The color number of MAC liquid foundation can be selected according to the following steps:
1. Understand your own skin color type: Skin color is mainly divided into cool tones, warm tones, and natural tones. People with cool toned skin may have a slight pink or blue tint on their skin; People with warm toned skin will have a slight yellow or golden tint on their skin; People with natural toned skin have skin that does not appear pink, blue, or yellow, but falls somewhere in between. Skin color can be determined by observing the color of blood vessels on the wrist: blue or purple is a cool tone skin color, blue-green is a natural tone skin color, and light green or olive is a warm tone skin color.

Specific color codes such as N12, N16, N18, etc. NC series: Suitable for cold toned yellow skin, it can create a soft and flawless skin effect. Specific color codes such as NC15, NC20, NC25, etc. NW series: suitable for warm toned yellow skin, can brighten skin tone. Specific color codes such as NW13, NW20, etc.
3. Color testing and selection: It is recommended to go to the counter for color testing, as everyone's skin color and preferences are different. When testing the color, don't just test the color on the back of the hand, but smear it on the position where the jaw meets the neck. Choose three foundation make-up with the same color and similar brightness, and see which color has the feeling of disappearing into the skin, which is the appropriate color number. Considering the oxidation of skin color, the color of MAC liquid foundation will be slightly darker after oxidation, so you can choose a slightly lighter color number. Refer to the recommendations and color testing videos of other users on the internet, but pay attention to individual skin color differences, and the final choice still needs to be based on the color testing.
