- Q
I'm beige medium, number 3 on normal color, what color I need?
- Asked by Melissa
- Official Answer By MACWe're happy to help you determine your shade and tone family! For a medium complexion, some shades in the Studio Radiance Serum‑Powered Foundation to try are NC30, NW30, NC35, and NW35. This foundation has a luminous, hydrating finish, so it’s best to swatch along the jawline to see how it blends with your natural skin tone. If you’re more golden or yellow in undertone, try opting for the 'NC' shades like NC30 and NC35 and 'NW' shades (like NW30, NW35) if you're more rosy or have a pink undertone. Whether you lean warm, cool, or neutral, this formula gives a radiant glow while still feeling lightweight - perfect for everyday wear!Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
How do I find my shade ( color). I never tried Mac foundation .
- Asked by Donna
- Official Answer By MACThis foundation has a luminous, hydrating finish, so it’s best to swatch along your jawline to see how it blends with your natural skin tone. First decide whether you’re fair, light, medium, tan, dark, or deep. Then determine if your undertone is warm, cool, or neutral. If you’re more golden or yellow, try NC shades. If you’re more rosy or pink, try NW shades. The number represents the depth, and the letters reflect the undertone. No matter your undertone, this formula gives a radiant, lightweight glow perfect for everyday wear!Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
I 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
- Q

What 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 NW10
Jeanne, at Alpharetta Ulta, picked this out for me & she did a great job! I am pretty pale w/pink undertones; just turned 62 & have some teeny dry spots (used to be super oily when younger) & all foundations/tinted moisturizes, etc. settle in my pores/wrinkles, even w/high-end primers. Jeanne recommended this one & she was right! It actually gave me the teeniest dewy effect (not too much) & it covered the perfect amount w/out looking like pancake makeup! It suited my tone perfectly and literally lasted from lunch til 8 p.m. Longer if I hadn't taken it off. I am SO happy that she was there & recommended this for me. I love MAC anyway so this is great!
No
What would be great is if I ever received the product ordered online and never received it. I have made multiple calls to Ulta who used UPS for their delivery. UPS states that they delivered it to the wrong address, but I still don't have my product and I have been told that Ulta will look into it and call me and we're here in two weeks later and haven't heard a word.
Definitely serum powered
If you don't like dewy look this is definitely not for you. I have been topping it off with setting powder so that helps. If you normally wear 2n2 este lauder do not get the color match here of NC27. It's orange. Get nc17 or NC14.5
