I don't have a Mac store very close to me and I wanted to buy a concealer. I was looking online and saw that NW15 in the studio fix is more me with the pink undertones but when I look at the prolong wear and saw NW15 it was more orange but the NC15 is closer.. But I am more pink undertoned I wear the lightest shade in every foundation.

It's weird/difficult since yellow and red (pink) make orange...so it makes sense that you're having a hard time. if you're trying to conceal under eye circles, a more orangey color would work...if its redness, you should go with an NC color or check out the corrector shades in the studio finish line.

Also, the swatches on the MAC site are kinda weird...not super true to life. But that's my opinion. If anything, buy from Nordstrom and they have a pretty good return policy (online too)!

Mac and drugstore makeup do their foundations differently. I purchase drugstore brands, and my usual shade would be along in the NC lineup but some MAC obsessers I know have told me that the C and W are switched. Call up one of the stores and ask them about it, they'll know how to transfer your drugstore shade to their product line.
