I've never used Mac foundation before so I'm not really sure on the colours and there's no shops around here that sell it for me to go try it out.
I've got light olive skin with a neutral undertone, I normally best suit "classic ivory" foundations and don't like dark looking makeup.
I'm going to get the Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation
So what Mac shade would suit me best?
I was going to try NW20 but thought I'd ask first.

I agree with Andrea I don't have sensitive skin at all, but I broke out :/ I stick to revlon colorstay is so far the best foundation to use for humidity

I use the studio fluid fix and it's never cracked and lasts me all day. I guess it just depends on your skin type.

Oh yeah I agree with Elsa, it made me break out more than usual, it think it be better for people who don't have oily skin but when applied it I put nars primer but it still cracked so Its the foundation.

Thats rather poop.
I hate buying foundation, its such a pain in the arse to find a really really good one.
I'm currently using rimmel match perfection I think its called? The porcelon is too light but the ivory is too dark -.- its good for staying put in the colder weather but melts away in the heat. Plus its really sheer so I have to put heaps of layers on to get a good coverage then I just feel like a cake face.

Oh also I have dry/sensitive skin with oily t-zone.

What type of foundation are you looking for? I hate drug store foundations. Expensive foundations are worth paying for(:

Where I live we have a crap selection of foundations.
The only decent place to buy any makeup is Priceline. The brands we have are: cover girl, face of australia, rimmel, maxfactor, almay, revlon, bys and maybelline.
We havent even got half the foundations America does :/ such as that cover girl 3 in 1 foundation everyone raves about.
Estee Lauder Double Wear is like $50 a bottle here from Myer and they only sell it in 5 shades, none of which suit me.

Oh and I'm after more of a full coverage liquid foundation, not that I have shit skin I've just got dark freckles and broken capilaries around my nose and dark dark circles under my eyes (I get bad hayfever and sinus problems so they never go away)
Also I don't want yellowy-tan looking foundation.

I can't help you than cause I haven't tried many foundations/:
May 27, 2013
Paige M.
I've never heard of it lol. I've got bills and am saving money so I won't spend more than $25 on foundation since it never lasts more than a fortnight.
Thats okay, I've tried most drug store foundations.
May 27, 2013
Paige M.
And I don't like buying from websites because $30 for postage is a rip off.

Its a mix of porcelon and ivory foundations - rimmel match perfection.
With cover girl ivory powder on top.
But its only good in winter

I bet there not cheaper here in Australia ;(
May 27, 2013
Paige M.
Thankyou :)
I do like this foundation but its not good for warm weather.
Australia sucks for makeup.
Oh I forgot to include L'oreal. I've been considering trying true match but its about $35 and I've heard it can make you break out.
I'll have to check out that makeup but as Laura said its probably not haha :(
Don't you have maxfactor?

Poop I'm from Victoria haha!
Thanks heaps though, I think I might give it a go!
Thats pretty lame that it was taken off the shelf, I hate when that happens! About 4-5 years ago I was using the most amazing foundation ever! My friend had a black eye right before photoday for school and this foundation covered it up with one layer and it didnt even look fake.
But I'm pretty sure the discontinued it :(
I've been struggling to find a foundation I really like since then.
