I use Mac cream blush too, when would I apply before or after setting spray? Great video.

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

Before. Your setting spray it the last step! :)

[@taniasara867]

Thanks for another helpful video. If applying this product with a sponge (the third option in your video) would you still need to dampen it before applying the product and then would you pat the product onto the face?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

I recommend using a dry sponge when applying it😊 and yes, then press the product onto the skin, make sure to not load the sponge with too much product for an even application😊

[@taniasara867]

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thanks for your prompt reply Melissa. Have a great weekend :)

I think you should change to shade NW

[@mechial69]

What is the name of the brush you used to apply the powder foundation? Thanks!

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

I used the Inika Kabuki Brush :)

[@getyg3648]

Please give me some shade advice. In Studio Fix Fluid i am N6 and matches perfectly, on the website they describe it as a true beige, neutral undertone. I have light but not extremely light skin. N4 in Powder Plus is a bit light and rosy for me. Wouldn’t NW22 be a good choice because the model, on their website, wearing NC18 in Studio Fix is wearing NW22 in Powder Plus Foundation? Also i was recommended NC20 in Studio Finish Concealer

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

What about N5?

[@getyg3648]

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial i will try it in the store. On the website they say rosy beige and i’m afraid not to be too rosy.

[@rosario2195]

What kabuki brush did you use? Also if I were to use a sponge, do I just dab the product onto my face?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

I used the Inika Kabuki brush😊 Yes, you can dab and press it into the skin, make sure to not use too much at once when using the sponge otherwise it can look uneven😊

[@rosario2195]

Melissa Van Dijk Thank you!!

[@emma89]

It says on mac website its for all skin types......

[@deepikasinghrajawat6564]

My liquid foundation shade is nc20 . Which shade i should choose in mac powder plus foundation??

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

Hm...getting the same shade may make the entire based look darker...therefore I think it's best to go a shade lighter :)

[@lorivandenbogart3763]

What brand of CC cream and concealer did you use? Great Video!

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

Thank you🥰 I used the Bourjois CC cream and the concealer from Bourjois 😊

What shade did you use

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

I used the shade NC 20

[@mammafranz1]

can someone help me 🙄 i always use the shade nw35 it’s kinda orange but i would like to have a more yellow tone. the cool shades do all look very yellow but doesn’t „cool“ mean a more rosy shade/appearance?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

If you can't find the perfect shade by MAC, have a look at other brands, such as Bobbi Brown, Makeup4ever etc..or have a look at the drugstore, some brands offer great powder foundations and are very affordable 😊

[@mammafranz1]

Melissa Van Dijk thank you! but is it true that the cool or neutral shades have a kinda yellow tone?

[@torrie_d]

Mac shades are backwards. If you are more yellow tones you want to use the NC line.

[@MissOrchid12]

Sheynika Yes the NC shades are neutral, cool yellow tones. Asian skins are usually NC30 upwards....

[@raincandy3]

What shade are you using?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

I used the shade NC 20 :)

Whats your color or shade in the studio fix fluid?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

​@@KZbinr-kc3rf Back then, no....now it would be too dark because I haven't seen the sun in a while...I recorded this video while I was living in Australia in the tropics! :)

[@Youtuber-kc3rf]

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial the shade looks orange on you in this video

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

@@KZbinr-kc3rf I don't think that it looks too dark. It rather looks a bit too yellow but this is because I get flushing on my chest which makes my chest a bit more reddish and therefore the contrast is a bit stronger. I should have blended it further down, to neutralise it a bit more but then again, my shoulders aren't red but a bit more yellow/golden due to the sun :)

[@Youtuber-kc3rf]

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial it looks orange on your face, I wasn’t comparing it to your shoulders or neck.
