MAC Face and Body Foundation

Hello! I have something to talk to you about!

MAC Face and Body foundation

 MAC Face and Body foundation offers sheer coverage that is buildable. It sets on its own to a satin finish, but I find it requires powder on oily or combination skin. It contains cucumber and smells and feels fresh and lovely on the skin.They are fairly long-wearing, and blend nicely especially with a silicone-based primer.
But that is not why I am writing about them. I will be discussing the MAC colour system for their foundations.

Not all MAC foundations are numbered on the same scale, but for the most part, they are either NC (yellow undertones) or NW (peachy pink undertones). MAC Face and Body, however, are either C (yellow undertones) and N (peachy pink undertones).

They are then numbered based on how fair or dark they are. For example, C1 is a light beige with yellow undertones, and N7 is a warm russet colour.

Here are the 6 I bought! The swatch photos were taken in daylight. Click to enlarge.

I made the swatches as accurate as possible in terms of colour. Hope this helps!
