Which Full Cover Concealer for NC20 skin?

I am NC 20 and looking for the right colour in MUFE Full Cover Concealer. But no one sells MUFE here in Denmark.

I have it in number 3 LIght Beige, and it's absolutely too light for me. I wear MUFE HD foundation in 117, which is slightly light on me but works well especially in the winter.

Which number should I get in Full Cover Concealer?

I've never been officially matched to a MAC foundation, but I'm pretty sure that I'm a light NW/NC 20. My undertones are neutral/beige (neck leaning yellow & some pinkness in the face).

My full cover concealer match is #4 flesh. Other than that, I also use Liquid lift concealer #3 Light Beige, HD concealer #325 and Liquid Lift foundation #1 Porcelain. The foundation is just a tad too pink for my liking, but looks ok if used lightly and set with a more neutral or yellow powder. The one that I like the most (colour, coverage, finish and price-wise) is Liquid lift concealer #3. Still, if you need full coverage (pigmentation marks, distinct under eye circles, blemishes etc.), nobody does the job better than Full cover.

IMO either #4 or #6 would work best for you (depending on how strong/yellow are your undertones & if you're a 'light' or a 'dark' NC20). #4 might end up looking too neutral-toned and maybe even light (although full cover concealer darkens quite a bit once applied) on you, and #6 might be too dark (I'd definitely exclude #5 since it has pink undertones). I saw a youtube tutorial in which a girl who is HD #117 uses Full cover #6 and HD concealer #330. On the other hand, Temptalia's matrix suggests #4 as a match for HD #117 and MAC NC20 (according to the chart #6 is better suited for NC25). Perhaps some nice Specktra ladies could swatch them both side by side? We, too, unfortunately do not have MUFE in Slovenia, so I can only provide pics of the ones I own.

Thank you so much for your help. Then it's no wonder that number 3 is too light. I have pretty strong yellow undertones. Don't know whether to go for 4 or 6. Hmmm

Hopefully, some of the girls who use #6 will describe the colour & their colouring. If not, I suggest you quickly skim through some youtube tutorials with the girls who wear #4 and #6 (it should give you a general ideal of what to expect and maybe you will even see one that closely resembles your complexion). Another option would be to email a MUFE boutique & ask for their professional opinion/suggestions - I'm not sure if that is a common practice or if they usually respond, but it can't hurt to try. If you're still undecided, I can sand you a sample of #4 (just PM me).

I also found a swatch with both colours on My Makeup Reviews' blog:

She has the old names (they changed the packaging and names about a year ago), #4 was&is flesh, whereas #6 is now called Ivory. I don't think that the colour/formulation was severely altered. I still have some of the 'old' #4. When I first swatched the old and the new one, I was shocked, but after a couple of minutes, when the darkening/oxidation takes place, the colours become much more similar (the new one still being a bit browner).

Here are some for #6:

And for #4:

I'm sure you can find many more - just type "MUFE Full Cover #4" or something like that.
