If you haven't already gotten your face & body foundation. I would go with the lightest color in the c range or the second to lightest color in the c category. Like C1 that seems to be what should match your skin tone of you are using that in the powder already. Hi all, So for the past two years I've been using MAC's Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NC43, namely because it matches my skin tone perfectly.However, I've been having the hardest time trying to find a concealer to match with it. Your perfect match won't be found through Bumble, Tinder, or Hinge, but rather through Il Makiage, a tech-focused beauty brand that uses machine learning to match your foundation shade to your skin tone all without ever actually seeing your face.

- 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.
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!
