Foundation Shade Equivalencies

[ladychris17]

^ chel nakalmutan mong may post ka dito? Haha

[kimmidoll]

i am using mac nc25 in studio fix and i was matched 10 lumiere in chanel mat lumiere powder foundation.

i haven't purchased it yet kasi in doubt pa ako sa shade equivalent. some say na 40 or 50 ang shade equivalent ng mac nc25 in chanel mat lumiere powder foundation.

any thoughts on this?

[lalapurplelala]

^It's too dark for an NC 25 sis. I am about NC30-35 (leaning more on 35) and I was matched to Cendre 30 in Mat Lumiere, I can also use Beige 40. I also use 30 on Vitalumiere Aqua.

[kimmidoll]

40 or 50 too dark for nc25? so 10 is the right one for me?

[kimmidoll]

So I am 20 Clair in Mat Lumiere Liquid?
And 10 Lumiere in Mat Lumiere Powder?

[lalapurplelala]

^I believe so. Pinatest mo ba siya on your whole face sa counter? How was it? If you're thinking about 40 or 50, it's too dark already as I have used 20 before using 30 and it looked way off on me.

[kimmidoll]

Nope, I didn't. Nagulat nga yung SA when I said 40, she said no, your shade is 10, 40 is dark on you.

[lalapurplelala]

^Oh, you should have her apply it to your face. At least try both 10 and 20. After testing it to your face, check it outside with natural lighting so alam mo which shade matches better.

Go to Temptalia.com, they have a foundation shade matcher for brands, mostly US and European brands pero they reference it with Mac (e.g. nc 42, 45, nw.....and so on) then yung equivalent na shade sa mga major foundations available except for asian ones ha!!

Any NC15 girls here?

I am NC15 sis, that's the only thing that I know. I don't know of any other foundations that matches that 

[charaze]

Hello! I only tried one foundation which is Revlon Nearly Naked in Medium Beige. Also, I came across this website called Findation which suggests the foundations based on the ones that you've tried already BUT I couldn't find Benefit's Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow.

Can anyone help me? Here are my shades in Findation:

1. Revlon Nearly Naked Medium Beige
2. L'oreal Paris Lumi Magique W5 Gold Sand

I need to know what shade I should buy in Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow. Thanks!
