If no one here can answer then I would recommend asking a makeup artist via the MAC website for advice

It sounds like it isn't the right shade for you. I would suggest trying various brands until you find one the correct shade. You may want to look at Bobbi Brown, Prescriptives, Armani, Chanel and Shiseido.

You probably need a foundation that has a more yellow undertone to counteract any pink areas of your face IMO. I also advise you to check out Laura Mercier, NARS or Bobbi Brown. Not Shiseido, because I find their foundations to always have a pink undertone.
It can also be an alergic reaction.

so i thought it may be the studio tech, so i got matched for the mineralized satinfinish in NC30 as well. the weird thing about this one is that it does the opposite. it looks FINE as soon as i apply it on... but after several hours it oxidizes into this strange orange/pink color that makes me look like i have a mask. i'm thinking MAC foundations aren't really cut out for me
i'll try some other foundations from different lines. thanks everyone for the suggestions!! i guess i should just think of GOOD foundation as an investment (though i've got to say that one of the reasons i was attracted to MAC's was the lower price in comparison to the other department store lines)
woee~

MAC's foundation shades just aren't right for lots of people. I'd look at Bobbi Brown instead.

I am very cool toned and things will turn pink on me. I wear NW15. I can't wear several lines, because they will turn pink on me. I can wear Bobbie Brown & Aveda foundation too.
