So I got the wrong shade for pressed compact as a gift. It's a shade which is lighter than my complexion. It's from mac (studio fix). The shade number is nc 40 and my shade is nc 42. Even though its a small difference it makes my face look white. I can't exchange it. Can anyone tell me what I should do and how I should use it?

I'd share it by passing it along to a good friend or family member.

Don't give it away! Lol
Use it as highlight or a finishing powder. Just apply very little to give the face a matte look when you see shine.

You can use bronzer around your face as a way to add more color if the shade is too light and washes you out. I tend to do that when a certain foundation seems to be a bit lighter.
