Hi! I have been trying out the MAC Pro Longwear foundation. When I was in New Jersey, I ran out of foundation! That's a first for me, haha. I was a little bit sun burnt on my face from being on the beach. (Yes, I used sunscreen ;). So we went to MAC to get a new foundation. Now, I ALWAYS have problems with foundations and bronzers looking very orange on me. I don't know why foundations always look orange on me, but it drives me CRAZY. So I thought that MAC would match a foundation to my undertones and it wouldn't be orange. The worker at the MAC store said that I had pink undertones and matched me to the shade NW20. She said that this foundation would give me a semi-matte finish, and would last all day. I do agree that this foundation lasted all day, but didn't keep me very matte. This foundation had a pretty full coverage, and was a thicker consistency. I don't like this foundation with my F80 or any other kind of brush that buffs it into your skin because it can be very cakey. I like this with your typical foundation brush, you know, one that looks like a paint brush. It is best when just lightly patted onto your skin. I really like the pump on this foundation, because most MAC foundations don't have it. After about a week of using this foundation I noticed it wasn't matching to my skin very well anymore. In bright lighting, it looked like it matched fine, but in natural lighting, it looked like I had applied blush to my whole face. Ugh, I was soo disappointed. I can never have a foundation that perfectly matches to my skin tone. I am definitely taking this foundation back because it doesn't match me at all. I think I will try out a new foundation instead of repurchasing this one, because I really like to try out new foundations, and I no longer need a full coverage foundation. I am using my MUFE HD foundation right now, but I'm getting paler and paler and it isn't matching me. What foundation do you guys like for oily skin, and doesn't turn orange? Please leave your suggestions! I want a flawless finish and something that will last throughout a school day! :)

Have you tried Estée Lauder Double Wear? They have a light version too, I believe. Have them match you and try to get a sample instead of buying right away. :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many people tell me that! I am really thinking about going and getting it! I have been holding off for so long and I don't know why! Thanks for the suggestion :)
