THANK YOU JESUS SOMEONE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE! lol. THIS young lady here is a true NC45 to me. I think this foundation was intended for that caramel/golden honey skin tone. I used to see chicks on youtube waaaay lighter or darker than this picture claiming an NC45 and I got soo confused. There was NO way all these people could use the same color! I mean honestly if you are Sanaa Lathan/Nia Long's complexion or darker you can tell THROUGH THE BOTTLE that NC45 isn't the right color.
Ladies, its 2009 and we need to stop with the colorstruck stuff. There is NOTHING wrong with being light or dark, just get a foundation that matches! We really need to hold these lazy/ignorant MUAs accountable and really ask for a color that WORKS. Make the MUA try on every foundation at the counter on you until you find one that matches if need be. There is no reason to be throwing away money on products that don't work and do you a grave disservice by making you look ashy or dirty. MAC isn't the only cosmetics company in the world. If you're an in-between shade and MAC products aren't matching GO ELSEWHERE. Try Clinique (I use their Even Better foundation in Creme Caramel) Bobbi Brown (Golden works well), Makeup Forever or even a drugstore brand like Iman. Embrace your shade and own it!
