M.A.C.
M.A.C. M.A.C. is known for it's impressive color range and the brand doesn't disappoint in the foundation field. Many lines may offer 20+ shades, but this typically means there are 10 to 15 shades on the light to medium end of the spectrum and a few dark shades tacked on the end. M.A.C., on the other hand, has products like M.A.C. Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15, $27, which comes in a hefty 35 shades to hit every complexion -- from the lightest shade (3.5) to the deepest, which clocks in at 58.
