I am using MAC NC46 SFF and Matchmaster 8.0 foundation. Which shade of this Ben Nye Luxury powder should I get? Please advise. Thank you!

I'm sorry, I am not familiar with either of the foundations you currently use, but my skin color is brown, I would say a Gabriel Union shade and I wear the topaz, works perfectly for med to darker color skin tones. I hope this helps!

I use MAC Matchmaster 7.5 so I recommend you try the topaz...I think you'll like it.. I have the banana also but it doesn't work that well for me or I'm not using it right

One and done is her best black bronzer. Definitely give it a shot! That's the lotion I've always used and it gets me so dark.

I feel the Ben Nye Topaz is great for medium toned brown skin. Since you stated that you are fair skin, you might do better with the Ben Nye Banana powder. Hope this help with your choice.

I liked the green one the best for color but it's not always easy to find. It's been my favorite so far and I like that it has SPF already in it. I usually pick an ivory-type shade of foundation and found that this one is the closest. The next best would be the "gold" skin79 that is easier to find. But green is my favorite.

My hair is somewhere between medium and dark brown and I got the R6. You're probably safer with ebony or midnight brown. If you google the bangs you can find some better pictures of the colors, that helped me a lot to pick the color for me.

I went on jane Iredale site, bought mineral foundation, love it, it is lite and creamy, not heavy, use color bb3 which is light, but there is a BB1 you may wish to consider! The site shows sample of colosr

The only product I use is the Primer. I will tell you though, I was given a sample of the makeup and was not thrilled with it. The Primer beneath may make a difference. If you're looking for natural, try Origins Stay Tuned. I really prefer it to most any other I've tried. When foundation is thicker, it has a tendency to sink into pores and lines. Maybe using less would help. Sorry I couldn't be of more help>

I use light tones however it really depends on your skin undertones, such yellow or peach. I have yellow in my skin tone so I use natural and I look for Sand color or light beige. I like the Etude House Precious Mineral BB cream. This BB cream has pearl and it is too light for me. I like the way the BB covers imperfections. I hope this helpful.

I'm in the shade NC55 for MAC, and this works great for me, but it all depends on your undertone. I have yellow undertones in my inner face, and red undertones everywhere else, but I can use this as an all over. For yourself, I would try it out because I can use it on myself, and friends your shade, but again, be careful about your undertone. Undertone is everything, and can really mess up how powder/foundation looks on a person.

It is a little darker than I like. I usually buy ivory or the step above ivory for foundation, and I would buy the one that is just slightly lighter than this peach color if I was going to buy the powder again.

I'm a NC 44 and the works well for me. It gives me a subtle highlight, whereas the banana gives off an extream highlight which requires more blending. I love a soft look if that's what your aiming for choose the Topaz. I love it and use it everyday.

You can buy the medium foundations and blend different colors to match your color. I bought the light makeup so I'm not sure about the colors in the medium kit. They are great with customer service, so I'm sure they could help you out with some tips on how to get the perfect color. You could find them on Facebook or email them.

I love the natural black bronzer. I have not yet tried one and done, but I don't want to but too "orange". There is a fine line between glow and way to freakin tan!

I suggest you youtube reviews. I have oily acne prone skin. This foundation does not break me out. The serum leaves me a perfect dewy finish. The healthy mix feels matte to me. However, these both feel lightweight. Great foundation! I bought both. Shades should be the same, but some sellers may not have the same shades available for you to purchase. There is a other bourjois foundation called 123 perfect. I have not tried yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNgt-GRu1jA Here is one review.

I'm the same way. It definitely blurs them and makes them less "oh snap, you've got adorable freckles!" than I enjoyed, but it didn't cover them entirely. I don't mean to plug another product here, but after years and years I just ended up using the Bare Escentuals (sp?) mineral veil with SPF 30 mixed with the original foundation. The mixing is important: it takes away the thickness of the foundation but is still weirdly sheer, so it evens my complexion without covering up my freckles. Took a couple of tries to get the ratios right, but hand to God, it's perfect.

Good Afternoon,Unfortunately, it is very difficult to foundation match someone without seeing them - there could be absolutely no guarantee that the color would match your skin tones. Typically a Dermalogica Treatment Foundation 4 would be too dark for a 'medium' color foundation. They also differentiate gold skin tones from neutral skin tones (2 vs 2G). Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you.

I used the medium shimmer which is a shade darker. I bought the shimmer so I could tell if I had applied enough for complete coverage. It is very sheer and doesn't look like pressed powder when applied. My husband is fair and it didn't show on his skin either.
