Now onto the very confusing numbers that come after the Nw or Nc for instance you would have Nc15. This catogorie isn’t usually carried in most foundations as it is least popular and not many want to have a pink base. It has a pink time with a bit of orange for a cool tone. Nw is the first one that creeps into the pink tones. N has neither yellow or pink undertones and is just simply beige. Nc is a little more beige but still has very strong underlying yellow tones. Plus most people do not want to be pink which is why they have less selection in the W range.Ĭ is more for an olive undertones skin, it’s the coolest tone they sell. Generally most people do have warmer skin that is why Nc is well known. So for instance W and NW have more pink undertones to them and Nc and C have more golden undertones. ![]() The confusing thing with Mac is that they have swapped the tones around.

Nc- Neutral Cool (the most common and known).Īll of these categories are based on the different undertones in the foundation. ![]() Mac use 5 different shade catogories when it comes to foundation. I know they can be a little confusing especially at first, What’s Nc? Nw? What’s the difference? Well I actually did some research as I was looking into Mac foundations the other day and here’s what I discovered… So today I wanted to do a more informative post on understanding the concept of the foundation shades at Mac.
