I really love how it boosts my skin in radiance and looks so natural! A good skincare serum foundation that has buildable coverage
My new holy grail foundation for mature skin
I tried this product last week at Ulta and immediatly bought it. I'm 53 and while I still have very good skin, w no wrinkles yet, I have found that foundations I used to use sit differently on my skin now. This MAC foundation however, went on smoothly and did not sit on the skin giving that caked on look. It covered perfectly, and stayed on all day, giving a flawless look. I will definitely be purchasing this again.
Beautiful radiant formula
I love how this looks on my 45 year old skin, it gives the perfect coverage without be heavy or cakey. My skin looks radiant and youthful!

Comments about NW22
I have bought Mac foundation before and really liked it. This is nothing like a foundation, however. It is a really thin, watery tinted moisturizer. Also I ordered the same shade but it seems way more orange.

I am currently wearing N12, but it is slightly too light. Chat GPt said to go to N18. I feel I have some redness in my skin. Would N 18 be a good next step. I do not like yellow tones at all. Please let me know as soon as possible. I am out of foundation. Thanks
- Asked by glyna
- Official Answer By MACThanks for your question! If the MAC Studio Radiance Serum-Powered Foundation in N12 is only slightly too light, N18 would be the next shade deeper and is a great step to try for a closer match. Since you mentioned redness and that you prefer to avoid yellow tones, you may also like prepping the skin with MAC Studio Fix 24HR Color Corrector in shade "Mint". The pale green shade helps neutralize redness before foundation application, giving you a more even-looking complexion. We hope this helps you find your perfect match!Was this answer helpful to you
