I'd really like to hear something, honestly anything about the waterweight powder. i can't make it to a mac store easily, and feel like just in theory I'd like this but who knows?

I got it today. Beautiful silky texture. I like it.
Not crazy about the wat. concealer. it is very sheer and seems to run much darker than the others from mac. i ordered nw20 which I always use and it is significantly darker I will have to exchange for nw15. I do not like how sheer it is barely covers anything. Feels lightweight too.

What shade did you get in the compact?

light plus. it's perfect. i also wear light plus in msfn, careblend etc..waterweight foundation i wear nc20. studio fix fluid nc20 is a bit too dark for me, i am more in between nc15/20

i got the concealer now in nw15 to try it.

Counter manager told me it runs darker so I got nw 15 - ok it is SUPER white! I am so bummed about the shade range - nw 20 so dark nw15 ghostly white. Will take some photos today to show you

also I would love to get some advice how to make this work in the terms of coverage. maybe i need that new triangle brush because applied with fingers it doesn't cover anything.

i just bought the waterweight foundation in nc42. what brush do you guys apply with? or do you use sponge/fingers? i've been using the 130, but not sure it's the right one...
i found the mineralize skinfinish in dark helped me achieve the right colour match...i wonder if i should get the same shade in the powder? do they also run darker?

I think denser shorter brush works the best. I use 196 since it was released with the fouundation

L-R prolongwear nw20, studio finish nw20, waterweight nw20 and nw15

nw20 is SO MUCH darker while nw15 is light but wrong undertone - no pinkish in it (or not enough)

Ugh. Yeah, that's a weird shade range.
I agree on it not being pink enough, but I'm used to that with MAC concealers. The only good match is the Studio Finish one which I use daily and can't live without. But for the eye area I have to look to other brands.
