Is my foundation too dark?

Is my foundation too dark?

Hi all, this is the new formula of the MAC Studio Fix Pressed Powder in NC5. It is the lightest shade, I think. In some lighting it looks like a decent match, but in certain photos it looks a tad too dark or yellow or both. I think I managed to capture it slightly in this photo. Is it indeed too dark compared to my neck or is it just me? Thanks!

Is this worth having checked? It’s been around for about a month.

Greetings! The hypochondriac in me thinks this looks like some kind of basal cell carcinoma based on one or two results from Google, but the pragmatist in me reckons it’s some form of contact dermatitis due to frequent hand washing in an area with very hard water.

The thing is, it’s been around for about a month now and it’s not healing; frequent hand washing usually causes problems with the surface of my hands, my knuckles, and the sides of my fingers, but not my fingertips as such; and this is the only fingertip that’s affected.

Thoughts? Thank you for your time!
