Hi,





here is a colour chart for Revlon Colorstay vs MAC Studio Fix Fluid





Ivory: NW15/ NC15 lightest of the bunch


Buff: NC20 best match for fair NCs


Sand Beige: NC20-25 with somewhat neutral undertones


Nude: NC25 with peachy undertones, definitely not for pinks or true golden


Natural Beige: NW20 tends to run pink


Medium Beige: NC27 between Sand Beige and Golden Beige


Fresh Beige: NW25 with pinky undertones


Golden Beige: NC30 with truest yellow/olive undertones


Warm Golden: NW30/NC30 with somewhat neutral undertones


True Beige: NW30 with pinky undertones (for Fresh Beige in summer)


Natural Tan: NC40/NC42 more neutral than golden caramel


Early Tan: NW35 with somewhat peach undertones


Rich Tan: NW35 with pinkish undertones


Golden Caramel: NC40/NC42 more golden than natural tan


Toast: NW43/NC45 with neutral undertones


Rich Ginger: NW45 very peachy-pink


Caramel: NC45 seems to run true to color


Cappucino: NC50 slightly more peach than Caramel


Mahogany: NW50/NC55 the darkest of NWs but not extremely peachy


Mocha: NW55 seems to be very cool toned, almost grey undertone





The thing is, with MAC foundations the NC or NW before the number stands for Neutral cool or neutral warm... You really need to be colour matched at MAC because whether your skin has cool or warm undertones can make a difference when getting the perfect match. If you have warm undertones (yellowy) go for NC. If you have cool undertones to your skin (pinky) go for NW to even it up.


As you can see for each Revlon colour there can be a few MAC colours. This is because MAC's spectrum is much more wide, as opposed to Revlon who have quite dramatic colour jumps!





You can use the above as a good guide though. And dont forget you can always return it, if you are not 100% happy. :D





Are you going to try the powder or fluid? Beware once you try one thing you will be hooked :DM.A.C makeup? I've heard great reviews of studio fix makeup,but I don't have any stores nearby to test shades?
