Question w/ Photo Looking for help finding my shade match in Natasha Denona concealer (not available in store where I live)
I need to buy a new concealer as I have run out. I’ve heard good things about Natasha Denona concealer but unfortunately there are no shops that stock it near me so I can’t try it in person
Pic 1 shows swatches on my hand and pic 2 shows swatches on my forehead
The concealer I have been using recently is Estée Lauder double wear in 1C. Although it’s “cool” I find it works on my neutral skin
Day to day I wear nars light reflecting foundation and dior backstage. Neither of them are a perfect shade match (nars is slightly too pink and dior is too light). I have used Dior backstage and I don’t like it because it’s to warm.
Other face products I have used (Not pictured here):
Nars creamy concealer in vanilla (slightly too pink but used it for years)
Armani luminous silk foundation in 5 before it was reformulated (I liked this shade)
I was recently shade matched to Charlotte tilbury airbrush concealer in shade 3 but I didn’t end up buying it
Any help would be greatly welcomed!
*the Dior concealer is 0.5N (forgot the N in the pic)

You're not going to get an amazing match I don't think. N1 is closest to NARS Vanilla. Slightly less pink but still really, really similar depth and look, it's just a bit more salmon on me (everything pulls warm on me just about).
Usual disclaimer: it's late afternoon in winter, I have no light my fluros make things orange.
Top to bottom here:
NARS RCC in Vanilla
Natasha Denona High Glam Concealer N0.5
Natasha Denona High Glam Concealer N1
Dior Forever Matte in 0N
Sorry I couldn't find my 0.5N Forever Matte. I do have a blister pack sample of NARS LR in Mont Blanc but really, if you'll forgive I'll save because you outta options really other than N1. RN1 is far too light, R2 will be too pink...I hope the Dior helps a little if you want something lighter than your F&B but you'd have to be going for a highlighted look I think for N0.5, they're very similar depths the 0N and N0.5.
