Numbers between 4 and 20 are for fair complexions, 20 to 40 for medium skin tones, and 40 to 54 for darker complexions. The letter represents the undertone: C for Cold, NC for Neutral and Cold, N for Neutral, NW for Neutral and Warm, and W for Warm. A tip from M·A·C: when in doubt, choose the lightest shade to avoid demarcation.
