Hi beautifuls.
im wanting to try a MUFE HD foundation, but we dont have MUFE in australia so i dont know what colour i am and i dont want to buy it if it doesnt match, so i am a NW20/25( i feel like the girl at the mac counter gave me a colour a little darker then i am) so i wanted to know what MUFE foundation colour you'd think would suit me best!

This is probably one of the hardest questions to answer because the MUFE HD line has so many shade/undertone variations beyond MAC's shade range.

Ideally, I'd say connect with someone who has access to MUFE and ask them to pick up a few samples to send you to try to see which matches best. But since that may not be practical, the next best thing I can think of would be to check out Temptalia's foundation matrix.

It's probably the best foundation database I've seen online and I've found it very useful to narrow down shade selections. Then with those few shades, check out their descriptions on Sephora to help you make your final decision.

Good luck. :]

I'm 125 in MUFE and I was matched at NW25 at MAC. I didn't think it was my color though. It seemed too beige for me, so I tried NC25 and that seemed too yellow. Who knows! So maybe the 125 would work for you.  ;)

Temptalia has a really good color chart comparison, but I have to warn you, MUFE is extremely popular because it is the more yellow of foundations out there on the market... so it might be more than you're looking for as an NW shade... for NC shades, it's great! It might be more effective as a summertime foundation for those w/ paler skin tones.  =D

cassie, media makeup in SA sells it and ships aus-wide!
www.mediamakeupstore.com
the banner up top used to say 'only stockist' but now it says 'favourite', so maybe MUFE expanded the auswide coverage?
