regular player in my rotation.

Grrrrl, Cocoa Medium in the liquid and Cocoa in the Powder. Use them together (I know you are oily). LOVE. This is my special occasion foundation. Wears very nicely and pretty long. PERFECT shade match and feels weightless on. You need to give it time to dry down a bit before you powder. :eyelove:

You have got to tell me which shade - Golden? Amber? Spice? These are the ones that have been recommended for me so far. Please also tell us how the wear is - does it "stay matte", does it wear long?

So my shade was Golden 24. I was not overly impressed with the wear but the color match was great. By lunch time I noticed a tad more oil on my nose than with my daily CGQ collection that I usually wear. By the the end of my day even more so. It wasn't terrible by now means. It just didn't do any more that the drugstore brand did so I'm returning it todY. For the not so oily girl it would be an awesome high end find bc it's only 23 bucks I think.

I also tried the Kat Von D lock it tattoo foundation in deep 66. Oxidized dark on me. Could probably fix that by using a different bronzer combination bc I used one that really warms up red too. But I won't give it a 2nd chance bc I'm ALLERGIC. Got 4 GREAT LARGE BUMPS on my face with yuck in them from using this foundation. So back she goes too. Dying to try Marc jacobs soon but need a coupon or some samples or both. Lol lol.

i hear this is not a good one for picture at all i many just go to Sephora and get a sample
Could you come back and report on this? I am really interested in this foundation, but I had a bad experience and need to hear the thoughts of some more WOC before I try again. I am especially intrigued by the idea of using it with the Naked powder.

Sure! it is so hard to find a foundation that is dark enough but not too orangey
