I took a chance on picking the right color online and it was perfect. It matches my skin perfectly. I ordered #2 even though I use #3 in the foundation with the brush. For reference I am about an NC/NW 15. Since I am pretty neutral, the description of peach made sense since peach is a combination of yellow and pink. This little stick is pretty concentrated so you don't need much. It is portable if you want to stick in your purse. I use it to cover some sunspots when I am using no or minimal foundation. It seems to last well. I would recommend it. The tricky part is figuring out the color to order online. I hope this helps.
