#Mac foundation shades skin#

I have naturally rosy cheeks and very translucent skin which results in dark under my eyes and you can see my veins on my legs and arms very easily. She says the Cs are better for Asian skin with lots of yellow whereas I have both yellow and pink tones because I have naturally rosy cheeks and Ns and Ws can be better for that.Īnyway, I will try it on tomorrow and see how it goes but I'm a bit scared! From a C2 to an N4 - I've changed colour families and jumped 3 shades.įor reference, I'm very pale, stay out of the sun so don't really get tanned in summer but if I am in the sun I burn and then tan. She then ended up trying on N4 and N5 on me and has ended up selling me N5 but says in winter I should go for the N4.

She reckoned there are about 5 or 6 MAC foundation shades I could wear. We got talking some more and before I knew it she was telling me that I am not really a C2 and although it's not a wrong match it's not the optimal match for me. But then she said perhaps for winter NW25 would be better. So the SA first started off telling me I should go for NC25 because NC20 would be too 'white'. Today I went to buy more C2 as I have seriously hit the pan in my current compact and they had sold out of C2. At one stage they discontinued C2 and a SA told me I should instead use NC20 but they reinstated C2 so I never had to. Nobody has ever told me my foundation shade isn't right when I have repurchased and repurchased. I have been using it ever since and have been happy with it. I love MAC products but haven't really every got into the intricacies of their shade system for foundations.ĥ years ago the Myer Sydney City MAC SA sold me Studio Fix in C2.
