| Do they carry hues for fair skin ("fair" as in Nicole Kidman pale) in Korea? Is the cost comparable to U.S. prices? |

| I use NW100. They also have NB100. I notice that's still a little dark for my skin. It retails for 30,000won (about 30USD). |

if you're an NW shade, good luck finding colors. Most asian skintones are NC.
The counter in Bucheon sells only NC shades (there is no NB, I think crazylemongirl meant NC).
NC- neutral cool (golden beige tone)
NW- neutral warm (pink beige tone)
It also depends on what foundation/concealer/powder you're buying.
Hyperreal is classified in the 100,200,300, etc level, whereas the other lines of fdn/powder/concealer go from 15 (extra pale) to 55(extra dark). It depends on which counter you go to, the one I go to doesn't carry the whole line. I think the darkest shade they have is NC 35.
Hope that kinda helped? Best thing to do is go to the counter and hope they have your shade, lol. I have to pick up more back in Canada cause they don't carry mine close to me  |

I get NW at my place no problem. Sorry I meant NC (I don't use it).
Oh btw, some of the girls are really fabulous with make-up and gave me a color selection I would never have thought of and it looks great. |

OOo which counter do you go to? Or do you go to a freestanding store? I'd love to know where it is, I'd definately make the trip into Seoul (if that's where you are, haha) cause I'm dying without my select coverup...  |

| I'm clear out the other side of Seoul, but try the bigger ones in myeongdon etc. If they don't have it they will be able to order it in. |
