Oh My MAC! Got Some New Foundation and Powder :)

Isn't it pretty?? ;) So I went to the MAC counter at Macy's today and sat down and had a consult with a really sweet girl. I discovered that I am a NC20. Its always nice to get someone else's opinion on what they think your skin tone is. I have a more Olive skin tone and I'm pretty light right now since summer was months ago now. boo hoo :( lol

Now how MAC works is they have foundation shades based on warms and cools. Here is a basic break down that I learned from my MAC consultant today:

C -     Is for Cool. Best for yellow, golden olive skin.
NC -  Is for Neutral Cool. So is best for skins with a slight golden glow. Common color.
N -     Is for Neutral. Beige skin. Common color.
W -    Is for warm. So best for pinkish skin.
NW - Is for Neutral warm. Pink beige skin.

So this is to distinguish between different skin tones. They also range there colors from light to dark. 15 is the most pale up to 55 the darkest.

Very cool info. It was really fun talking to the girls at the counter and its always fun to sit in their make up chairs and get a little pampered :) I strongly recommend getting a consult before you buy their make up so you are getting the right color for you.

So the two Products I got were the Pro Longwear SPF10 Foundation and the Select Sheer Pressed powder. Super excited to start using them! I will let you know what I think after I try them out a little.

Now I am on the hunt for some amazing make up brushes....I am narrowed down to the Sigma Brushes and the MAC brushes... I will be keeping you in the loop about what I decided!!

Here is a video showing you a peak inside what the foundation and powder actually look like on the inside and their packaging!! I also give you a few more details on the process my consultant took me through to discover what my correct shade was:
