Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation 120C is a light, 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 — L'Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Foundation N1 Soft Ivory — is within ΔE 0.8, which is close enough that most people would not see the difference on skin.

120C in every other brand

Across the 14 lines that carry something close, the measured distance runs from ΔE 0.8 (L'Oreal Paris) out to ΔE 6.4 (NYX Professional Makeup). 3 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, L'Oreal Paris N1 Soft Ivory, is neutral rather than cool — if undertone matters more to you than depth, MAC Cosmetics NW10 at ΔE 2.5 is the better pick.
