I really think that pigments look great! Just look for a natural tan or gold, and blend blend blend. If its too much, just put a bit of foundation over again.
(Or Revlon Skinlights if you can get hold of it, But i dont know how dark the colours come. I am NC25, and used the lightest Colour of Revlon skinlight, and got the exact same result with Vanilla Pigment.)
I am sure you could find a perfect colour with MAC pigment, and you would have a wide range of options to choose from.
