Another 'try before you buy' vote--I was told that these colors are not the same as the standard MAC foundation colors when I called about these. These weren't yet at my local MAC yesterday--I'm hoping next week.

Sorry ladies, no review, just an assumption based on my experience with pretty much every other cream to powder foundation I have tried. But esp. the Mineralize one.What did you read that made them sound like a hot greasy mess? Did you see a review? Link please!!

Ok. I know this may not be the best swatch but I wanted to show you guys the coverage level and color match.
On my hand I have a butterfly tattoo and then I put a layer of the prolongwear over it. It almost feels like a creamy powder. When I come back from lunch I will put it on my face and take a picture.

So today I am wearing the Pro Longwear compact. I applied it with clean fingers because it feels very dry and I thought the heat from my hands would help warm it up and blend. So far so good. I have combo skin so the drier texture is ok for me but I could see this being a nightmare for drier skin. I put it on at around 8:15 this morning. I'm interested to see how it wears and if it oxidixes and all that jazz.....Anywho here is another collage of pics. For reference I have been matched to NW45 and NC50 in store. I can wear MSFN in Deep in the winter and Deep Dark in warmer months.

Thank you!!! It lasted pretty good. I was impressed. checked my face at throughout the day and I was not oily at all- and I usually get very shiny/oily in the t-zone. I washed my face at around 8:45 last night and it still looked pretty good. I didn't use a primer or anything. Yesterday I applied it with my fingers and it gave a very nice natural coverage. Today i spritzed my face with a little fix plus and used my Shiseido foundation brush and it is still very natural but it definitely took it up a level. If my hair wasn't a hot ass mess I would have taken a picture. ( I will be getting that taken care of tomorrow

These are the brushes that I have that seem to apply it the best in my opinion because of the texture of it. Oh and I have also ordered the Tarte Airbuki foundation brush. Did I mention that I am also a brush whore!!! LOL!!!
