Kat Von D Lock-it Tattoo Foundation in Light 48ħ. Guerlain Parure de Lumiere in 02 Beige Clair (EDIT : I’ve recently discovered 01 Beige Pale is a better match)Ħ. As different as all those swatches are from one another, all of them are either a perfect or very close to perfect match for my skin tone:ģ. Neutral skin tones, in particular, have a very wide range of possibilities, as evidenced by my swatch arm below. Instead of being limited by your neutral skin tone, the presence of both pink and yellow undertones might actually broaden your choices – you could have an NW and an NC match out there!Įveryone’s skin is made up of a multitude of colors – it’s all about finding which ones you want to lead with. If you really luck out (as I did), you’ll have more options than you think. You might be surprised and find that there is a color for you. The point of this story is: If you have a neutral skin tone, and don’t like how you’ve been matched for your MAC foundation in the past, keep trying.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC15, plus MAC Cremeblend Blush in “Glamour Feast,” Satin Lipstick in “Twig.” NW13 works as well, though it’s a titch too light. And guess what? In the end, I was an NC after all – NC15 in Studio Fix Fluid, to be exact. I went through this routine many times – getting an almost match, and then going back again (NW15 was workable, but had a somewhat dulling effect). Back it went, which is just as well, because as it turns out, I hate the finish of Mineralize Moisture Foundation (too dewy). Then I tried it on again at home, and it was wrong. I was so ecstatic to have finally found my match, I told everyone I knew the exciting (* cough* boring * cough*) news! I posted it on Facebook, on Instagram, I messaged my friends, I told my sister about it – really, any captive audience I could find. The first MAC employee I met with matched me as NW20 in MAC Mineralize Moisture Foundation. I did not, and have never, brawled with a MAC employee. Determined to know my true match was, I went back to MAC and asked for a rematch. Not long after that epiphany, I went through the arduous process of finding my match in Kat Von D’s Lock-it Tattoo foundation, and it was this process that helped realize that I was definitely not NC25. A lot of them were neutral, and some of them were actually cool. And then one day it occurred to me: most of my foundations were not straightforwardly warm. Over the years, I amassed quite the foundation collection, and I’d found my perfect match for nearly all of them. My skin did have plenty of visible yellow in it, after all. But the girl who matched me told me my skin tone was straightforwardly warm, and I believed her. I couldn’t quite pinpoint it at the time, and assumed that I must just not like MAC’s foundation formula. I was not as knowledgeable about foundation back then, but I do remember feeling that it looked off. Years ago, I was matched as an NC25 in MAC’s Studio Fix Fluid Foundation. I myself go between NC30 and NC40 - a great way to mix.On the left is NC15, right is NW13 in MAC Studio Fix Fluid. They are a great way to get your perfect match with their personal colour chart that Highstreet Brands just simply dont have. You can layer the foundation up or keep it to simply not there bare. Most of all there isnt that awful shine you get with some foundations, even if your skin is oily MAC foundations seem to work with every skin type. It also doesnt have that powdery look afterwards so its great for all skin types including dry. Unlike most foundations it doesnt dry as quickly so its very much easy to blend and smooth out. Ive found MAC foundations to be so easy to apply. If you have irish in your blood you could be W or NW. (only available in Studio Fix Foundation) So is best for skins with a slight golden glow. Common color. Its pretty simple unless your really rubbish at remembering! Okay so.Ĭ - Stands for Cool. So many of you are confused as to what the difference is between MAC's foundation shades (C, NC, N, W, NW).
