I hope it is ok to do this, sorry in advance if it isn't.
You might have read before that i have awful under eye circles that are literally one shade away from being black and they are full on big eye circles and seem to be permanant now. It affects my confidence alot and it makes me very unahppy. People always make insensitive comments and insist i get more sleep and don't listen when i say they're permanant and that they're only seeing them that day because i tried to go 'natural and makeup free' but obviously people can't seem to handle seeing my natural face and ruin my day.
So as you may realise i rely on concealer badly and Mac is the only company that seems to give me the quality and coverage i want without really bad textures and colours. However colour wise they are still not catering for me very well. I'm using Select Cover-Up concealer which i think is the best formula and makes me look and feel normal again when i wear it. But the best colour match in the range for me is NC42 but it is still too light on me (i am a NC43 Studio tech), NC44 is way too dark and i think it is quite misleading to say that NC44 is the next shade darker because to me it seems to be 2/3 shades darker. I know you're supposed to use one shade lighter in concealer but it is still very light and looks like i have natural looking skin colour and then 2 very light eye circles. I'm an Indian girl with light brown skin and yellow undertones, most Indians and people of my colouring generally have dark under eye circles naturally and so it seems strange that Mac aren't providing for us very well. My friend's and family who are different colouring to me but definetly between NC42 and NC44 have the same problem. There is a real need for more than one shade between NC42 and NC44, it's really frustrating to find such a big gap in the shade range and also i know people suggest mixing 2 shades but why should we pay more and have to fiddle around with 2 concealer tubes instead of just being able to apply the product straight away and be done with it. We pay just like everyone else and as a company that thrives upon being for all people and for all races i think they should be providing well for all their customers. I'm not complaining as such and I understand that the best way to help them help my problem is to let them know my concerns and ask them to create my shades. I have emailed them and my concerns have been forwarded to the product development people so i am hoping to seem some developments.
I was thinking if more people ask for this change then they may be more likely to research into this and bring about soloutions. They can only help if people give enough feedback. I would be very gratefull if any of you lovely people could email them to ask for the same thing on mine and all the other people of my colouring's behalf, it would make such a difference to my confidence and my happiness if i could just look and feel normal and enjoy the fun side of makeup instead of always worrying if my eye circles are showing or my conclealer looks horrible. You can email them by clicking on the 'customer service' icon at the very bottom of the page and then clicking on the 'contact us form' on the left side. Politely outline the problem and suggest they there is a real need for more than one shade inbetween NC42 and NC44 for the concealers and foundations but in particular for Studio Select Cover-up.
Thankyou in advance to anyone who emails.. I really appreciate it so much.
