Our foundations are uniquely based on colour theory, but you don’t have to be an Artist to meet your match. Determine your depth, learn your undertone and let us walk you step-by-step through finding every shade of you. Here’s how our Pros break it down...
UNDERSTANDING YOUR M·A·C FOUNDATION SHADE MATCH
LETTERS REPRESENT
UNDERTONE
Warm (W) undertones are defined as rosy.
Cool (C) undertones are defined as golden.
Neutral (N) undertones are an equal
balance of both.
Other brands tend to define cool and
warm tones as the opposite.
NUMBERS REPRESENT
SHADE DEPTH
The lower the number, the lighter the shade.
The higher the number, the richer the shade.
