'NW' stands for 'Neutral Warm', indicating that the shade has pinker/rosier undertones, while '18' refers to its depth (fair). It's designed for fair skin with neutral-warm undertones.

While primarily designed for dry application, some users find that a slightly damp sponge can help achieve a smoother, more intense coverage. Experiment carefully to see what works best for your skin.

It's best to swatch a few shades on your jawline and check them in natural light. Allow the product to settle for a few minutes as shades can oxidize slightly. Consider your undertones (warm, cool, neutral).
