I originally used to use this same concealer in no. 2 'rich beige' and still found it too light for my NC25 skin. Since the description for this product said that in addition to contouring light skin, it was also good as a normal concealing shade for those with skin tones a touch darker, I thought this would be perfect. It matched my skin shade fine and is useful to cover my acne scars without being too obvious. However, one thing I have to worry about is that my skin is on the yellow side, and this concealer happens to be very pink toned.
