NYX Professional Makeup Can't Stop Won't Stop Full Coverage Foundation 6 reads medium with a neutral undertone. Its closest equivalent anywhere in the catalog is Il Makiage Woke Up Like This Flawless Base Foundation 55, at ΔE 1.9 — an excellent match — though only 2 of the other 14 lines get within that kind of range.

6 Vanilla in every other brand

Across the 12 lines that carry something close, the measured distance runs from ΔE 1.9 (Il Makiage) out to ΔE 7.0 (Maybelline). 5 of them hold the same neutral undertone; the rest shift, which matters more than a small difference in depth. 2 land in the good band or better — Il Makiage, Estée Lauder. Note that the closest shade by distance, Il Makiage 55, is cool rather than neutral — if undertone matters more to you than depth, Laura Mercier 2N1 Cashew at ΔE 4.9 is the better pick. 2 further lines have nothing close enough to list.

Where there is no match

2 lines carry nothing within ΔE 7 of 6 Vanilla, so they are left out of the table above rather than padded with a match that would not work: e.l.f. Cosmetics, L'Oreal Paris.
