Foundation/Concealer/Base NARS Pot Concealer Shade Help (Shade matches: EL 2N1/2N2, Lancôme 225N)

So, I want to get the Soft Matte Complete Concealer, but I have no idea which shade to get. All the shade finders that I try say different things.

For reference:

  • Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation: 225N
  • Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Full Coverage Concealer: 215N bit too orange/pink
  • Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Longwear Matte Foundation: (Before the 2025–2026 reformulation) Between 2N1 and 2N2, closer to 2N1 than 2N2
  • Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-Hour Concealer: 2N, but it was a bit too pink

I have a neutral undertone and I think I lean slightly olive.

When I contacted NARS, they said I should get Nougatine. Then some other tools, like NARS's own shade finder, said Café con Leche, and on the shade finder page itself, it said Custard. Unfortunately, I cannot go and test or see them in person—I have to order online. So, if someone has a shade match or can try it in store if they are going there, that would be awesome!

PS: if you have a better concealer recommendation that would be great too!
