I've only ever tried Select SPF in NC 30, which I got after the makeover that started my Mac obsession. Even then I don't wear it all that often because I got into BE mineral foundation, but I'm feeling the need to experiment.
I'm so confused about the difference between Select fluid, Studio Fix fluid, Hyperreal, and the Studio Fix and Studio Tech powders, moisture blend, studio stick, etc etc.
I'm 43 with fine lines and not so fine lines, unfortunately. My skin is still combo (T-Zone), but really oil is not much of a problemm anymore and I think my skin is starting to lean more towards the dry side. And lots of product that promise glowiness or shimmer just make my pores look huge, unfortunately, though I still keep hoping. No bad blemishes, scars or breakouts but sometimes get redness near my nose that I need to conceal. Rarely if ever do I have a problem with makeup irritating my skin. Kind of neutral toned in that I have somewhat rosy cheeks, some freckles and burn easily but also definite yellow undertones.
What are the pros and cons of the various foundations, in your opinion? Or your HG? Maybe I should just try select tint? It seems a lot of people here use studio fix and I'm itching to try something new; have never really done a powder or creme foundation beyond the MMU stuff. It's hard to know where to begin with all these choices! And how does NC-30 in Select compare to the shades in other choices?
