Common color. N - Stands for Neutral.

Ive found MAC foundations to be so easy to apply. Unlike most foundations it doesnt dry as quickly so its very much easy to blend and smooth out. It also doesnt have that powdery look afterwards so its great for all skin types including dry. Most of all there isnt that awful shine you get with some foundations, even if your skin is oily MAC foundations seem to work with every skin type. You can layer the foundation up or keep it to simply not there bare. They are a great way to get your perfect match with their personal colour chart that Highstreet Brands just simply dont have. I myself go between NC30 and NC40 - a great way to mix. Kate It should really be mentioned here that MAC does NOT adhere to the beauty world standard in their definitions of warm and cool (as Anonymous above has mentioned). Basically every other makeup company sticks to the real definitions-- that warm skin tones have yellow/olive undertones and cool skin tones have pink undertones, not the other way around. MAC uses the reverse for some reason, but they are the only respected makeup brand that I have seen that does this. So, just a warning that people should NOT use MAC's definitions of warm and cool when buying ANY other foundation (aside from MAC's, of course). I hope not too many people see this guide and think that these definitions of warm and cool are the standard because there is no warning to the contrary! Anonymous The closest shade to my skin I can be matched with is NC42, however I have actually noticed, particularly in photographs, that this foundation actually makes me look peachy/pink. At first I thought it was the lighting, but then I kept taking photos in different lighting and realised it was the foundation. At first when I put it on, its nice and golden, albeit maybe a tad too yellow, but then after about 3 hours on, it starts to look peachy/pink/red and dull. Its definitely not my primer, or my moisturiser.
