Concealer for NC25

[Maywind]

I'm a NC25 in MAC foundations. The strangest thing is, NC25 doesn't exist in MAC concealers! There's NC20 and NC30, yet NC25 gets skipped over.

When I use the Select Moisturecover, NC20 is too light, yet NC30 is too dark for my skin tone. Now I don't know what to do. What concealer works for NC25 skin? It doesn't even have to be MAC.

Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem!!
But luckily, I'm on the lighter side of NC25 so I am able to use NC20 in Studio Finish. I haven't ventured into other brands of concealer. I love the opaque coverage of Studio Finish.

My foundation color is NC20 and I just went to my MAC to find a concealer for my under eye circles and the MA tried NW20 for them and it's perfect.

If you are able to go to a counter/store I definitely recommend it. But if you're a NC25 you might consider trying NW25. Best of luck! We all know how frustrating it can be!

Thanks, but this is for zit concealment, not undereye. So unfortunately, NW25 wouldn't work. It has to match precisely with the foundation/skin tone.

Yeah, I don't know if MAC has any product that can work. I might end up trying some other brand.

If its for covering up pimples, scars, or any reddish marks... you would be best off using a green-based concealer on individual marks before putting on your foundation.. As far as I am aware, MAC doesn't make anything like that. I know Sephora makes one - http://www.sephora.com/browse/produc...vActio n=jump but I'm not sure how well it works. I don't break out often anymore so I only use concealer under my eyes.

Ahh, too bad I don't live anywhere near a Sephora so there's no way I can even try it out beforehand.

Thanks though!

MUFE concealer palettes are fantastic, you can mix the color that you need.
