This Match My MAC NC42 Foundationpost is for everyone who wears MAC NC42.
You probably want to change your foundation but you are unsure of what shade to go for in a different brand and this is where I can hopefully help!
I tried so many foundations over the years, I could open a shop!
As my skin type changed so did the foundations and requirements.
In the winter, I would look for a hydrating foundation, whereas in the summer I would opt for an oil-free mattifying liquid.
I also compiled a vigorous search for ones that could cover skin pigmentation and acne scarring.
So, it isn't surprising that I have a long list of tried and tested foundations, along with the correct shades that were the equivalent to the MAC studio fix foundation (that I original started with).
I have complied a list below of all my tried and tested foundations, over the years that I have found matched my skin tone in a MAC NC42 foundation.
I will continue to update this list when I have tried and tested more in the future.
