MAC NW10 to NW20 Foundation Matches/Equivalents

MAC NW10 and NW20

MAC NW10: very fair beige with rosy undertone for fair skin

MAC NW20: warm neutral beige with rosy undertone for light to 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!
