I’ve seen many of these threads on the internet and find them very useful so I hope this may prove useful for some of you out there. I thought it might be a useful tool for any of you out there who are of a similar colouring and/or skin type as me, medium skin tone with warm, yellow undertones, for me to list all the foundations I’ve used and what shade I am in each one when I am tanned (equivalent to MAC NC35-NC40) and when I’m not so tanned (equivalent to MAC NC25-NC30). Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation is Medium 6 My ‘Evening’ and Favourite for Filming Foundations. If you have oily skin with blemishes and spots, this foundation will make you look flawless having normal to dry skin type! I always wished to have a normal to dry skin type like my mom, and I can finally look and feel that way with just a foundation.My Foundations.

No oiliness at all, just natural matte skin. The foundation stays intact all day which i like.

I top it up with Maxfactor crème compact powder and I am good to go. Face naturally looks smooth and flawless without obvious fake fair tint. Once it sets (it needs to be set meaning my face to dry since I used a beauty blender), it forms a matte finish which looks natural just like your second skin! This shade matches my skin tone so well, you won’t be able to make out if I have applied a foundation or not! So what is the use of wearing this? Well, it hides all my imperfections like spots, tiny blemishes and to some extent light acne scars and gives a smooth flawless finish (that is what we expect from a foundation right?). I apply a sunscreen underneath, make tiny dots all over my face and quickly blend it out as it dries quickly. How I use and staying power: I use my PAC mini beauty blender to apply this foundation. I don’t know what it smells like but it is certainly not pleasant! It won’t bother much as it vanishes once you are done with application. NC 40 would make me look fairer but NC 42 was the best choice!- no fake tint or obvious colour difference between face and neck.įragrance: If you ask me what is that I don’t like in this foundation, I would say its fragrance. NC 40 and NC 42 both suited me but I purchased NC 42 since it looked natural and was the exact shade of my skin. I suggest you visit a M.A.C store and try the shades for yourself. Shade: Choosing the right M.A.C foundation shade is an art in itself! You just cannot make out the exact shade when you buy online and these is 90% chance that you will get the wrong shade. Texture: The consistency of foundation is very thick but it spreads quite easily- you only need to be quick in blending as it dries quickly. Ok, I am being cheap here I know! :p The cap fits perfectly and the bottle is travel friendly. I wanted to buy a pump dispenser too but I had to pay INR 1000 extra for it :/ with that amount I might take another foundation from Maybelline :/ I skipped the pump and made up my mind to use the foundation directly just like I use the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. The foundation bottle has a wide opening and you need to buy a pump dispenser separately if you want to take out the product without any mess. The bottle is transparent and comes with a black screw cap with matte-velvet finish. Packaging: The foundation comes in a very sturdy glass bottle which won’t break easily.
