![]() However, this foundation did seem to sit on top of my skin, making it look a bit mask-like. The oil control is one of the best from a BB cream that I’ve tried – I didn’t even need to powder my skin. I found the coverage to be quite good and the formula applied smoothly onto the skin. This BB cream does smell like sunscreen (it uses both chemical and physical sunscreens: Octinoxate (7.5%) Octisalate (4%) Oxybenzone (2.5%) Titanium Dioxide (1.1%)) and has the highest SPF rating of the 3 samples. The shade Medium is slightly too dark for my skintone – I think Light Plus would have been a better match. This claims to keep hydration on the skin, yet controls oil, with the added benefit of sunscreen protection. ![]() Prep + Prime BB Beauty Balm SPF35 in Medium – CAD $37 for 40ml Here are my thoughts on each after trialing them. ![]() I’ve been curious to try the Mineral Moisture foundation since its launch and the other 2 samples were chosen for me by the MA who recommended them based on my preferences and skin type. Foundation is a product that I like to try a sample first before taking the plunge with a full size – I like to check the colour match in a variety of lighting, and also make sure they don’t cause break outs. I have combo skin with an oilier t-zone, sensitive skin that can get dehydrated. long wearing – at least 8 hrs to last me through a work day.easy application – I typcially use my fingers.Firstly, what I typically like in my everyday foundations: The foundations I got were: Prep + Prime BB Beauty Balm SPF35, Matchmaster SPF15 Foundation, and Mineralize Moisture. I’ve now had the chance to try all 3 foundations at least twice each, so I can provide a first impressions type of review on them. The only reason I went with C35 is cause things kept looking pink on me even when they were yellow toned.I got 3 MAC foundations samples when I went in the last time to redeem my “free” lipstick for the Back to MAC program. I wouldnt go to C35 unless you're actually olive otherwise it'll make you look greenish or ashy depending on your actual undertone. Powder foundations normally darken once your skins oils mixes with it so it's better to go a shade lighter(if you find the shade turns orange) then spray with Fix + so you don't have to wait for it to oxidize. It tends to be more golden compared to NC30 and NC40. I do know that NC35 is actually a bit more yellow. The C range with a single digit look pinkish on me but that could be due to my olive tones contrasting with the slight pink tones. Which is why people that go from NC to C feel they're "more yellow" but it's actually due to their NC shade having too much beige. Some of the lighter shades may have more beige and some of the darker shades more brown. The C shades with one digit aren't true olive colors. NC shades are yellow with a little bit of beige.Ĭ shades with one digit (C2, C3, C4 etc) are yellow with a little bit of pink.Īre yellow with a little bit of green. Side by side it doesn't look that much different- I was too tired to try out C35 and just got NC35 but should I really have gotten C35 instead and not listen to the MA and trust my instinct? OK here's the question- if she originally matched me up with C4- is it that much different than C35? I thought C35 would have been a better match since it seems like the NC line doesn't have enough yellow or is C35 much more 'Olive' than C4? Then I wanted to try out C35- she says this is too olive-green toned for me and NC35 would be better since she thinks I have more of a golden beige skin tone ( plus it was the color I used in the past- pretty good match but not enough yellow for me. Did the same thing but upon application the tone was off not enough yellow. Then I tried NC40- she says it's more beige than C line. She matched me with Studio Fix Powder in C4- on application it looked good but it did shift a bit and turned orange. OK I finally got officially foundation matched by a MAC MA the other day.
