Hiyaa

so yesterday I went to see my ester lauder foundation shade and I got matched up to dawn but I wear Mac nw20 and that matches perfectly.. I think dawn looks a little dark compared to that.. just wondered any Mac nw20 users what shade are you in estee lauder so I can go check those out. really think dawn might be too dark?

NW is cool toned for MAC and Dawn is actually warm toned (2W1) so I would go back and see about getting matched to a cool toned or neutral shade (a cool toned shade will have C between the numbers and a neutral shade will have N). For reference, 2C1 is Pure Beige and 2N1 is Desert Beige. Since you say Dawn is too dark for you then try Desert Beige (:

Nw is pink and nc is yellow. There are shades in certain lines of mac foundation that are more neutral as well.
