Help! Before RMS sale ends.

Allthingsgirly67 — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 13:39:58 GMT

I want to take advantage of her sale, but I’m always so confused by her shades. I have the concealer in11.5 which is ok. So I’m interested in the tinted sunscreen-Ivory goes up to 11.5, however Cameo is 11.5-22. Do I go a little lighter or will the next shade a little darker? I just don’t want to look too pasty. I’m a little leery of “flexible” shades. I’m fair/light cool toned. Yet they call the 11.5-22 “Almond”, which doesn’t seem right for a light shade. I also have had no luck with their virtual advice. TIA

@Allthingsgirly67 - I have not tried this product yet, so I'm speculating. Since you are an 11.5, I'd probably stick with the Ivory. I'm usually a light-medium/medium neutral. I can wear both shade 22 and 22.5. I'm guessing that Cameo would be the lightest side of a light-medium, which could be too dark for light, cool toned skin. You can always warm it up with bronzer and blush.

Rest assured, if you make a mistake. I think customer service will take care of you.

Yes, they do have excellent customer service it’s I just hate having to do returns/exchanges.

I think I can answer this. I am 11 in concealer. I am actually use cameo in the tinyt. The ivory works for me but it is a tad light. Cameo looks much better.

The skin tint is very flexible. I don't think you would be disappointed in the cameo. You really can use a couple shades.

I have tried 4 shades of this tint, and find that the colors run very light. I am neutral, light/medium. I started with buff, and it was very white (cool toned). I am currently using the tan (peachy tint), with a touch of cameo as a highlight, and it works very well! I recommend going a shade darker than you normally would. Good luck! It's a great product!

@ccassaday & @Judy FL ~ I'm glad you both joined in. It looks like my guess wasn't so good.

I kind of agree with this. Cameo will have a peach hint to it but it does not go on peach at all. I am a light neutral. RMS told me ivory when I sent them a text. So I ordered samples of ivory and cameo from detox market. Ivory was fine when I got my makeup on but it made me look a little to pale. Cameo was perfect.

I'm similar to @JUDY FL, I am a light complexion with neutral to cool tones and for fall/winter I'm using Tan. In spring/summer I'm switching to Honey, because I faux tan and get some sun. I based my choices on my previous Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue shades. I do agree, RMS shades run light.

Ok, so I’m assuming Cameo….? But some are saying it runs really light!

@Allthingsgirly67 I bought this in Ivory and I'm the same coloring as you. I like it a lot and it's a great color. It's not too light at all...it's perfect. If I had gone the next shad down, it would not have matched my skin. The RMS colors don't run too light like some lines do. It's a great product.

Ok, looked at Cameo and Buff. Uggh which shade? The sale ends tonight.

If you use 11.5 in concealer it should be good. Ivory on the other hand will be too light.

I have seen lots of demos. You probably can't go wrong with either. If you have tik tok go watch some videos to get a sense of people's coloring and shades. There are some on YouTube too. They truly are pretty flexible. If your fair light cameo should be good. Unless your pale then ivory.

@Allthingsgirly67 - I'm late answering, but maybe this will help a little.

I'm light and warm complected. I ordered Ivory first, because I usually wear the second shade down from the lightest shade (that's my DD - she's "Nicole Kidman" fair and cool). Ivory was way too light for me.

I did a lot of research and decided either 11.5 or 22 was better. So I ordered both! I then went to Blue Mercury to get matched. The two women there disagreed and sent me home with samples of both. I still couldn't decide. So I made a virtual appointment with one of Rose-Marie's team.

She took one look at my makeup-free face and said "22." So that's what I've been wearing. Once in a while I mix them together!

I've been wanting to try the new tinted sunscreen too. Since they have a range including both shades I was thinking about, I may order it!

Thanks guys!

I wasn’t going to order because I have a rule not to order anything until I am out. But my doll ten tinted moisturizer and concealer is actually almost gone. So the 30% off was a good deal since I was likely going to have to order in DEC or early January anyway. I ordered the cameo and the concealer in 11.

I went ahead and ordered Cameo too! Let's hope I chose the right shade!
