I really want to try these too but I have to wait till the next pay. So do these run lighter or darker? I've been reading this thread and it seems like some folks find them darker and some lighter. Did anyone around NW30 try this yet? If so plz let me know what the verdict is....

i use my NW concealer under my eyes and around my nose/upper cheek area just to even out my skin tone in those areas. i don't really have puffyness or discoloration under my eyes....do you think should i be using NC instead if my foundation is NC? I do notice that the NW is quite pink, but once i blend it in it seems to look fine. I also apply concealer before my foundation.

I'm NC15 in Studio Fix Fluid and a 117 in MUFE HD, so I am hoping that the NC15 in studio sculpt will be the same, probably either NC15 or NC20.

The coverage IMO is just like SFF which is great & it feels really nice & light on the skin. After applying it I buffed some blot powder over it to matte it out & it looked really nice. After a few hours I did start to get pretty shiny & not just in my T-zone, but all over. So I buffed some more blot powder on top & it matted it out again just fine. A few hours later when I got home, I checked my face in the bathroom mirror & I was still really matte & saw that the foundation wears really well. Over all I was very pleasantly surprised on how it did with my super oily skin. I thought I was going to be touching up every 30 minutes, but that wasn't the case at all! So, if you are oily don't be afraid to try this! Just make sure you have blot powder on hand for little touch-ups, which you have to do with any foundation anyway. I can see myself alternating between this & my SFF. I give it 2

Also, I wore this foundation today, but it didn't look very good...it looked good yesterday, but I think it's b/c I used my dirty 109 - eww. I was in a hurry this morning and didn't have time to clean, and I think that's why it looks gross today.

Ok where to start...

I'm not a liquid foundation lover.. I hate it, so wasn't really waiting for a miracle with this foundation (all my hopes were in the concealers..) but! It was love at first use!

This foundation is so easy to apply and looks great, you look natural AND most important of all for me : the feeling is so natural too! my skin still breath.

So if you didn't try it go and do so! right now!

For the shades: they are definitively different. They changed the undertone or I don't know what : I personally think it would be a great thing to try it first prior to buy. Some person still fits with their usual shades but others got new love on others ones.. it's just not the same. (At least that's what my eyes are telling me.. yours may say something different..)

(I'm still playing with the concealer I'll review it later..)

**PS I'm happy for the color change because this color is perfect on my skin, it doesn't look like a foundation color it looks like a skin color.... how can I say that.. : like it has more life to it !? **

**Before I was NC20. I was mixing some NW20 because my skin is already pretty yellow. But with SSF in NC15; I look flawlessly natural.**

Here are my NW20s side by side. My inner arm doesn't seem to match my NW20 face at all, but you can compare the different products.

The far right on my arm is my Studio Touch Up Stick and the far left is my Studio Finish Concealer. I included a picture for reference, so you can see what each product is and all are NW20:

I have more concealers and foundations than I could ever possibly use and these are my NC20s. They seem to match my arm better than the NWs for my face.

Starting from far left --

Studio Finish Concealer
Studio Sculpt Concealer
Select Tint
Studio Sculpt Foundation
Select Cover-Up
far right is my Studio Touch Up Stick.

Btw I am originally NC35 and these do run light. I ended up with NC37 and in the concealer NW30 for under eyes. Oh and I have Warmed MSF on my cheeks and Petite Indulgence on my lips =)

I bought the new foundation and concealer today. I can't wait to try it. I am just praying that it doesn't break me out. Has anyone used this with a smashbox primer yet?

Honestly, I don't think you'll need a primer. I don't even moisturize that much when I used the foundation.

I wore the foundation for two days and it hasn't broke me out yet.
