you should ALWAYS get matched whenever trying a different foundation. you won't always be the same colour throughout all the formulas. even if one formula runs darker than another, it doesn't mean all the shades in that formula will run darker.

NW43 in Studio Sculpt did the same thing the NC50 did so we went with NW45, which looks so much better. That's what I got in the Mineralize Foundation yesterday and what I wore for years in a pressed powder MAC had back in the day!

yeah, they were actually mislabeled. our trainer was shocked when he heard that we never got notice to send em back because of the mislabeling. nc 50 is 55, and nc 55 is 50.

MSFN is a sheer-medium powder coverage. the mineralize spf is medium-builable foundation coverage. the foundation has far more coverage than the powder any day of the week.

. She didnt call it a primer either. I keep thinking it was a metal tube but I'm not sure. Whatever it was it has really helped the makeup stay fresh looking.

the skin refined zone does not minimize your pores. your pores can not/will not ever change size.
it minimizes the APPEARANCE of pores because it exfoliates the debris out of your pores (the debris stretches your pores out).
it also mattifies your skin.
it will not make your makeup stay on longer.
application:
-moisturizer
-skin refined zone (t-zone only)
-foundation

I've told myself this before but seem to always find myself at MAC on a weekend. Grrrr. I'll learn my lesson soon enough

we don't put the brushes in the displayers out my counter because they tend to grow feet and walk away. that, or custies use it, put it back, and then other custies use it after them, before we have time to clean it.

What are you guys using to apply other than the 130 brush? Is the effect the same?
How is the coverage? I need something that will cover acne scarring. Is it buildable?

medium-buildable with the 130 or 191. natural satin finish. best for dry skin, but any skin can use it.
