I wish I knew the answer...Man, if there were an NW5 foundation, I would buy 10 jars of it at once - and if it were good, of course. But it seems to me that MAC is "tanning" their face products, and at the same time, discontinuing or not offering the lighter skintones...Example? Studio Stick Concealer NW15 has been d/c´d, and the new Mineralize Satinfinish doesn´t have an NW15 version. Not to mention the absence of SPF in most formulas. I hoped MAC would be my lifetime partner for face products, but now I´m so mad, that I´m considering a boycott to the face products. I haven´t made my final decision yet, but really, so disappointing...
