Mac N30 Foundation

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.

Whether you use MAC products or not, you should know your average MAC foundation color. MAC was the very first professional cosmetic brand to tap into the consumer market. They were pretty much pioneers in color variety and still to this day, they possibly have the most diverse range of foundation colors for all skin types. Findation.com finds your perfect foundation color match in all liquid, mineral, loose and pressed foundations.

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.

Enjoy!

  • Enter as many shades as possible that you’ve used before. The more shades you enter, the better your recommendations will be.
  • Only tell us colours that are a good match for your skin. Would you buy that same colour again? If not, don’t enter it.
  • Don’t guess, if you can’t remember exactly which colour you used. Go check the packaging just to make sure!
  • If you’ve worn two different shades in the same foundation before (e.g. one in summer and another in winter), just tell us the one that is the best match for your skin for most of the year.
  • If you only tell us your matches in sheer coverage foundations or tinted moisturisers, we may not be able to give you a perfect match in a full coverage foundation.
