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!

Hello,
Which Double Wear color corresponds to MAC NC 50?
Thanks,
Angela
Nc50 matches which Double Wear shade?
I wear 6W1 (Sandlewood) in Double Wear and NC50 in all MAC formulations.
If you are Nc50 in SFF what shade would you be in the powder foundation?
