Shade matching online can be tricky. NW47 indicates 'Neutral Warm' which means it's for deeper skin tones with cool/rosy undertones. It's highly recommended to consult a shade finder tool, compare against known shades you wear, or ideally, swatch in person.

The longevity varies greatly depending on usage frequency and application amount. With daily use, a compact typically lasts anywhere from 2 to 4 months.

Reduce the amount of product used. Try applying with a fluffy brush for lighter coverage, or use the sponge with a 'press and roll' motion rather than dragging. Ensure skin is well-hydrated before application.

Increase skin hydration with a richer moisturizer before application. Consider using a hydrating primer. This product might not be the best choice for very dry skin types; a liquid or cream foundation might be more suitable.

Ensure you are checking the shade in natural lighting. If the undertone is incorrect, it might be due to variations in skin tone or lighting. Blending thoroughly can help. For future purchases, consider getting re-matched.

Ensure you're using a primer suitable for your skin type. Setting your makeup with a setting spray after application can significantly extend wear time. Blotting excess oil with a blotting paper throughout the day can also help.

Ensure you are thoroughly cleaning your face at the end of each day. Regularly wash your sponge applicator or brushes to prevent bacteria buildup. If issues persist, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
