Best Mac Blush For Nc15
BEST FOR: A shimmery, satiny pink blush that is perfect for brightening up anyone's complexion, especially those with pale or fair skin. USERS SAID: 'I cannot live without this powder! It is the perfect pink tone on my fair skin, and even in the summer months when I have a little bit of color, it compliments my shade.
I have recently been trying some new MAC foundations and I have tried some others in the past. I figure I may as well review them all in one big post. The foundations I will review are studio fix fluid, studio fix powder plus foundation, studio sculpt, pro longwear, mineralize satinfinish and mineralize foundation (compact). My skin type: very dry, sensitive, acne prone. My skin coloring in MAC: NC10 - if they still made it.
NC15 works for me most times but can be a bit too yellow. Here are some foundation swatches all are still wet and freshly applied.
Left to right: studio fix fluid NC15, studio fix fluid NW15, mineralized foundation NC15, pro longwear NC15, mineralize satinfinish NC15 Here are the same swatches after they dried on my skin. You can see that some have oxidized and become slightly darker. Left to right studio fix fluid NC15, studio fix fluid NW15, mineralized foundation NC15, pro longwear NC15, mineralize satinfinish NC15 For reference this is my face without any makeup on. I was and still am battling acne flare ups on my chin, due to pregnancy.
The Reviews: - Studio fix fluid Spf 15 - coverage: medium to full finish: natural matte wear: all day, stays on very well packaging: Screw top bottle pros: Studio fix is one of my favorite foundations. It provides excellent coverage especially on break outs and conceals redness. It stays put and doesn't rub off until I take it off. Includes broad spectrum sun protection from UVA and UVB rays.
Cons: Can clog pores, must be removed thoroughly. Can look cakey if too much is applied, almost mask like. Foundation pump is sold separately for some reason, this bothers me. Overall: Best for oily/combination skin that needs coverage. It can be a little drying.

Be careful if you are acne prone because this foundation can cause breakouts. Yes price: $32 CAD rating: 4.5/5. Wearing Studio fix fluid in NW15 (NC15 matches me way better!): - pro longwear spf 10 - coverage: medium to full finish: natural satin-like wear: all day, stays on very well packaging: pump bottle pros: Natural looking flawless finish with great coverage. It's very fluid like but can be built up easily.
Photographs very well. Wears well, lasts all day. Cons: I found this oxidizes slightly, as most long wearing foundations do. The color turned a tad orange, but nothing too extreme. SPF is very low, not sure if it would protect skin or not.
Too drying for dry skin. Overall: Best for normal/oily/combination skin that needs long wearing coverage. Yes price: $36.50 CAD rating: 4.5/5.
Wearing pro longwear foundation NC15: - Mineralize foundation Spf 15 (compact) - coverage: light/medium finish: natural satiny wear: 6-8 hours packaging: compact pros: Great for drier skin because it is slightly moisturizing. Sets to a nice smooth finish that looks very natural. You can build coverage to hide minor imperfections and redness. Includes sun protection with spf 15.
Compact is great to carry around for touch ups. Cons: Quite expensive. Needs to be set with a powder if you want it to last all day.
It wears off easily. Won't cover major skin problems, additional concealer is most likely needed.
Overall: Best for dry/normal/combination skin that doesn't need a lot of coverage. Yes price: $40 CAD rating: 4/5. Wearing mineralize foundation NC15 (layered heavily): - mineralize satinfinish spf 15 - coverage: sheer/light finish: dewy wear: 4-6 hours packaging: pump bottle pros: This is a very light weight foundation. It has mica in it that casts a nice glow onto the skin. Includes several antioxidants in the formula as well as Spf 15. Great for aging skin.
This is also a great foundation to mix with others for more glow. Cons: Lasting power is horrible.
Must be set with powder. Does not cover blemishes or redness completely, additional concealer is likely required unless you are lucky enough to have perfect skin.
Can look streaky, but better when set with powder. Overall: Best for dry/normal skin that needs little to no coverage. Adds luminescence to dull and aging skin. Note the coloring in this particular foundation runs light.
NC15 is more like NC10, it matches my skin perfectly. Yes price: $36.50 CAD rating: 3.5/5. Wearing mineralize satinfinish NC15 (layered 2-3 times): - Studio Sculpt SPF 15 - coverage: medium to full finish: satin wear: approx 8 hours packaging: squeeze tube pros: After layering and blending you can achieve perfect looking skin that still maintains a natural finish. Includes spf 15. Cons: Hard to blend in without streaking. Heavy in silicone that can clog pores.
