Ok this is the video I was looking for, I didn’t know if I was nc 25,30,or 37 and so many videos I’ve seen they are using studio lights and not natural lighting so it all looks orange. After reading all the reviews saying the same thing that it was to light? Must not have watched the whole video, I literally saw it melt and oxidize to a perfect match. Not to mention I always prefer to go a bit lighter since it’s easy to warm up with bronzer. I personally would prefer more bronzer to warm up a foundation then a lot of concealer to lighten up the face. Another plus the lighter shade will work perfectly in the winter months lol.
I always faced this same bad experience & loss of money , whenever I listened to foundation shade suggestions of girls in cosmetics counters!! Be it any cosmetic brands, they always suggested darker foundation shade to me. It looks bad after Oxidisation because my face & neck looks much darker & dull than my shoulder/body . I lost lot of money struggling to find perfect shade , in different brands. Mac is one of them. So, I 1st check shades online & i choose 2 or 3 shades lighter than what makeup artists in cosmetic stores suggest me. These artists suggest shade that look good only in bright warm lights in malls. But in sunlight or indoors, it looks very different.
Oh God! Are you me? I was matched to NC41 and I used it for 8 years and it was never my shade. It always made me orange and dark and I could never tell why my makeup did not look as good as it looked on others. Finally one day I went to Aerocity and there I was matched with C40 which is a light beige olive neutral shade for light skin. I didn’t buy the liquid foundation then but bought the C35 compact. C40 is always out of stock. I might try NC25 now and see if it works as well because I always thought NC 25 would be too light and never tried it. NC 30-35 are both dark and very very orange on me.
I agree , most of the Mac store executive these days lack basic knowledge. It wasn’t same earlier when store were less in number and now with many stores coming up the standard of makeup representatives have gone low
Unfortunately this shade is too light for you, it looks off towards the end. Like a white cast. I suggest maybe mixing in a bit of that darker shade that you aren’t using. Nice eye makeup! Love it
I agree with you re the bad matching from Mac employees Luckily where I live they will swap it for another colour if you go home and realise it’s not right for your skin tone
The same thing happen with me..i purchased it from mac store.they said that your match is nc30.nd then i just purchased..nd i have used only two or three tyms.i should have gone for nc20 at that tym.nd now i feel if will purchase mac my money will be waste cuz may be i will not get my exact shade.but mac foundation are really good if you find your exact shade.
I decided to buy Mac foundation after watching this video and finally I have purchased NC20. I used it once for a party look and my skin looked beautiful. 😍 Red marks and acnes were hidden. But i felt need for a concealor to hide acnes more perfectly. Plz suggest a shade in MAC and LA GIRL... plz plz plz...
Thanks for the lovely comment. But honestly, I haven't ever tried any concealor from Mac or La girl. My go to concealor is Maybelline instant age rewind into the shade neutralizer. That's the only one I use.
Hey m also planning to buy NC20 instead of NC25...cz I feel since it will oxidise anyhow...so felt NC20 would be better.... May u plz mention ur complexion related detail... Or ur Maybelline fit me shade
Oh my god !! The same thing happened to me as well. The sales person recommended me NC41 and I happily bought it after trying. And then I became orange and even in a wedding I applied it and it looked so orangy and dull that I got depressed so much. It was 2700 then. After some months, it didn't get out of my head and I went to a MAC store in a different mall. And the sales person over there recommended me NC25 which is actually my skin in a bottle. Somehow I convinced myself to invest again. But I need to find a way out to use the nc41 as well. If you find plz let me know.
Hi, u can either go for the same shade, or u can go for nc25 shade for powder. For ur 2nd question, I'm not quite sure. Mac is great for part makeup as its medium build able coverage foundation and if nc20 is ur perfect match, go for it.
It looks really good on your skin and the color is really good too, I learned very hard way long time ago to match myself only because they always pick out the wrong shade only 1 out of 100 helpers will give you a good match. Here in Canada you can return bad colors but in india/pakistan there are no return policies so you have to be careful. I used to use mac when i was younger many years ago in university, now i want to go buy it again.
My husband accidentally bought nc15, I wanted to buy nc20 or nc25 (I will get it after 2 months), I don't know what to do please tell me will it look okay 😭 does mac oxidize?, I actually use WetnWild Shell Ivory (which is pale) but I don't know how it will look please help 😭
Yes, MAC Foundation oxidizes a lot. At least for me. So it should be fine with u. But still, if it's not, u can always add some bronzer to your face, avoid concealor for brightening and ur good to go!
My skin tone is just like you with few red marks..n i bought NC15 shade. And my cheecks is too dry and T zone is normal..So olz suggest me How to use NC15 shade for my skin...plz suggest
Same thing happened to me. The beauty assistant suggested me nc30. Its way to dark for me. Makes me orange. After seeing alot video i can safely conclude i am either nc20 or nc25. But now i have already wasted so much money. Can't afford the second bottle 😅
Hi I used the Wet n Wild Pro Brush Line Precision foundation Brush. Here's the Amazon link to it wet n wild Pro Brush Line, Precision Foundation Brush, 0.11 Pound amzn.eu/d/7YxC6Ba Blender i mostly use inexpensive ones, so anything u like.
@@ShimmerNShine thank ypu so much ma'am please do tell the shades suitable for me for wet n wild foundation and loreal infallible foundation if in MAC my shade is NC 25
Pics mein unclear ho sakta hai, but Maine jo lagaya hai, yeh aisa hi dikhta hai and after a while it oxidizes and becomes darker, so it suits my skin perfectly. Best is that aap store jaa ke check Karo, apne face par try Karo and keep it for half an hour to see how it looks on u.
Hiii i liked ur video and the shade is perfect for ur skin tone, i wonder so many comments saying its not right shade for u🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄 something s wrong with them.. Pls i need one help, i had once bought mac pro long wear foundation online , that was nc20 n it was a real nice foundation but now many people say it can be duplicate also, so im not sure should i buy the original nc 20 again or no?? Cz when i visited the store they guided me with nc 25 but i feel thats darker on my skin
Firstly, things to consider. From which website did u purchase? And how can people make out if it's duplicate? Secondly, even if it's duplicate, it's ofcourse sad. But when it's working on u, u can let it be. Can't change it, so it's okay. Thirdly, u can take ur Foundation bottle to the store, compare it with store's packaging and try to figure out if it's original or not. Or u can even ask the sales rep there. After considering these points, I'd suggest to make a decision if u want a new foundation from Mac store or not. It's ur call entirely. Hope it helps. And thanks a lot for the comment, the foundation does look perfect on me, but everyone has their own opinion so it's okay. 🙂
Yar I bought mac 30 small packaging from Nykaa but I found that the fragrance is very weird. It’s like sone medicine. U r using it. Is it small like a medicine, please answer?
I really cannot comment on that because every skin is different, I can't say what might worsen the breakouts for u, or not. To me, it didn't effect my acne.
Hi, the best match of nc20 in huda is 240N Toasted Coconut. But its better if you check it out yourself, because if Nc20 oxidizes and then matches u, then u might wana go for a darker shade in huda.
Thanks for watching! But trust me, it oxidizes so much that literally after half n hour, NC25 just melts in my skin! I wish I could share a pic in this post to show u, how after sometime it looked on me in a wedding!!! Anyhow, sorry dear I really don't remember which lipshade is this.

If ur skin tone is like mine, you can try NC25. It definitely looks light in the beginning, but once it settles down, it matches me perfectly. 😊😊
@@nuzhatnazeer012 Sorry for the late reply. TH-cam doesn’t send notifications now. There is a MAC store in Aerocity.
I agree , most of the Mac store executive these days lack basic knowledge. It wasn’t same earlier when store were less in number and now with many stores coming up the standard of makeup representatives have gone low
You could have mixed the NC 25 with a just a little 41 and make a perfect shade. NC 25 looks a bit lighter. Then again it's personal preference..
After it settles down, the NC25 looks damn perfect.
How long time it takes to settle down
Unfortunately this shade is too light for you, it looks off towards the end. Like a white cast. I suggest maybe mixing in a bit of that darker shade that you aren’t using. Nice eye makeup! Love it

Lucky You!!
L.A. Girl has a very inexpensive pigment for fixing foundation that is too warm. It is actually blue in color and u only add a tiny bit, gradually.
The same thing happen with me..i purchased it from mac store.they said that your match is nc30.nd then i just purchased..nd i have used only two or three tyms.i should have gone for nc20 at that tym.nd now i feel if will purchase mac my money will be waste cuz may be i will not get my exact shade.but mac foundation are really good if you find your exact shade.
Yes, if u find your shade the foundation is perfect. But it gets so hard to find!
@Saba Siddique you can ask them to give you samples to try at home. They give cute little bottles of different shades 😉
Finally!!! Was waiting for this ❤❤❤❤ Thanks for the review.

Try second hand app This fir That. U won’t get money but can swap for another brand
@@chitsb Thanks a ton. Will try and update
I have mac NC 40 and have similar experience, to cancel out the orange you need a bit green corrector, mix it up you can see the colour change
You can use the colour mixing pigment from L.A girl in shade blue to make it neutral or mix yellow to make it light/warm
Ma’am, which shade of the powder will go with NC20 ? I have a medium light skin tone so is NC20 good for party makeup ?

Which shade is lighter
Not your shade at all
It will oxidize soon.
Grt..could u plz tell ur maybelline shade.? That will be really helpful.
220 is my exact shade.
I think you are a cool undertone, so NW25 or NW30 will blend better on your skin

What is the shelf life of this foundation.
On nykaa it is 2 years.
Does it give any breakouts??
It didn't give me any break outs.

It is seriously not! It oxidizes a lot and become my perfect shade after a while.
@@ShimmerNShine oh okay yeah btw looks nice on you sister
Does this foundation is waterproof
Not completely, but I would say it's water resistance.
What MAC powder shade should I use for this NC 25 liquid foundation?
It's best to goto store and checkout yourself. It depends on ur skin tone.
Iski validity kitne years ki hai..I mean to say manufacturee date k baad kitne saal tak use kr skte hai??
It's 1 year
I had the same colour issues
And which colour of concelr
No idea of concealer. But I use Maybelline age rewind in the shade neutralizer.
I think you are an NC30. Its not orangy.
Does it oxidize
Oh Yes, a lottt! Better to buy 2 shades lighter than your skin tone
Yes. It oxidises a lot

During winters we are generally on the lighter side and in summers, because of tan and sweat our skin gets a little dark.
