Sculpt and Shape for NC20

[Fairyphoebe]

Hey,

maybe you can help me
I have a NC20 skin, brown eyes and light brown hair (but my latest hair color is black)

I´d like to buy the sculpt&shape powder, but I don´t know which shade of them would work best for me.

Here´s my pic.

Thank you for your advice

Help!!!
Today I went to a MAC store to buy my sculpt and shape and the counsellor told me I was NW, not NC. I am really confused right now, I´ve been using NC20 products forever and to be honest as she applied NC and NW to both sides of my face I didn´t notice a difference.
My friend told me NC looks as well on me. Everyone has rose cheeks, does it mean I have to change my makeup?
And do I have to buy the bone beige duo right now? Please help me

Here is a picture of me without makeup. I have dark brown-black hair right now.

I'm NW25, but i use the accentuate/scuplt duo too.

If ur able to go down to the store, why don't u ask the MA there which would suit u best, or u could even ask her to try the duo out on you so u can see if u like the way it looks on u?

The problem is, that in my MAC shops the duos are sold out so I wanted to buy them on ebay and I don´t know which one I should pick. But I think I will buy the accentuate duo. My only concern is that the highlighter is not fair enough for me.

I'm NC20 and use Bone Beige/Emphasize but I have the Accentuate/Sculpt and I think it looks a little orange on me, so I think that one will be better for me in the summer when I have a bit of a tan.

About the NC/NW issue, I think this guide can be useful. I hope it helps:

"Decide which of the following descriptions best represents your skin colour:
If your skin looks more Golden Beige, you match with Neutral Cool or NC shades.
If your skin looks more Pink Beige, you match with Neutral Warm or NW shades.
Most skin tones will fall into these two classifications. However, if you are still not certain which classification is right for you, consider the undertones in your skin.
To determine your undertone, take a look at the underside of your forearm:
If your veins look more blue, then you most likely have pinkish undertones. If your veins look more green, then you have more yellow or golden undertones.
If you have a significant undertone to your skin, you may choose to play it up or play it down by trying a shade that includes or excludes your undertones:
If your skin looks more Yellow-Golden Olive, you will find those undertones in the Cool or C shades.
If your skin looks more Beige, you will match with the Neutral or N shades.
If your skin looks more Pink, you will find those pink undertones in the Warm or W shades.

Please bear in mind, finding the "right" colour is something very subjective. Most people will wear a variety of different shades throughout the year because the colour of skin changes according to the lighting, the seasons, and physical well being."
