- QI got matched for the NC25 but not a fan of the peachy undertone. What would come close to this color without the peachy undertone, I'm looking for something more neutral.
- Asked by Gigi
- Official Answer By MACThanks for your question! If NC25 feels a bit too peachy for your liking, you might want to check out NW22 - it offers a rosier, more neutral undertone while staying close in depth to NC25. It’s a great option if you’re looking to tone down the warmth without going too cool. For the best match, try swatching both on your jawline in natural light. And if you can, stop by a MAC counter to test in person - seeing it on your skin is always the best way to decide.Was this answer helpful to you
- QWhat powder works with this foundation to set it or should i just use setting spray
- Asked by Ayvah
- Official Answer By MACTo set your Studio Radiance Serum-Powered Foundation, we recommend using a light dusting of MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. This helps control shine while maintaining the foundation’s radiant, skin-like finish.Was this answer helpful to you

- Asked by Nikki
- Official Answer By MACWe have great news! NC15 will also be perfect for you in Studio Radiance Serum Powered Foundation. For an added moisture boost and petal-smooth skin, try pairing it with the MAC Hyper Real Serumizer Skin Balancing Hydration Serum!Was this answer helpful to you
- QWhat do the letters mean before the color numbers?
- Asked by Debbie
- Official Answer By MACGreat question! In MAC’s shade system, NC stands for Neutral Cool (for golden/yellow undertones), and NW means Neutral Warm (for pink/rosy undertones). The number reflects how light or deep the shade is—lower numbers are lighter, higher numbers are deeper. Hope this helps you find your perfect match!Was this answer helpful to you

My new favorite foundation
I'm excited to share my experience with this foundation, especially for people with extremely dry skin. As someone in the same boat, I've always struggled with foundations creating dry patches, but this one has turned out to be a game-changer. Mind you, I'm very picky with my foundation but the way ...

Comments about N12
Anyone who has a light neutral lightly olive skin tone knows that finding a foundation that doesn't make you look like an orange/yellow or ghostly clowns is very hard. I never used Mac foundations because I find them awfully orange and fake cakey looking on me. However, I got super excited when they introduced N shades! Unfortunately my excitement didn't last long - the foundation in N12 arrived and it's very peachy complete miss for my skin tone… why can't more companies make shades close to REVLON buff?! We are not all orange, pink or yellow…:(

Comments about NC10
I tried the Studio Radiance Serum-Powered™ Foundation in shade NC10, but I realized I should have gone for NW5 instead, since the undertone would suit me better. Shade aside, the formula is beautiful — it's super lightweight, feels almost weightless on the skin, and gives a really natural finish. Perfect if you want coverage that looks like skin.

That's my fav foundation ever, never changing it
Worked well on my dry skin.
Most foundations just go gross even with lotion and primer on my skin because of how dry it is. This seems to cover beautifully and has not left me with any patches.
