Another way to keep the NC & NW is this: NC’s are neutral cool shades (yellow tones). Think of the C standing for a (yellow) Canary. NW’s are neutral warms (pink tones). Think of the W standing for (pink) Watermelon. Hope that helps someone!
I just want to cry!!! You saved me some money "for now" lol I have my first bride. I've done makeup for a friend for her anniversary/renewal wedding. Im just starting and I already have 7 clients this month from word of mouth! Im excited and nervous because I'm a perfectionist and over analyze everything by nature. Angela thank you! Your details, organization and thoroughness to your gift and willingness of sharing all that you know is beyond generous MAY GOD BLESS YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS I am forever grateful.
I just got this palette yesterday and I haven't played with it yet! Thank you so much for thoroughly explaining everything about this palette! All my questions have been answered! I really appreciate your effort ❤
I use that corrector concealer palette and for the first time in years I get perfect color coverage for all my imperfections year round. Still praising the MAC makeup gods! Best coverage ever! Please never ever discontinue the correct concealer palette
The MAC Pro Discount is currently free to apply to as far as I know due to current world happenings! I have loved the Full Cov Palette since it first came out, and use it on almost every job, film, fashion, or bridal!
I have been waiting forever for someone to do an in-depth review and explanation of the M.A.C full coverage foundation for years! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passing it on to us I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this, you spent so much time and effort on this and it shows! You did your research and you clearly know what you’re doing and what you’re talking about. THANK YOU! ❤️🙌✊👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your videos are so helpful! I am a full time registered nurse, and provide makeup services as a side job. Your information is always so great! Thank you so much!
I officially watched 141 videos of you! Quarantine made me obsessed. Ive learned so much and repeat videos if i need too (color wheel is a difficult one for me). Your content is so educational. Thank you! P.s. i watched before bed, so i have had dreams of you doing makeup and telling me how to mix. 😳
Wow this is such a great in depth video! Thank you for the information! I had my first job working with male talent on a set the other day, and I used my studio finish concealer as foundation on them and it worked beautifully! I was wondering if the full coverage foundation and studio finish concealer were the same formulas and you answered that question for me! Thank you!
Great in-depth review yet again! Thank you. I've been eyeing this up for a while but just purchased Sian Richards 4k ( loveeee this!) So I'm trying to be financially sensible and hold off until my other products run low/empty! So harddddd haha.
the lighting and camera is better... your previous vedios is hurting un the eyes... i like this one because its clean and clear and very natural . i like the camera and not too much lighting i guess.. i love 💕 love 💕 ur videos its all very informative, i’m not a makeup artist but i love to learn 😍❤️
I can’t believe just now I’m watching this video! You have no idea how long I have been looking for this pallet review and it’s so hard to find. Even harder to find someone that we trust and with so much information. Thank you so so so much! When I watched your cinema secrets pallet review o was thinking in buy their pallet but now I think I will buy this one to start.
Thanks Daniel! I'll be doing more product reviews, I think we all need to be shopping smartly and watching our budget moving forward so hopefully these videos will help.
I wish you compared it to Graftobian palette too. I've purchased that in the past and misplaced it and I was going to purchase again but this looks great too and better for my shade of clients.
Thank you for the video. I was just thinking about getting this palette but I wasn't sure if I really needed it. I already have the RCMA palette and was wondering if the two were comparable. Your video answered all of the questions I had.
Totally not related but after I've discovered your channel I was thinking that you look a lot like somebody and I finally realised that you remind me of Courtney from Smosh team face wise 😅 Anyway I really love your channel 💕👍
You always bring it, Angie, always! Thank You!... I am a Face Atelier girl (for my pro kit) so I don't gravitate towards MAC but I appreciate the info!... that being said, how would you compare the two?
Hi everyone! Whoever is interested in a MAC pro discount, just wanted to let you all know that they are currently waiving the annual fee due to COVID-19, which is really considerate of them, and very helpful to us during these times. I just became a member a few weeks ago 😊
Watching in 2023! This was so helpful. I am building my kit and needed help understanding more about this palette. Is this considered a wax, or oil based? I know both ingredients are in there and was wondering if I can use silicone base primer
A good moisturizer is the best choice underneath this foundation, you can try it with a silicone based primer but you may find some separation on the skin after a while because of the waxes and oils in this palette.
I’m SO glad I found your page! This was so informative! I couldn’t find any information on this palette. I bought the MAC mixing medium as well, but not sure if it works with this palette ??
I haven’t tried that with this foundation, but it is silicone based so may not be the best match for this, but I would say give it a shot and see if it works.
I’ve been waiting for this video!! So since there are not many fair shades, what foundations from MAC do you recommend me getting? As a freelancer I decided to invest in this palette but I do want to have more fair skin makeup. Thank you love your videos!!
Hey! I mentioned in the video to think about adding the Full Coverage Foundation in White and the shade W10. Other than that for myself I have shades from Face Atelier (0.5 and 0-) and RCMA has a wide range for very fair skin that are also in my kit.
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m looking to build my bridal kit and wanted to add this to it! Would you say after using the rcma powder could you go in after with a skin tone powder?
That wouldn’t be necessary to set the foundation (the RCMA is enough) and for my application style that would be too much product in the skin, but give it a shot to see if it works for you.
Hi Angie! I loved this video, your tips are amazing! Once a MAC MUA told me that the concealer in the Conceal and Correct palette isn't the same as the Studio Finish (the one in the pot). In my experience the Studio Finish Concealer is drier than the ones in the Conceal and Correct palette! I would like to know if you have had the same experience as I did!
I just bought this a few months back along with the light & deep Studio Fix correct & conceal palettes to make light & deep shades. To moisturize/thin-out I bought the MAC Prep+Prime Essential Oils Stick. It has good reviews, and it seems nice. Have you tried the Pro Palette Painstick x12 (MAC version of MUFE Flash Palettes brights) to color adjust? Just thought I'd ask, since you & Terri just took us through color-wheel exercises. Thanks again Angie.
I haven't used the paint stick in many many years, but for a while they were a staple in my kit. The paint sticks are emollient based and work similarly to the MUFE Flash palette - they are less greasy but can seem more dry (if that makes sense).
I have a bunch of skin prep videos already posted - they are older so the filming/lighting/sound isn’t great but the concepts and products I use are still the same ❤️
Does MAC make a similar mixing medium like the RCMA foundation mixer? Is their mixing medium good for this foundation? Great video. Very informative as usual. 😁 💜
They have a variety of wax based mixing mediums (Shine, Matte, etc.) but I haven't tried any with this foundation. Hopefully someone who has used these with this foundation (or maybe works for MAC) can comment and let us know!
Are you saying that the studio fix concealer and the full coverage foundation are literally the same product? I.e. I can just use the concealer as a foundation? Cause that would save me so much $
Hey! Have you tried that yet? I’ve been having the same question in my mind as I already have the duraline in my kit. Would love to know from someone! Thank you!!
Will the Mehron Mixing Medium be okay to use to sheer out this foundation? I don't have the RCMA liquid but I was wondering if the Mehron Mixing Liquid could do the same?
I don't think so - I don't know if the ingredients would agree with one another. You can give it a try and see how it goes but my guess is no. You can also sheer it down with a simple moisturizer like Embryolisse.
@@JanaSiratranont you're welcome! I'm not creating new content for this platform anymore but if you enjoy this type of content definitely follow my MUA education account if you haven't already. instagram.com/artist2artist.co/
I know this question doesn’t have anything to do with Mac, but I’m not sure if you’ve decided to change anything about the way you go about makeup applications due to Covid? Such as implementing face masks and or shields etc... here in the states, there isn’t many steps one takes to ensure a safe application for makeup. Now I am a licensed cosmetologist and I have been implementing those steps into makeup but just curious if you were going to do anything different any tips would be helpful!
Yes I definitely am and I think all makeup artists are going to have to change their approach now, and beyond covid-19 to do whatever is necessary to keep themselves and their clients safe. I am in the process of completely changing my entire way of working and doing business. Once I have my new system figured out and reviewed by the appropriate people, I will start to share this with everyone. It is truly a complete overhaul so this will take some time.
What skin prep would work best for this depending on skin types? I used this on someone and I had a gel moisturiser w matte finnish and the foundation looked dry and a bit cakey. This also have a very dewy finish so how to make it long lasting on very oily skin in hot weather?
It sounds like your client's skin was not hydrated enough prior to application. To use this product on oilier skin types (of course it will differ from person to person) but you may want to experiment with different skin prep that hydrates but also controls oil, mattifying primer, and layering oil absorbing setting sprays throughout application (maybe not all at once).
I can't recommend one over the other - because they are both incomplete when it comes to having a full shade range in one palette. Regardless of what you purchase you will still need to supplement with additional shades/adjusters for your kit.
You would have to replenish with the individual shades. Before depotting them into this palette you would have to clean and disinfect the individual well.
After I moisturizer and prime the skin this foundation still seems to break up on the skin. What could the issue be? I’ve tried a brush and sponge for application.
There are lots of reasons why this could be happening - the ingredients in your moisturizer and/or primer may not work with the base of this foundation, you may be using too much moisturizer and/or primer, too much foundation, you may need to consider what you are setting it with etc. Sometimes you have to break down the application process and consider all these things when something isn't working so it can be frustrating!
Hi Angie! You might have a video addressing this already, but what are your thoughts on using airbrush mainly regarding bridal? Im afraid brides wont book me if I dont use an airbrush machine, do you find this to be true?
Hey Kelsi! A few things about airbrushing to think about: - There are some markets where a majority of artists airbrush for their bridal clients, if you are in a market like this you may want to consider airbrushing to stay competitive - You can have a successful business without airbrushing, I haven't airbrushed since the early 00's but with that being said I am moving back to airbrushing because I see it as a more hygienic way of makeup application moving forward (less touching, fewer brushes used).
Hi! Just found your channel. Can I mix this or the rcma with grape seed oil for a matte finish? I don’t want to rely too heavily on powders. I really would prefer to use single bottles such as studio fix liquid or makeup forever for each client but as a new MUA I have to think of what will stretch my funds longer. Any advice?
Hey! I haven’t tried mixing anything in my kit with grapeseed oil so I really don’t know how that would affect this foundation. Any cream products like this palette or RCMA are not self setting products so you will need to powder them even when mixed or diluted unless you are working on something where you don’t need to set the foundation (maybe for a luminous finish on a shorter shoot) but for longevity and to prevent the foundation from really moving around on the skin in my experience they need to be set with powder.
Angie Di Battista thanks! I worked on someone a few days ago. She had dry skin. I didn’t realize my Mac cream palette had the oil that you mentioned in it because it’s listed as a studio fix product so I mixed it in with some beauty oil from Danessa Myricks to help it not be too matte on her skin but once I put the powder on (which was very little because she has dry skin and I wanted to keep the glowy look for pictures once we were done) the concealer creased so bad under her eyes! I ended up taking it off and redoing it. I prepped her with a hydration mask, under eye gel from cetaphil, vitamin c and moisturizer and primer before applying any makeup but under the eyes specifically just wasn’t setting clean. She said this always happens to her. I’ve mixed the beauty oil with the same Mac concealer before who also had dry skin but no creasing happened. She said it always happens to her no matter the MUA, what do you think it could be? Next time I will try very little product and set it and see how that works. Thanks!
@@slaybaenay depending her age/skin but u might want to try MAC eye cream that is that grey/white tube which really prepps that thin skin nice... I've had really dry flakey skin ynder the eye n that eye cream helped the makeup to stay put n look ok. The key is to not apply too much product under the eyes for minimal crease. So application should be in the inner corner n outer corner n then blend it outward from inner corner n going outward.. look up for rober welsh video for that better explanation
I have and the result is slightly better with Cinema Secrets because it is also emollient based. With Face Atelier there is some separation because the foundation is silicone based.
I don’t know what the brand name is unfortunately. I have purchased them from a few different places (dollar store, craft store) and I don’t have any left in their original packaging. I wouldn’t buy ones that are super thin because they are not strong enough. I look for ones that are a few millimetres thick (probably not helpful). I would also say maybe shop around and buy a few different ones to test first before you buy in bulk.
The easiest way to describe it is: Waterproof - fully resistant to water (product can resist complete water submersion) Water resistant - partial resistance to water to some degree (but not entirely)
I have no experience using the Graftobian palette so I wouldn’t have any feedback on that for you. The individual product is just called ‘Full Coverage Foundation’ (not sure if it is sold as something else in different markets) but on the Canadian and US websites you can find it.
Hi can you help me find these shades in the Cinema Secret foundation I’m trying find the pallet that would be equivalent to Mac Studio Fix NC45 NC46 NC47
You may want to look at the 300 Series Palette from Cinema Secrets, if you need deeper than that you would look at the 200 series palettes which gets into more golden/olive undertones.
Ok so I recently signed up for Mac Pro program and I didn’t see anywhere on the site that says you pay annually. Can you please Clarify what you mean because this is a shocker.
Mac is currently offering free memberships to pros because of the pandemic. Once things get back to normal it is likely they will continue charging for pro memberships which I believe need to be renewed annually.
@@AngieDiB Thanks! you're the best!!! I have the colorful one, I purchased it thinking of using it to color correct or practice more my color theory. But I'm a bit scared of trying it, it's sitting there new untouched.... I have Ben Nye Rainbow wheel also and I've been trying to test mixing colors with this one first as I grew more confidence. But I wanted to know if the MAC one could be used maybe as eyeshadow base as well or to mix lipstick shades, etc.
You should definitely experiment with it on yourself and give it a try (I try everything I have in my kit on myself to see how products work and how I can use them) - it is an emollient base so it will be easy to work with. With products like this that are very pigmented you have to be careful with use around the eyes and mouth (this is the same for the Flash Palette) there are some people that maybe be sensitive to the pigments (usually it's the reds/purples/pinks that can cause a problem, but this is not for everyone) so you will see on their site it is not recommended for eyes or lips even thought it is sold as a body paint.
@@AngieDiB I will be booking . Angie, I wanted to put in a request, if I may . Are you able to educate us on textured and darkspot skin . How to apply the makeup flawlessly like in your other videos.
