Too Faced Born This Way Undetectable Medium-to-Full Coverage Foundation Swan is a light, neutral-toned shade that sits in a well-populated part of the colour space. 12 other foundation lines carry something measurably close, and the nearest — MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Foundation NW10 — is within ΔE 0.4, which is close enough that most people would not see the difference on skin.

Swan in every other brand

Across the 14 lines that carry something close, the measured distance runs from ΔE 0.4 (MAC Cosmetics) out to ΔE 5.8 (NYX Professional Makeup). 5 of them hold the same neutral 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, MAC Cosmetics NW10, is cool rather than neutral — if undertone matters more to you than depth, Maybelline 125 Nude Beige at ΔE 1.7 is the better pick.
