This is a super old thread, but I thought I would post in case anyone else finds it like I did. I am also MAC NW20, and this is the formula I came up with and have been loving.

2 scoops Ebony
1 scoop Warm Gold
1 scoop Buttery Gold
18 scoops translucent powder

It looks nothing like NW20 in the container, but it matches my skin really well and goes on nice and light (I use it dry over a CC cream). I'm so glad I figured it out!

I think you will find this is darker than expected.

Really, for the pic you posted earlier, you should be able to do one color base plus the white. I am curious which white base you have. Vegan, Original, Medium Coverage, Heavy Coverage, or All Purpose?
