This is the most interesting video of yours I’ve seen. First, black looks fantastic on you! Then, the way you did your eyes - it’s fantastic with the black. I like that the blush is light. The foundation is amazing. BUT, the most interesting things is - all that put together adds up to a really amazing sophisticated look. I’ve never seen this look on you before. Awesome!

Yay! I was so excited to see this review tonight! You’re right, the shade is too dark for you. What a bummer! But it does look nice. I think I may give it a try if I can find the right shade. Loved seeing more of Ziva at the end. Love her so much! Question. Have you tried Julep eyeshadows? I love them, especially the shimmers. The Smokey Gray shimmer brightens these tired eyes in a flash. Primer is a must when using their eyeshadows though. MAC painterly or Milani! Take care!

This is now my favourite foundation -even with the testing on animals issue. I’ve been interested to see your thoughts. You and I share the same skin tone and normally the same match in colour for all foundations. I had heard that the shades were darker. The MAC website in Australia matched me at NW5 😮. I’m normally an NW15 girl too. Bought it, way too dark as expected. Took it back and swapped it for NW11 which is perfect for me but I don’t tan. Wasn’t able to test NW13, so can’t report on the colour. But I’m very, very happy with NW11 and now have my holy grail. I have the Nars Light Reflecting-I’m meh on it. Love your vids. Love Ziva.

It's sounding like I'm going to be NW10-11-ish. That's such a bummer. I have a couple other products in NW13 and they're a smidge light for me, so this one is really off by a bunch. MAC foundations work so well for me that I will probably go figure out what shade I actually am and buy it...

Hi Shelley I love the face and body and as I am ghostly pale wear it in shade C1. The shades of this one worry me being so dark and multiple reviews have complained about the shade’s being totally off. I will go to the counter and try to get colour matched on this one, plus a sample to make sure it doesn’t oxidise further. I’m hoping it is a slightly higher coverage version of the F&B tbh. My bottle of F&B is almost finished (around five sixths done) and it’s a Winter favourite which isn’t far off here in Scotland. We’re having 12 inches of snow right now in the mountains fell yesterday so the skiers are happy. Best wishes x

I was just looking at this online and thought the shades looked way dark. I'm usually NW25, but the model online looked about 2-3 shades darker than me.... The NW20 and NW22 looked like they might be too dark (they even looked dark on the models they chose). I thought I might be going crazy or something, but remembered you had just put out this video, and it definitely confirms that the shades are off. The shade comparison chart also said I'd be the same as always, and what's the point of even having it if it's not accurate?

Hi Shelley, I really like those colors on your eyes, also the blush and highlighter is really pretty on you but I will have to be honest that shade of Mac is too dark I would definitely wear that as you summer shade but for now thru Winter you need a lighter shade unless you wear the makeup all the way down your neck front and back but other than that it is a beautiful foundation on you (just get a different shade). I am light skinned but I am neutral in shades, but that shade would be dark on me too. I think your makeup look today is just Beautiful and I really like how your hair is today it really makes you look good and black is also beautiful on you too. Great Video! Take Care and God Bless You🙏🏼

It's sounding like from people that shade match to me that I will probably be NW10 or NW11 in this one (which is a few shades off - I have some other NW13s that are a smidge too light for me, so if this one can go all the way down to 10 for me, yowza). So I'd probably start looking at NC10 if I were you!

Omg on the Mac website I used the shade finder and it matched me with shade NW 15 for the radiance foundation and foundation I used was the Glossier #2 which is a much lighter shade. Needless to say I went into Ulta and I liked the NW 10 best. It’s a gorgeous foundation though. I thought the NW 10 would be slightly too dark but because it’s so thin it’s a perfect match. The other 10’s looked too pasty. But yeah Mac needs to fix their shade finder too 😂 because NW 15 would’ve scared the heck out me on my skin tone 🤣!!!

Wow I wonder why they don't say that (the response makes me think indeed that's what it's doing but they don't want to say that).

But I still wonder why if they know it darkens they didn't name the shades based on the final color on the skin.

I've heard so many explanations over the years. I don't know if any are really correct, but I do know that the overall concept of naming colors to balance a complexion rather than match it is more common in the professional artistry world than the consumer world, which may be part of where this all came from if MAC was targeting makeup artists as its original primary audience. (Haus Labs uses this "opposite" color naming too - but it's only opposite to consumer color naming; it's not that it's not "correct"). Basically if you have pink in your skin undertone, you have a cool undertone, and more yellow is warm. So the shade selection in MAC (or any other brand that follows this approach) would be to balance your undertone - so a cool would choose an NW shade and a warm would choose an NC shade. I've also heard people use these tricks to remember it - NW = "not warm" and NC = "not cool," or that NW = "needs warm" and NC = "needs cool." Consumer-targeted brands tend to make their shades as matching the skin's undertone rather than balancing it. This is really just a function of the name, because an NW shade in MAC will look the same as a "cool" shade in a consumer-targeted brand in most cases. Far more brands seem to use the matching names rather than the balancing names.

I see. That seems to make sense now given the target audience for mac versus most makeup. Match versus balance.

Last year I bought a new Studio sculpt or whatever it is called in NW15 and the shade was exactly like the NW15 in this new product. Of course, I did t use it until 2-3 months after purchasing so I couldn’t exchange it. What’s up, MAC?

I am so close to giving it up finding my shade. Looks like NW15 is going to be too dark again. The ones I have tried NC12, NC14.5 and NC16 have all been too dark. And I am not even the palest of pales

Not sure what shade you wear in the Nars Light Reflecting, (I wear Mont Blanc - which is too dark in their other foundations, but perfect in this one!), but I tried a sample of the NW10 and I think it's a perfect fit! I am trying to decide between this one and the Hourglass Ambient Light foundation. I think this one may be winning.

Actually Nisha at Sugar Puff and Fluff recently did a review of this foundation. She was also really disappointed in how off the shades were. Strange thing for Mac to do.

Don’t stress too much about the foundation being darker. They said this particular formula tends to run dark and everyone needs to go get color matched when they get it. I think Mac is still pretty reliable as far as NW15 goes.

The Nars Light Reflecting and Guerlain Terracotta are my 2 all time favorites year round - but when I'm super peely I go with MAC Studio Radiance (the plastic bottle one, or its predecessor Face & Body) or Kosas Tinted Face Oil.

Happened to me too. I'm normally Nc10. When I bought it, it was way too dark. I looked and noticed they had a new shade that was lighter. It was nc5. When I tried it, it was far too light. Can't wear this foundation, because there is no shade that matches me. Really annoying because I always know my color match in Mac. I don't know why they went so horribly wrong

Question for you. Do you think you will be trying Polite Society More Than a Pretty Face Skin-Caring Foundation? From reviews I’ve watched and comments I’ve read on Ulta, it sounds pretty good. Sounds like they run a bit warm so I think you and I might need to consider a cool shade. The mascara is also popular, and on their site they have a holiday eye palette with a hilarious name! The colors look beautiful!

Holy NW15, Batman! What the heck?! We've all run around for years describing our skin in MAC shades even if we don't regularly wear MAC because their shades are so consistent! 😢 I guess yay that it seems to be a good product but boo on the inconsistent shade!

I am your exact shade in every foundation. However, this foundation would only work in NC 14! I have never been a NC ever!
