Buying foundation is such a hit or miss thing for me. Somehow I always end up with a shade that's completely wrong for me. And then I discovered this fantastic megathread at r/MakeupAddiction where the makeup aficionados there listed all the popular foundation shades that matched their skin tones.
Mac NC42 vs Fenty 330 Fenty 330 is slightly darker and more yellow/golden than Mac NC42. Overall, this is a good match. Windows movie maker mac os. Mac NC45 vs Fenty 370 This is a very close match; almost perfect. Mac NC46 vs Fenty 380 Fenty 380 is a tiny bit darker than Mac NC46 and it has a red undertone while Mac NC46 has a neutral-yellow undertone. Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation.

I wanted to make that super useful resource easier to use, so I've extracted the shade info from the thread and sorted it by MAC shade.
