I'm an NC25 and i've been using the studio sculpt concealer by MAC in the same shade and it makes me look grayish. I have some purple acne scars here and there but it also loos flaky. Any suggestion?

Use a peachy concealer instead (Bobbi Brown has some fantastic ones).
To conceal under your eyes always think peachy or pinky.
To neutralize colors for concealers :
- peachy/orange over blue
- pinky over purple

to claire: i absolutely agree! peach cancels out and blues and purples. i am also NC25ish, but for my old, purple-ish acne scars i use NW25 because of the peach tones in it. they make them invisible. for my redder areas i use NC20 concealer.
