I mix nw25 and nc25 to achieve the right colour. Really like this foundation but there are better out there, not as heavy as Revlon colorstay but also nowhere near as long lasting or shine proof.

This foundation does absolutely nothing for me. It melts away after 2 hours and the shaded are limited. Will not repurchase.
