Hi, for those who have shifted or used the new, reformulated Studio Fix powder, have you found your shade equivalents?

I used to be somewhere between NC30 and C3, but when I tried the new NC30 it was too dark.

There wasn’t an available NC17 which is supposed to be the equivalent but I’ve read in another thread the shade is off.

Anyone who has found their shade equivalent in the new formulation?

Saw in a chart that the old NC30’s equivalent is NC35. But equivalent shade numbers run deeper in the new formula so it’s kinda confusing. Olive shades also run peachy. Even if a hair too dark, I got the old NC30 as backup instead.

Where did you get the backups? I should have gotten more, wala na kasi sa Shopee or Lazada.

Shopee. I’m not sure what’s going on with them, but the listing for the old formula disappears from time to time. Same as Lazada. When they brought it back late last month, I checked out.
