What's the recipe for Mac NC 30 and 35?

I'm sure there's a answer out there, but the search is hard to refine. Any input, ladies?

Mac NC 30 and Mac NC 35. I know its just a notch difference, but I'm hyper that way.

I really have never seen MAC foundations. I do know NC runs in our Warm Gold range and that 30 and 35 are both in the medium to medium deep range. The difference in the two is probably only a scoop or 2 of Ivory. My guess is Mac NC35 is close to a 1:3-5. That makes Mac NC 30 about a 1:4-6.

Hmm... that's interesting. Cuz I am a Mac NC 30/35 and i'm currently using Buttery Gold : Heavy Ivory (1:4), and it oxidises and turns really much darker. I've tried Warm Gold before and its the same thing. It oxidises and turns dark.

It probably is too dark, then. Try adding a scoop or so of Ivory. It is not oxidizing. That is a chemical reaction and the ingredients here are inert. People say it is oxidizing because it looks similar to rust. All that is really happening is that the oils from your skin are mixing with the foundation.

I used to wear NC25 in winter and NC30 in summer, and my current blend is 6:1 ivory to warm gold. I'm on the pale side right now. Hope that helps!

hi new3pgh, every tip helps!

ok, ladies, I'll go home and give warm gold a try again, and add more scoops of ivory =) Thanks!
