At last! Laneige has answered my prayers for a shade between the big jump between the Medium and Dark... appropriately named: Medium-Dark lol.





It is currently between Winter and Spring weather here at the moment which means that I'm at my lightest skin shade for the year and Medium is still a tiny bit too light for me, but I make it work with a darker setting powder. Come summer time I'll need a deeper shade and Dark is just too steep a jump for me.









Left: Medium

Right: Medium-Dark

Cushion-wise, seems to be not too big a jump one shade to another.





Arm Swatches





Hand Swatches





My average shade is guestimated at around NC35-37ish reaching NC40 at the end of summer if i'm out in the sun a lot.





For the hand swatches I placed Missha M Perfect BB Cream no.27 on each side for better comparison of all three. Missha's no.27 and Laneige's Medium are just about the same tonally, with Missha being more yellow and laneige more neutral. Medium-Dark however is definitely darker and warmer with more orange tones.





I'll have to wait until mid summer and see how Medium-Dark blends with my skintone on my face, I think it will be okay, but looking at my arm swatches, I wish it could have been a just a bit more neutral or yellow instead.
