First things first, there is no shade range. I bought the medium and had to go back the next day and buy the dark - Im an NC42 btw. Even after mixing the 2 shades, I still looked weird. It felt sticky even after applying a setting powder - which is something I don't want to do if I'm just slapping on some BB cream and trying to have a light coverage look. I broke out a few days later and had to throw it away. I spent close to R300 on this and was not impressed.
