Mary Kay Bronze 507 equivalent in mac

Hi darlings,
I hope you had a great day! Today’s post is all about how to find your foundation shade especially when looking to switch from one brand to another. I know how frustrating and time-consuming it can be when you have to use the shade finder section of a makeup site. They start to ask if you have cool, warm or neutral undertone. Some even ask you to choose your blended tone, whether it’s pink, yellow, red, golden or olive…who’s got time for that? 🙁 . I get quite a number of calls and emails as regards this topic and thought to put it up, so it will be a lot easier to find your foundation shade here and make up your mind quickly on which brand to go for. We’ll be working with 8 makeup brands that are oil-free and mostly used by women of color. Now, let’s get right into it, shall we?!

MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 & Mary Kay Timewise Matte-Wear Liquid Foundation

MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 ~ NW47

Mary Kay Bronze 507 equivalent in mac

I've had this foundation for a few years now but I stopped using it around 2013. MAC cosmetics had a high reputation in releasing quality products so I decided to finally purchase a foundation from them. I chose the studio fix fluid as it's: oil free, a matte finish and contains SPF 15. It is also full coverage! The MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation has all the attributes I look for in a foundation.

The Coverage

The coverage is amazing. I could use this foundation without concealer and that is a bonus! I have discolouration and an uneven skin tone so I'm always after a full coverage foundation. One layer does the job!

The Colour Match

NW47 is slightly lighter than my skin tone. I found that the shade NW48 is darker than my skin tone so I opted for the NW47. I don't mix this foundation as blending helps the foundation match your skin tone.

PRO'S:

~ I do not have to re-apply this foundation throughout the day it definitely stays on my skin for a full day. 

~ The matte finish and oil-free helps me stay shine-free!

CON'S:

~ This foundation does not feel lightweight at all. One of the main reasons I do not use this foundation anymore is because it feels very heavy on my face.

~ The smell of the foundation puts me off too. Unfortunately it reminds me of thick paint (the smell does fade away during the day though...)

~ Isn't a natural finish. 

I purchased the foundation pump separately ~ Purchase Here~ £4.00

             Mary Kay Timewise Matte-Wear Foundation ~ BRONZE 7

I've been using Mary Kay's foundation for several years but they re-developed their foundation. Since the new design I've been using Mary Kay for over 2 years. This is definitely my go-to foundation! It's made for: combination/oily skin, a buildable coverage, suitable for sensitive skin, oil-free and non-comedogenic. 

The Coverage

The coverage is a buildable coverage meaning layering the foundation until you find a coverage that suits your skin. With this foundation if I use one layer I definitely have to use concealer but if I use two or more layers I can use minimal concealer. I tend to wear more layers of foundation if I'm going out somewhere nice for full coverage.

The Colour Match

I'm in colour Bronze 7 and during the autumn/winter it does come out a little bit too dark for my skin tone but not noticeable at all! I got this foundation tested on me during the summer (not very smart of me) so it matches my exact skin tone during Spring/Summer. 

PRO'S

~ It feels ultra-lightweight and does not feel like I'm wearing foundation at all!

~ The matte finish gives me a mattified and shin-free look. 

~ The colour match makes my skin look effortlessly flawless!

CON'S

~ Buildable coverage means wearing more makeup when I'm going out. To get my ideal coverage I usually have to put 2-3 layers of this foundation. 

~ The packaging is in a plastic tube so it's very easy to squeeze out too much product :(
