Another way to keep the NC & NW is this: NC’s are neutral cool shades (yellow tones). Think of the C standing for a (yellow) Canary. NW’s are neutral warms (pink tones). Think of the W standing for (pink) Watermelon. Hope that helps someone!

[@pyjamabottoms670]

I'm confused about how something neutral can be warm or cool? Isn't the whole point of neutral to be... neutral? X

[@musicplaylist9628]

So I have pink blue undertones but my skin does look slightly on the yellow side too

[@thiya4627]

@@pyjamabottoms670 nah. sometimes neutral can lean to warm or cool. it's common

[@jayatmosphere2745]

But using the color wheel (which is a MUA’s “holy grail”), pink is considered cool and yellow is warm. Do MAC not contradict this entire theory?

[@benvillegas3173]

NC = Not Cool NW = Not Warm

[@Pancakespls]

As a former MAC Artist, it's always been so strange that MAC foundation undertones are completely opposite of the actual color wheel, that everyone is taught. 😆 And yeah, MAC says xyz doesn't crease and it definitely will, SFF will and does crease even after being set, especially under the eyes so I always lightly blend a setting poweder under the eyes before SFF gets put down and I use a 224 brush to blend it out and really press it into the skin. NC is yellow and warmer undertones, NW is pinky and bluer. I'll always think of NC as warm and NW as cool now, thanks MAC 😒 NWs also run darker than NCs, so if you've matched someone in NC25, you would use NW20 for under eye concealing (NW15 if you want a brighter look under the eyes) because NWs have a peachy base that will warm up discoloration under the eyes. Same for making Neutral foundation colors from this pallette. If you want to make an N2 which is a very popular shade, one that I use a lot on clients. I always use an NC as my target level, so NC 25/ NW20 would get you pretty close to an N2, obviously before you go to town with your blend, swatch test on the jaw line into the neck. It's not always going to be a 1.1 ratio mix of product, but once you start working with the product, you can start to eye ball it MAC has sooo many half shades now, NW22, NC18 etc, but it's much more cost effective to buy every other shade in whatever foundation line you're investing in, and grab a white Face and Body or white foundation and mix your own shades. Also, MAC has mixing mediums, for foundations, lips and eyes, to change textures and color payoffs.

[@frankiejones9646]

OMG Angie, you just gave me a great idea. I’m going to try to shear this product down with my MAC mixing medium! 🤞🏾

[@zuliecastaneda6909]

How did that work for you? I tried it and found that it made it dry up so quickly.

[@andreaviana2597]

Hi Angie! Would you recommend this palette for bridal makeup or you think the Rcma would have a better performance? Also can we mix a cream palette foundation with a liquid foundation to customize colour/finish? I’ve never used foundation palette in my kit, just liquid ones cause I’m afraid they can be too dry. But lately have been wanting to try them out as their much more “economic” as buying infinite liquid foundation bottles. Also does the foundation palettes also work well for occasional/bridal makeup (which are more my market at the moment)? Sorry, too many questions! 🙈 I’m really a fan of you as you’re so down to earth and reliable! Hope you can see and reply to my questions 🙌🏻 xx

[@YOURETHINKINGIT]

I wish you compared it to Graftobian palette too. I've purchased that in the past and misplaced it and I was going to purchase again but this looks great too and better for my shade of clients.

[@AngieDiB]

I don’t work with Graftobian products because they are harder to get here in Toronto so I wouldn’t be able to compare the two.

[@scoutyd1885]

I just bought this a few months back along with the light & deep Studio Fix correct & conceal palettes to make light & deep shades. To moisturize/thin-out I bought the MAC Prep+Prime Essential Oils Stick. It has good reviews, and it seems nice. Have you tried the Pro Palette Painstick x12 (MAC version of MUFE Flash Palettes brights) to color adjust? Just thought I'd ask, since you & Terri just took us through color-wheel exercises. Thanks again Angie.

[@AngieDiB]

I haven't used the paint stick in many many years, but for a while they were a staple in my kit. The paint sticks are emollient based and work similarly to the MUFE Flash palette - they are less greasy but can seem more dry (if that makes sense).

[@nainagupta3426]

[@colleen1152]

Watching in 2023! This was so helpful. I am building my kit and needed help understanding more about this palette. Is this considered a wax, or oil based? I know both ingredients are in there and was wondering if I can use silicone base primer

[@AngieDiB]

A good moisturizer is the best choice underneath this foundation, you can try it with a silicone based primer but you may find some separation on the skin after a while because of the waxes and oils in this palette.

[@Dorysyk13]

[@ashisabellamua]

Thank you so much for this video!! I’m looking to build my bridal kit and wanted to add this to it! Would you say after using the rcma powder could you go in after with a skin tone powder?

[@AngieDiB]

That wouldn’t be necessary to set the foundation (the RCMA is enough) and for my application style that would be too much product in the skin, but give it a shot to see if it works for you.

How do I get this palette I dont see it on their on the website

[@barbararodrigues3119]

Hi Angie! I loved this video, your tips are amazing! Once a MAC MUA told me that the concealer in the Conceal and Correct palette isn't the same as the Studio Finish (the one in the pot). In my experience the Studio Finish Concealer is drier than the ones in the Conceal and Correct palette! I would like to know if you have had the same experience as I did!

[@AngieDiB]

Hey Barbara! I've always used them all interchangeably and never had an issue with application.

[@sophx7845]

Yes i also believe they are not the same as studio finish concealer has spf 35 and sudio finish conceal and correct palettes do no have spf!! 👌

[@MissVangroover]

I am old enough to remember when (original, pre-Lauder buyout) M.A.C.'s shades were simply "N" (neutral) and "C" (cool)-I was an N2 in the liquid Satin Finish and N3 in original (then, newly launched) StudioFix powder based foundation. Even then, the colour categorizing was confusing: "N" has more red/cool tones (and should have been indicated as "C"); "C" was more yellow/olive. I haven't bought or worn M.A.C. in about 20 years, as I didn't like what Lauder did to the formulations after buying out the brand (outright) in 1995.

What skin prep would work best for this depending on skin types? I used this on someone and I had a gel moisturiser w matte finnish and the foundation looked dry and a bit cakey. This also have a very dewy finish so how to make it long lasting on very oily skin in hot weather?

[@AngieDiB]

It sounds like your client's skin was not hydrated enough prior to application. To use this product on oilier skin types (of course it will differ from person to person) but you may want to experiment with different skin prep that hydrates but also controls oil, mattifying primer, and layering oil absorbing setting sprays throughout application (maybe not all at once).

[@jojogrzy1904]

I think I’m late to the party but do they not sell this anymore?

[@Vic4Bru]

Could you use inglot duraline to thin out the foundation? Great video!

[@yvonnecordova3109]

Hi Angie do they have replacements if you hit pan or do you have to purchase the foundation on the side and depot it back in the pallet?

[@AngieDiB]

You would have to replenish with the individual shades. Before depotting them into this palette you would have to clean and disinfect the individual well.

[@paulineozga243]

After I moisturizer and prime the skin this foundation still seems to break up on the skin. What could the issue be? I’ve tried a brush and sponge for application.

[@AngieDiB]

There are lots of reasons why this could be happening - the ingredients in your moisturizer and/or primer may not work with the base of this foundation, you may be using too much moisturizer and/or primer, too much foundation, you may need to consider what you are setting it with etc. Sometimes you have to break down the application process and consider all these things when something isn't working so it can be frustrating!

[@cynthiasstylemua9822]

Does MAC make a similar mixing medium like the RCMA foundation mixer? Is their mixing medium good for this foundation? Great video. Very informative as usual. 😁 💜

Hi Angie, I need to diversify my kit for non black skin tones as I am moving to another country. Would you recommend this MAC palette or the RCMA

[@AngieDiB]

I can't recommend one over the other - because they are both incomplete when it comes to having a full shade range in one palette. Regardless of what you purchase you will still need to supplement with additional shades/adjusters for your kit.

[@dakotahjadee]

Hi everyone! Whoever is interested in a MAC pro discount, just wanted to let you all know that they are currently waiving the annual fee due to COVID-19, which is really considerate of them, and very helpful to us during these times. I just became a member a few weeks ago 😊

It was free before covid. I renewed my membership in December already and it was free.

[@carlaahyk]

Using the MAC as a concelear is it still ok on oily skin instead of makeup? Meaning, thinking of setting in fine lines and creasing.

[@AngieDiB]

The skin would still have to be prepped properly and you would need the appropriate powder to set.

[@shanadorasamy6171]

How much

[@Fancyfarmgirl23]

What exact magnetic sheets are you using. Ones I’ve found donor hold pans of any products

[@AngieDiB]

I don’t know what the brand name is unfortunately. I have purchased them from a few different places (dollar store, craft store) and I don’t have any left in their original packaging. I wouldn’t buy ones that are super thin because they are not strong enough. I look for ones that are a few millimetres thick (probably not helpful). I would also say maybe shop around and buy a few different ones to test first before you buy in bulk.

[@vnaash2014]

Hey Angie! Would you say this one is just as full coverage as the RCMA If not more?

[@AngieDiB]

That would all depend on how you are using and applying the product. I find I can get very full coverage with both.

[@alexandriaofficially7970]

This palette is never in stock :(

[@ashlyannn]

I know this question doesn’t have anything to do with Mac, but I’m not sure if you’ve decided to change anything about the way you go about makeup applications due to Covid? Such as implementing face masks and or shields etc... here in the states, there isn’t many steps one takes to ensure a safe application for makeup. Now I am a licensed cosmetologist and I have been implementing those steps into makeup but just curious if you were going to do anything different any tips would be helpful!

[@AngieDiB]

Yes I definitely am and I think all makeup artists are going to have to change their approach now, and beyond covid-19 to do whatever is necessary to keep themselves and their clients safe. I am in the process of completely changing my entire way of working and doing business. Once I have my new system figured out and reviewed by the appropriate people, I will start to share this with everyone. It is truly a complete overhaul so this will take some time.

[@kelsi671]

Hi Angie! You might have a video addressing this already, but what are your thoughts on using airbrush mainly regarding bridal? Im afraid brides wont book me if I dont use an airbrush machine, do you find this to be true?

[@AngieDiB]

Hey Kelsi! A few things about airbrushing to think about: - There are some markets where a majority of artists airbrush for their bridal clients, if you are in a market like this you may want to consider airbrushing to stay competitive - You can have a successful business without airbrushing, I haven't airbrushed since the early 00's but with that being said I am moving back to airbrushing because I see it as a more hygienic way of makeup application moving forward (less touching, fewer brushes used).

[@kelsi671]

Angie Di Battista awesome thank you for your advice! Definitely something to think about 🤗

[@slaybaenay]

Hi! Just found your channel. Can I mix this or the rcma with grape seed oil for a matte finish? I don’t want to rely too heavily on powders. I really would prefer to use single bottles such as studio fix liquid or makeup forever for each client but as a new MUA I have to think of what will stretch my funds longer. Any advice?

[@AngieDiB]

Hey! I haven’t tried mixing anything in my kit with grapeseed oil so I really don’t know how that would affect this foundation. Any cream products like this palette or RCMA are not self setting products so you will need to powder them even when mixed or diluted unless you are working on something where you don’t need to set the foundation (maybe for a luminous finish on a shorter shoot) but for longevity and to prevent the foundation from really moving around on the skin in my experience they need to be set with powder.

[@slaybaenay]

Angie Di Battista thanks! I worked on someone a few days ago. She had dry skin. I didn’t realize my Mac cream palette had the oil that you mentioned in it because it’s listed as a studio fix product so I mixed it in with some beauty oil from Danessa Myricks to help it not be too matte on her skin but once I put the powder on (which was very little because she has dry skin and I wanted to keep the glowy look for pictures once we were done) the concealer creased so bad under her eyes! I ended up taking it off and redoing it. I prepped her with a hydration mask, under eye gel from cetaphil, vitamin c and moisturizer and primer before applying any makeup but under the eyes specifically just wasn’t setting clean. She said this always happens to her. I’ve mixed the beauty oil with the same Mac concealer before who also had dry skin but no creasing happened. She said it always happens to her no matter the MUA, what do you think it could be? Next time I will try very little product and set it and see how that works. Thanks!

@@slaybaenay depending her age/skin but u might want to try MAC eye cream that is that grey/white tube which really prepps that thin skin nice... I've had really dry flakey skin ynder the eye n that eye cream helped the makeup to stay put n look ok. The key is to not apply too much product under the eyes for minimal crease. So application should be in the inner corner n outer corner n then blend it outward from inner corner n going outward.. look up for rober welsh video for that better explanation

Will the Mehron Mixing Medium be okay to use to sheer out this foundation? I don't have the RCMA liquid but I was wondering if the Mehron Mixing Liquid could do the same?

[@AngieDiB]

I don't think so - I don't know if the ingredients would agree with one another. You can give it a try and see how it goes but my guess is no. You can also sheer it down with a simple moisturizer like Embryolisse.

thank you so much, Angie! I enjoy learning from your videos!

what is the difference between waterproof and water resistant? Thank you

[@AngieDiB]

The easiest way to describe it is: Waterproof - fully resistant to water (product can resist complete water submersion) Water resistant - partial resistance to water to some degree (but not entirely)

[@uncensoredmamma3554]

If I have to invest, should I buy this or RCMA vk palette? Please reply.

[@AngieDiB]

That is totally up to you, the colour range you need, what type of foundation you like to work with etc. I need both in my kit to work.

Hi can you help me find these shades in the Cinema Secret foundation I’m trying find the pallet that would be equivalent to Mac Studio Fix NC45 NC46 NC47

[@AngieDiB]

You may want to look at the 300 Series Palette from Cinema Secrets, if you need deeper than that you would look at the 200 series palettes which gets into more golden/olive undertones.

[@keishamervin]

Angie Di Battista thanks

I was wondering, can the correct and conceal palette be used as cream foundation?

[@AngieDiB]

Yes it can!

What makeup sponges are those? Is there a link?

[@AngieDiB]

This video is 2 years old so they are discontinued unfortunately!

[@JessaJaguar]

Have you ever combined this with Cinema Secrets or Face Atelier? Do they mix well together?

[@AngieDiB]

I have and the result is slightly better with Cinema Secrets because it is also emollient based. With Face Atelier there is some separation because the foundation is silicone based.

[@JessaJaguar]

I just renewed my membership and it was free. I'm not sure if this will continue or if it is due to the current health crisis situation.

[@AngieDiB]

Hey Jan! Yes, apparently they are offering free pro memberships for the time being which is great.

[@Diana-ey9tf]

I have the graftobian foundation palette, would you say this is similar or better?

[@Diana-ey9tf]

Also when you talk about the foundation palette being sold individually, would they be the mac studio tech or the liquid foundation?

[@AngieDiB]

I have no experience using the Graftobian palette so I wouldn’t have any feedback on that for you. The individual product is just called ‘Full Coverage Foundation’ (not sure if it is sold as something else in different markets) but on the Canadian and US websites you can find it.

[@Diana-ey9tf]

@@AngieDiB thank you so much for replying. Love how you take your time to reply to your followers

[@Q3Masha]

Is this palette in an insert? Can you remove it and put it in the double sided mac palette?

[@AngieDiB]

I am not 100% sure because I don't have the empty pro palette that can hold the double sided inserts, but this one does not look big enough.
