FAQ
What does NC38 mean in MAC's shade system?
NC stands for Neutral Cool — a warm undertone with a subtle pink-warm flush. NC38 is a medium shade, one step deeper than NC37, suited to medium skin tones with neutral-cool undertones.
How does NC38 compare to NC40?
NC38 is medium depth. NC40 is the next shade up — slightly deeper and more suitable for medium-to-dark skin tones.
Can I use this as a concealer too?
Yes — the stick format makes it ideal for spot-concealing blemishes and imperfections as well as all-over coverage.
