A lot of them were neutral, and some of them were actually cool. And then one day it occurred to me: most of my foundations were not straightforwardly warm.
Over the years, I amassed quite the foundation collection, and I’d found my perfect match for nearly all of them. My skin did have plenty of visible yellow in it, after all.
But the girl who matched me told me my skin tone was straightforwardly warm, and I believed her. I couldn’t quite pinpoint it at the time, and assumed that I must just not like MAC’s foundation formula. I was not as knowledgeable about foundation back then, but I do remember feeling that it looked off. Years ago, I was matched as an NC25 in MAC’s Studio Fix Fluid Foundation. On the left is NC15, right is NW13 in MAC Studio Fix Fluid.
