MAC NC30 to NC35 Foundation Matches/Equivalents

MAC NC30 and NC35

MAC NC30: light to medium beige with golden undertone for light to medium skin

MAC NC35: light to medium beige with peachy golden undertone for medium 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!
