I agree with Mac-Guy.
OK thanks much!
That colour order is running from dark to light. Medium deep is the darkest of the 3, medium deep is darker than medium dark, which is darker than medium plus. So you're working backwards, getting lighter. The next shade up (darker) would be dark.So I FINALLY got my hands on this in liquid form. First she tried Medium Deep (?) but it was too light. Then she tried Medium Dark which looked fine in the store. But once I tried it out on my own...it was TOO LIGHT!hboy: I should have known better! But once I put on my MSFN in Medium Deep it was fine. Would Medium Plus be the next shade up? I'm NC43 for reference.
So let me see if I've got this...from lightest to darkest, is it Medium Plus, Medium Dark, then Medium Deep? I wish I asked her which shade she tried initially. Possibly Medium Plus as it was lighter than Medium Dark. Do you think I should skip Medium Deep and just try Dark? I don't trust the Macy's MAC counter lighting anymore..that's where I bought it and will have to return it. Perhaps I could get a sample of both Medium Deep and Dark? Sorry for all of the questions. I would hate to exchange this item more than once.
You got it! If you can get samples, I'd go that route first. I think daek is gonna be the best colour, since people are saying this runs a tad light. But try to get samples first, and then buy.
I got the same shade as a sample cause they were out of Medium plus which the gal at the counter recommended for my NC35 skin. I personally think medium matches ok for me cause I don't wear it alone I put a little bit of NC35 Studio fix powder over it. I really like the way it makes my skin look flawless But I'm still debating if I should get Medium or Medium plus I have to wait til my store gets some more Medium plus in to sample
OK. Thanks Erin! What would I do without you?
Erie,
. I was told the liquid is best for oily skin which I'm scratching my head cause wouldn't liquid make you look more greasy compared to the compact . I'm confused
I'm not Erie, but I figured I'd reply anyway. xDErie,
I need to pick your brain for your knowledge lol... Ok! So I usually wear studio fix in the powder form and the Mac Store I go to I asked the gal if I can apply the liquid BB Cream under my studio fix and she said yes lightly. Is that correct?? or is that incorrect you think. She also recommended Medium Plus for me I'm a NC35 but they were out and she gave me a sample of Medium which seems to be a little light but not too bad. In your opinion which one is better the liquid form or the compact. I was told the compact one isn't good for oily skin which I have
Ok !! Cool Thanks Doll!! Do you think Medium plus is a better match for NC35 ?? I have a sample of Medium right now
:winkiss:OK. Thanks Erin! What would I do without you?
For NC35 I'd go with at least the med plus. Medium is gonna be too light. Depending on what you use to apply you SF with, it's almost worthless to use the BB underneath SF because it has so much coverage. I'd recommend the MSFN (natural) or even CB (matte) if you're gonna wear a powder over the BB, depending in the finish you want, just because the BB imparts a more natural, softer look. Using the SF on top takes away from that. And as [@]AllyDVon[/@] mentioned, the compact is for drier skin, The liquid is for oilier skin.Erie, I need to pick your brain for your knowledge lol... Ok!

Ok!! I'm going to try your recommendations next time Thanks!
I agree with Ernie, you should get at least medium plus. The only plus to using BB cream under SF if you are wanting extra coverage is that it's a primer, but in my opinion, I'd save BB cream for when I want a lighter coverage and sun protection. But, like I said, you can dust SF on top if you're wanting even more coverage. If you're looking for a regular primer, I think you should try Natural Radiance, it still gives that illuminating look from the optical pealized pigments and is really awesome from oily skin!
I picked up one in Amber yesterday but have yet to try it!
Which one are you interested in?
I'd use them like the Skinsheen bronzers.
