Hi :) I'm a tan/medium-deep skin colour with a yellow undertone, depending on which brand of concealer/foundation I use. I use the NW35 Studio Finish concealer after colour correcting my dark under eyes. I've also got the NW30 colour but it is a tad on the cool/light side for me, but sometimes I can pull it off. If I'm a deeper skin tone than you, was wondering if the NW30 maybe a hint too dark for you? It depends on how dark your under eye circles are. You may end up covering the dark circles but the rest of your facial skin tone sounds like it may be much lighter, so there may be a discrepancy in the final look. The NC35, if applied around +/or on top of the NW35 may blend things out to make your skin look even. Rather ask the MAC MUA/sales assistant to give you a sample of the NW30, NC35 plus additional NW/NC lighter shades. And test out a light peach toned corrector as well before applying the concealer. After neutralizing the bluish darkness, you may end up using a lighter shade than the NW35. Good luck  :)

I think you should try and get matched at a store if you can.

NW30 is pink toned
NC35 is yellow toned

I personally don't find that a pink undertone helps with concealing darkness on a yellow toned person, orange color-corrector is better plus orange is what neutralizes blue tones.

NC35 is quite a medium shade, I think NC30 is more light-medium but keep I should keep in mind that the concealers are usually lighter than the foundations so NC35 may actually be closer to NC30 which could work

Thank you so much girls, I live in Australia and I don't have a Mac shop here unfortunately otherwise I'd go there and test them out rather than buy it online and end up getting the wrong colour

@aurora I was going to get nyx but I heard its dry so I thought that it won't work on my very dry skin

I like the Studio Finish Concealer but just make sure to get the ride shade I feel like you might be more of an NC25 or NC30 from your description.

I would try and get one of those instead of the duo.
As far as the orange shade from the NYX you just have to be sure to scoop some out on the back of your hand and rub it to warm it up or use a drop of your favorite oil to help make it less dry :)
