NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation M1.5 is a medium, cool-toned shade that sits in a well-populated part of the colour space. 12 other foundation lines carry something measurably close, and the nearest — Too Faced Born This Way Undetectable Medium-to-Full Coverage Foundation Porcelain — is within ΔE 1.2, which is close enough that most people would not see the difference on skin.

M1.5 Vallauris in every other brand
Across the 14 lines that carry something close, the measured distance runs from ΔE 1.2 (Too Faced) out to ΔE 6.0 (NYX Professional Makeup). 6 of them hold the same cool undertone; the rest shift, which matters more than a small difference in depth. 12 land in the good band or better. Note that the closest shade by distance, Too Faced Porcelain, is neutral rather than cool — if undertone matters more to you than depth, MAC Cosmetics C3.5 at ΔE 1.3 is the better pick.
