don't you worry, its a medium-full that can be sheered down!
if you use concealer on your face, you should use the same color as your foundation. if you use the concealer under your eyes, more times than not you'll want to go with an NW, but that's not always the case. just today i matched a woman with concealer, and the NW was too pink. did an NC under her eyes and it looked much better.

i am both yellow and pink. he took the nw20 and just added a bit of nc15 to add some yellowness, but not too much. and with there being a difference between the two, it didn't cancel each other out. it just added the right amount of yellow to the pink. normally if people need to mix its cuz they fall inbetween two colors of the same undertone. not both like me. most people would mix, say, nw30 and nw35 if they're an nw32. usually people don't mix two different undertones.
besides, he's konstantine. always listen to konstantine!

you tend to use less concealer this way cuz your foundation is providing some coverage. and you don't wipe away all of your concealing work with the foundation.

like moxy said, its complete shit for concealer, but makes a wonderful lip brush! the 195 streaks less and the pointed tip gets into tight spots.

Im not sure if Im supposed to be using the nc42 concealer on my acne, or under my eyes. The whole thing just confuses me.

The NW20 foundation looked very dark in the tube. So did the NC20. Are people combining foundation colours or are they going one shade lighter? |
