Concealer NC vs. NW

Is it true that it is better to get NW concealer for under eye circles, that it covers better blue circles than NC?
Far example, I am NC25 and I have NC20 concealer, but would NW 20 be a better solution?

yes. i'm nc25 with a tan, nc20 without one, and i use nw20 concealer for undereyes. using an nc for the blue undereye circles causes a green tint that's not flattering at all. i put pretty much everyone in an nw for undereye concealer. there are a tiny few people who an nc works great for.

I agree although I am an NW20! It works great for cancelling out blue tones because of the tone this shade is. I'd def try it out if I was NC
IMO, I've noticed there seems to be a huge jump between the shades NW20 and NW25 at least for me. NW20 is as close to perfect match but there's no way I'd ever look right in NW25, even in the dead of summer--it really casts too-orangey on me. Wish there was a NW22.5 or somethings

i second Erine. i'm a nc25 and i use select cover-up in nw20 for my undereyes.

Question. I've been wanting to conceal the redness around my nose. Should I still be using nw or should I use nc then? TIA!
