Today’s post contains comparison swatches of various foundations that I own in medium shades. Whenever I buy new foundations I try to find the shade in the new line that is closest to one of the foundations I already own so that it matches the best. For reference I am NC37 in MAC Studio Fix Fluid and the two foundations that match me the best are MAC’s Matchmaster Compact in 1.5 and L’oreal’s Infallible Pro-Matte foundation in 104 (though I think 103 is really close as well). The rest of the foundations you see here are one’s that I have previously purchased and either realized they were too light, too dark, or had the wrong undertone. The swatches are each two coats and were swatched using my finger. They were allowed to dry for about five minutes. Hope these help my medium skinned makeup addicts!
