MAC Full Coverage Foundation Palette — 12-Shade Pro Palette, 1 oz Cream-Cake, Water-Resistant Buildable Coverage

MAC Full Coverage Foundation x12 Pro Palette is a 12-shade cream-cake foundation set designed for professionals, offering buildable full coverage in an emollient, water-resistant formula.

This compact pro palette contains twelve 1 oz / 30 g cream-cake foundations in a curated range of NC and NW tones so artists can mix, match and customize coverage on any client. The texture is creamy and blendable yet designed to set long-wearing and resist water, making it suitable for corrective work, editorial shoots, film, and everyday wear when higher coverage is needed. It applies sheer with a damp sponge or delivers true full coverage when stippled on dry.

How do I get sheer versus full coverage with this palette?

Layering technique and tool choice determine the finish. A damp sponge picks up less product and helps sheer out the cake foundation for natural-looking coverage. For opaque, corrective application, use a dry sponge or a dense brush and build with small stippling motions until you reach the desired opacity.

• Sheer finish: damp sponge, blend in thin layers
• Medium coverage: damp sponge with more product or light stippling
• Full coverage: dry sponge or dense brush, stipple and build
• Mixing: layer or blend shades in pan to neutralize undertones

Which shades are included and how can I mix them to match skin tones?

The palette includes a balanced selection of NW and NC shades: NW5, NW45, NW40, NW30, NW25, NW20, and NC5, NC45, NC35, NC30, NC20, NC15. Use the lighter and darker pans to create custom matches, or combine warm (NC) and cool (NW) undertones to neutralize redness or sallowness. Swatch on the jawline to refine mixtures for a seamless match.

• 12-shade range: cool and warm undertones in light to deep options
• Mix warm and cool shades to balance undertones
• Create transitional shades by blending adjacent pans
• Use the lightest shades for highlighting and the darker for contouring

Is this suitable for covering scars, blemishes and other discoloration?

The emollient, cream-cake consistency is formulated to provide high coverage that can mask most surface discolorations when applied correctly. For isolated spots, apply with a small brush or fingertip and set with translucent powder to lock the product in place. Because the formula is water-resistant, it maintains coverage under challenging conditions better than many lightweight liquids.

• High-opacity cream-cake formula for corrective coverage
• Targeted application: small brush for blemishes and scars
• Set with powder for longer wear and transfer resistance
• Water-resistant properties help retain coverage in humid conditions
