NC40 Foundation Matches

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!

  1. Hi… I have the same skin tone as yours and I have been using Nars Sheer Glow in shade Stromboli as well as BB serum foundation in shade Warm Natural 4.5 and I’m in love with the Too Face Foundation Bur can’t decide if I should opt for Golden Beige/WarmBeige/sand.

    Can you please give me some suggestion. Thankyou
