I picked up a couple samples at my local MAC today, NC15 and NC20. I'm normally between the two. The SA said that this foundation tends to oxidize a bit, so the NC15 will probably be a better color, assuming it doesn't go yellow or orange. I haven't worn them on my face yet, just tested them on my inner arm. So i'll report back after i give them a run.
That probably won't be until Monday or Tuesday at the earliest, since i'll be away at a special even this weekend, recreating a visit to courtly villa in 1570s Ferrara, Italy, complete with a feast composed of dishes from that time.

Don't want to get it online? Lancome offers free UPS ground shipping on orders of $49 or more.

I know this is kinda off topic but had anyone ever tried desert essence concealer? I wanted to try light but I don't know if it's light enough for me.

I got a sample of this foundation today even though I would say that my skin in combination. I was matched to NC44. I'm going to test it tomorrow.

ugh naked skin is making skin look even drier. sheer glow is not bad but again not even close to moisturizing.
you should try either lancome teint miracle - i have normal-dry skin and is my HG or YSL touche eclat that one is great for dry skin too
Are you using a damp brush to apply the foundation? Try spraying it with Fix+ or even just plain water so that it's only slightly damp, and not soaked. That might help with application.

Yes, I always spritz my foundation brushes with fix+. It seems to help them not soak up so much product. I also moisturized and primed with pure radiance (love that stuff). It went on smoother with my fingers. I just have an aversion to using my fingers! Lol!

Can the lids be removed on these?
Purchased this in NC30 today and now that I got home I realize that the tester the MUA tried on me oxidized too much and now it's too yellow for my skin tone. Too lazy to drive back to the MAC store to return it! It's BNIB, if anyone wants it I'll sell it for $25 shipped. PM if interested.

To begin with I want to say hello, because this is my first post here The day before yesterday, I got two samples from Mac, in NC25 and NC30, and I've already tried NC30. In my opinion it isn't too much greasy for my dry skin, but I'm used to use slightly oily foundations as Chanel Vitalumiere (but too oily for me) or l'oreal lumi magique (I like it). I wonder did you see a little sparkles in this foundation? I noticed that in my NC30 are little kind of silver sparkles... I don't prefer this kind of luminous so I want to ask, do I see good or it was (I hope) only my impression...? What else... generally I like this foundation and I think about purchase full bottle of it. The cover is for me light to medium but buildable, texture is light but a little creamy, generally I like it In my opinion, I can recomend it for really dry skin, not oily but dehydrated. And it really hydrates!

I'm still undecided on this foundation. I went back yesterday and picked up a sample of the NC15 because I felt like the NC20 was the wrong color after oxidizing. Boo. But I'm gonna keep trying. I haven't used my bottle of it yet... just the samples. I don't want to waste good product just cause I don't like it. Also, I feel like after it wears down that it gets splotchy. Which is not cute. Maybe it'll be different now that I have the NC15 though. It might wear down to my natural coloring better.

OK. I've decided to return it. I'm not as big of a fan of it as I thought I'd be. Bummer.

Still haven't tried my samples yet. Sorry
Nearly ran out of gas on a narrow twisty windy road through the mountains, with plenty of hairpin turns. Fortunately there was a gas station a few miles from the event site. The 1570s feast was spectacular! Everyone in appropriate clothing - the food was cooked from late 16th c. Italian recipes and served in the period manner - Yum! - with interludes of late 16th c music played live and followed by 16th c. dancing to more live music.
Slept in an unheated cabin - we had to bring our own bedding and anticipating the cold i brought several down-filled items, so i was warm and toasty.
Then i woke up yesterday morning with a flat tire. AAA found me pretty quickly, in our rustic event location (looked like the tow guy lived nearby), and put on one of those awful tiny spares. I live too far to drive home on the "donut", so i either had to get a new tire or fix the old one if that was possible. It wasn't easy finding an open tire shop on a Sunday. But i finally managed to find one and get my tire repaired. Was almost late to gamelan rehearsal Sunday afternoon. Whew.
So i'll try the foundation tomorrow.
BTW, the SA at my local MAC recommended mixing the Mineralize Moisture Foundation with Strobe Cream and she gave me a sample of that, too. That will make it more moisturizing, but will add sparkle. I don't know if it will have any effect on the oxidation...

Today I used up the rest of my sample of this foundation and I am not going to invest in the full size bottle. My skin is very dry and this foundation still leaves my face looking shiny almost greasy and Im just not a fan of this look. So no Mineralize Moisture foundation added to my collection.
