I got it in Light Nude, but it is the regular Born This Way and not the new one. Most likely, I will repurchase.

I happened to past by a Mac store the other day and I had a few minutes so I took a peek at the concealers. I thought they had the color name large on the side but no, I guess it is just the box so I decided to check them out another time. I didn't have time to squint at the bottom of the tube. Well, I just found out the Studio Fix Powder did a shade extension too. I need to get to the store! I think one of the shades that may be for me was available overseas for awhile. I'm quite excited about this.

I am very dry around the eyes too and I really liked it. Shades run a bit lighter than usual so i got nw24 (i usually wear nw20 around the eyes). It has very thin consistency but very pigmented and sets pretty fast. I wish it wasn't as matte but it is not ugly drying matte that will enhance your dryness. Main thing - does not crease, doesn't settle into lines, doesn't fade like 8+hours later still looks perfect. It has medium coverage, definitely less than prolongwear which is my hg.

Brush is AMAZING! i think i will get backup of it
It sounds pretty good! I think I'll give it a try and get it with my next order. Probably will go with NW10.

I really recommend to try these in store/at a counter to find the perfect match.
Same for the Studio Fix Fluid. There are so many different shades now!
NC18 e.g. runs quite orange while NC17 is more yellow.

I also recommend getting matched in store. I am usually NW20 in Pro Longwear concealer, I ordered the new concealer in NW22 and it is waaaaay lighter than NW20 . They're not even close.

It is also the differences in undertones that makes shades look lighter or darker, especially when swatched on non-matching skins.
Which one did you end up with?

I had ordered it, so I'm stuck with it; it looks almost white on me. But I've been mixing it with Studio Fix foundation in NW20 which is too pink on me and it has made a decent neutral foundation.
I ended up ordering the concealer when it was 20% off. After my first impression I have to say the formula is not for me, unfortunately. Too thick and dry for dry and/or aging skin IMO. Also, it seems to oxidize, because I noticed the swatch on the back of my hand was still there after quite a while but looked darker compared to when I first applied it.
I wish they had the Moisturecover Concealer in NW10. Does anyone know of a dry skin friendly concealer in a similar shade?
