Hi lovely ladies.

Has anyone tried the MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof foundation? If so what was your experience in removing it?

Also for a good contour color the only color that suits me is Mac Format blush...I have tried using Sunpower but that is too red for me. I have tried the contour stuck from The Blackup makeup line and it is ruddy on my skin. Looking for something that is not too ashy or red. Any suggestions?

(I'm NC45 in Mac)

Thank you in advance! :)

I have the MAC Nourishing Foundation. Love it. As far as removing I do a double cleanse. I use either Bobbi Brown Soothing Oil Cleanser or NUDE Skincare Cleansing Balm (oil based as well) first and then go in with Philosophy Purity Gel Cleanser. That process does an awesome job at completely cleansing my skin.

As far as contouring...check out Bobbi Brown's foundation stick in either warm almond or golden almond. Both do not have a red undertone to them. I'm a nc45/nc50 for reference.

Thank you Shelley.

As I use this foundation I fall in love each time. It is very natural and isn't too yellow like the Pro Longwear Foundation and gives a skin like finish. It's not really hard to remove as other foundations I have used and my skin fills very soft afterwards. Just wanted to know other ladies' experiences. We always hear about the application but not the removal.

I will take in consideration the products you have suggested. :)

You're welcome Chanelle. Yes I must agree on the finish. Absolutely gorgeous. And I'm so happy to finally have a MAC foundation that not only doesn't oxidize on me but does not break me out like the other foundations in their lineup. I'm getting ready to finish up my first tube.

I haven't tried this foundation before. Is it matte? Is it full coverage? I've been using Philosophy's Purity Cleansing oil and then regular Purity Cleanser with my Clarisonic to remove my makeup from the day since I've been wearing some waterproof products. I've been loving MAC products lately so I might need to check this out. Thanks ladies!

Hey Tamara I compare it to a skin like satin finish.

It's not heavy or drying either which I found with the Double wear. I just love how natural it looks. I really don't get a matte finish compared to other foundations. It is full coverage.

Here is a picture for reference. I live in the Cayman Islands so it is pretty hot and humid along with sweat and a combo skin this holds up very well.

I don't have a clarisonic but a device that is similar. I use Sukin skin cleanser along with the Nip+Fab Skin products which is awesome!

Shelley I believe the worse one of the Mac foundation line to oxidize is the Studio Fix with my experience.

I'm not really a full coverage type of girl since my skincare is working so well as of lately. I have studio fix and it works well for me. I don't have any issues but it could be because I only use the pressed powder version of the foundation for my lazy days of doing makeup. I felt Double Wear was too heavy also. I live in Florida so I completely understand. We are finally getting some cool weather this week but it isn't going to last long.
