Hey guys! Does anyone know if MAC's NW toned foundations is a little bit darker than the NC ones? I know that W stands for warm and C for cool, but seriously my foundation is NW15, that means the lightest shade, and it's too dark for me, what should i do? Does anybody know if MAC sells something you could mix it with so it gets lighter or another brand or so?

The tone does appear deeper, but the difference is more in the undertones. Depending on what formula you're using, adding some of the Face & Body in white (Pro product) may help.

Otherwise, check another brand that offers more options for pale skin.

Thank you! But do you think you can mix the face & body with macs studio sculpt foundation, cuz it's a lot thicker... and do you know if all MAC stores sell the face & body in white? (sorry for all the questions

I mix foundations all the time and I haven't had a problem. I currently am using F&B with Make Up For Ever's Mat Velvet+ & HD without issue.

You'll have to call a PRO store (unless you're a pro member), since they've changed the website. Check the store locator for the closest location to you.
