For a NC42, what shade in MMU?

[GoldenAngel]

I have spent so much on MMU samples in search of a match for my MAC NC42 skintone. I was wondering if any of you NC42/43 girls can share what mineral makeup foundation colors match you. If you have a pic you''d like to share, feel free to do so.

My mismatches are:

-Aubrey Nicole - goldens & warms contained too much peach

-Alima - will try again since I'm lighter but their goldens (G3-G7) looked a tad green on me. Closest match so far. The warms (w3 & w4) didn't have enough yellow.

-Meow - tried all the peach & yellow shades. I can get a decent match with a mix of Fierce Manx, Fierce Abysinnian and Naughty Angora.

-Lumiere - broke my face out in a rash & acne. Tried goldens and warms but no match. Coverage & texture was beautiful.

-EDM - medium tan is a lil too brown, not enough yellow. Love the coverage. Really wish I can find a match.

- Joppa - not enough yellow

- Bare Escentuals - med tan was not yellow enough. Itchy!

Well, I'm NC40 and I use Urban Decay Hallucination. This thread might help: https://forum.makeuptalk.com/f12...mmu-42510.html.

You sound just like me. I'm an NC42 and honestly, I ended up having to mix my 2 shades and a yellow concealer to get the right shade. It was perfect but way too much trouble. I tried every brand you can think of. My best maches were at Monave and they aren't in front of me so I'll come back later and tell you. I was getting really discouraged.

You may want to try Milan Minerals. Candace (owner) specializes in Black, Asian and "Latin" skin tones. I also have a very yellow base (when I'm not blushing), and I have found success with her materials. I don't think I have seen another company have as many realistic golden shades as that place.

Check out the website. MilanMinerals.com

Milan --I looked at some pictures (parasite eve's milan review) and I might try Olivia with a lil Brooklyn mixed in.

Monave - Not sure what color. Yolanda? Mirabella?

I don't have pics of myself without natural makeup in sunlight. All my pics are in nightclubs with flash or with me wearing the wrong makeup color. So I am posting some pics of celebrities with a similar complexion.

I think Lauren London's complexion is almost identical to mine's except I am a little lighter now due to lack of sun. These pics of her look more like me maybe cause she isn't wearing lots of bronzer. Here's an upclose pic of Lauren. http://allhiphop.com/promo/illseed/LLL2.jpg

I'm an NC42 and Alima's W6 works for me, so does Lumiere's Golden Medium Deep. I haven't found a match in Meow either though.
