I was looking at the color selection for face & body and i notice they had N shades (N2,N3..) did they always have that? I've been using face and body for years and i've never noticed the N shades before.

Probably N9 which is what I wear as an NW45 too

When compared side by side, the C shades are going to have a much more yellow undertone, and the Ns will look more pink (even though theyre neutral.)

Face and Body for pale skin types

Hi guys

I am at a lost end and need some help.

I am wanting to purchase MAC Face and Body foundation but I am very confused with the shades MAC Face and Body have to offer.
I am pale with cool undertones (veins on wrist look blue).

MAC didn't have Face and Body Foundation avaliable in their lightest shades so I was 'matched' to Studio Fix Fluid instead and bought this in shade NC15. In the shop it looked a nice colour, at home and in natural light it looked too yellow and too dark compaired to my neck for my skin.

I am still wanting to purchase Face and Body Foundation but I haven't a clue which shade to choice. I am guessing shade N1 is a good shade for me as N shade is for cool pink undertones? http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/spp.tmpl?CAT

I just dont want to go orange and too dark again but I would love a liquid foundation that matches me......please can you help me.

Thanks

Re: Face and Body for pale skin types

I have yellow undertones (NC15) and was told to use F&B in C1.

There is a white F&B you can get from MAC Pro and can use it to lighten your shade (to order you can just call MAC Pro).

Getting samples to try from a mac counter before you purchase is your best bet..

Hi again,

I absolutely love, love, love Mac's Face and Body Foundation - but....

I have a bit of a problem with the bottles I purchase appearing to 'go off'. It's like the liquid separates and when you put it on it's almost oilier or something. I try shaking it and everything, but it doesn't seem to work.

It's weird because the first bottle I ever bought was perfect and I had no trouble with it doing this, but the last two have both gone weird on me.

Anyone have any hints/tips on maintaing the life of this foundation???

Thanku in advance!

Re: Mac Face & Body Foundation

I've heard of people decanting some into a separate bottle and then keeping the rest in the fridge until it's needed.

Until recently MAC didn't stock the shade that suited me in Australia, so I've never used it... so I've never actually tried this.

Re: Mac Face & Body Foundation

Has MAC Pro finally stocked lighter shades Redambition?
I gave up on MAC f&b ages ago because the Melb pro store had limited shades.
