color question about tarte amazonian clay full coverage foundation

Other sites and stores such as Sephora and Ulta have the entire selection which is 25 shades. There is light neutral, light warm and light cool for example. For a perfect match, why don't you try on the shades in a store? Since it is full matte coverage, you really should try for a perfect match as it won't be forgiving. HTH!

I'm also interested, I'm sure at Ulta, Sephora no brush comes with!

This is true, but you can get a more exact match!

I would go to sephora or Ulta and get matched, then you can come back here and see what shade they offer. Since they don't specify what skin tone here, you'll have to ask customer service and see if they can tell you which actual shade they sell here.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of that big brush that comes with the Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation, it's so big and kind of hard to use to me. I prefer a different brush, or to just use my fingers.

Without actually testing a foundation on your face, there is no way to tell what shade matches your skin tone. I have found that Tarte foundations run towards orange.

You can also go swatch it, get a sample, and then buy it on QVC to get the brush if QVC has a match. I've done that before. I spend enough at Sephora and Ulta that I don't feel bad about that at all.

With the addition of MANY new shades--25 in all--you can find colors that aren't orange or yellow as there are now many neutrals.

I agree, the brush is overrated and not at all easy to use. I have 2 that came in A-D kits (when I previously wore the foundation) but they are collecting dust because I never use them.

IMO, they are too "fat" to even hold comfortably in my hand, much less to try expertly applying makeup to every nook and cranny of your face. (I'll admit I have "munchkin hands", lol!)
