Hello from Washington, DC!

[Jessica Rabbit]

Hi! I am a 27 year old law student in DC looking to learn about makeup and what looks good on me. I know the types of looks I want but I can never get the right color combination and I also want to learn how to apply it best for me. This looks like a great site. Trying to figure out the lingo and where I fit in

NW is one of the color references MAC uses for their foundation colour system- NW and NC are the main ones.
