Find your foundation shade in different brands # 2 | MAC Pro-long wear Foundation NC 30 | High end Foundation

by - 10/10/2015




I previously done a post on MAC's NC 40/42 (here), where I listed different foundation/pressed powder/loose powder from different brands that are same/similar shade to MAC's NC 40/42. The reason I used MAC as a model is because everyone who is into makeup or are getting into makeup have tried MAC at some point. It might or it might not have worked for them, but they have tried it and know what their shade is. I love MAC foundation, I absolutely swear by it and it works great for me. MAC's NC 40/42 is more on the medium side, so today I decided to do the something for my light skin girls. As from the title you can tell I will be using MAC's NC 30 to list all the shades that are a dupe to this shade from various other brands. This is not to say these shades are 100% accurate but they are a great reference when doing on line shopping. When doing online shopping it is really difficult to get the right shade, especially for foundation so I have come up with a list of foundation from different brands (high end) to make online shopping a little easier. MAC's NC 30 is more of light medium with yellow undertone, It's still medium but lighter than NC 40/42

    1. Hello Cristal! Thank you for your comment. I'm so sorry for the late reply. I have a few shades that will match the MAC NC 35 for Lancôme Teinte Idole Ultra 24H. You can check these shades out they are close to NC 35. They are: 380 BISQUE W, 280 BISQUE W, and 370 BISQUE W. I have narrowed it for you however I cannot 100% guarantee that it will match you, as different foundations have different formula. I would recommend you get a sample of these shades and see which one works for you. Hopefully I was helpful. Have a nice day : ).
