MAC NC15 to NC20 Foundation Matches

MAC NC15 and NC20

MAC NC15 is a light beige shade with golden undertone for light skin.

MAC NC20 is a light beige shade with neutral golden undertone for light skin.

Buying foundation is such a hit or miss thing for me. Somehow I always end up with a shade that’s completely wrong for me. And then I discovered this fantastic megathread at r/MakeupAddiction where the makeup aficionados there listed all the popular foundation shades that matched their skin tones.

I wanted to make that super useful resource easier to use, so I’ve extracted the shade info from the thread and sorted it by MAC shade.

The full list contains all the MAC shades.

Enjoy!
