Hey ladies I was wondering what u guys like for a sheer-medium finish foundation? I want one that looks natural (and colour matches me- my mufe mat velvet plus is a smidge dark and the finish is more of a full-on finish, not natural for everyday, going to class lol) yet gives more of a matte finish since I have oily skin. It would be nice too if it didnt transfer alot...it can be liquid or powder

Thanx in advance!

I use the Mac Mineralized Powder foundation in Deep Dark or MSF Natural in Dark or Deep Dark. I buff the MSF Natural in with a kabuki and as for the Mineralized powder I apply it with a sponge dampened with Fix+ or buff it. Both give me a really natural sheer/medium finish depending on how much I apply. They don't do much for keeping oil at bay but you just need to blot during the day with powder or blotting papers and you are good to go.

I purshased MUFE face and body a week ago, and it definitly is sheer and leave a natural no make up look. I am NW45 the center of my face and nw47 around the edge (so I was told) and bought #46. #44 would have worked too and may be more of your shade if you are a true nw45. I wear #80 in matt velvet.

Surely Nars does. I am NW 45/NW 47 and I wear Nars Sheer Matte and Sheer Glow in Tortuga. There is a darker shade as well, probably better for NW47/NW50.

This is what I do as well. I'm so over liquid foundations. If you MUST do liquid, go for MUFE Face and body.

I like Mary Kay Bronze 3 mineral foundation. I use it instead of liquids sometimes and it's great because I can build coverage.

Unfortunately, Sephora does not carry the line color range; they don't carry about 10 or so colors. I am between NW45/NW47. I bought my Sheer Matte at Nordstrom. You can also purchase it on narscosmetics.com.

i am a little bit darker than NW45. I mix MUFE Face and Body #46 with just a tad of #48....I don't really like it. I am oily and it gives me a greasy look, not dewy at all.

I agree about the MSF Natural pressed powder... Or if you need a little more coverage do the Mineralize Satinfinish Foundation...

I've tried estee lauder and bobbi brown. Estee lauder gave me a good foundation match but it was too heavy for me, as well as bobbi brown. I love nars sheer glow(new guinea) sheer matte(new guinea), and MUFE in mat velvet(70), and face and body. I went to the MUFE store and they had to mix number 44 and 18 to get a true match I loved the results!

Just like many others have said, I would chose a face and body foundation (MUFE works better for me than MAC) or the mineralize skinfinish option if you are looking for powder. I wish I could find the full Nars collection in a store.

^I recently purchased Mac Studio Tint in Deep Dark. For me this is instant HG.

It's just perfect if you are looking for a really light and sheer liquid foundation. I set it with MSF natural and it is beautiful and glowy. So far I have not had any reactions or breaks outs. It is most definitely worth checking out.

Most Nordstrom stores carry the full Nars foundation collection.
