I have been watching QVC on and off today and I have seen about 3 presentations.  The vendor never mentions undertones.  There will be a lot of women purchasing only to find out the foundation will not work for them.  What in the world is wrong with QVC?  You are selling the cosmetics and women should be informed about every aspect of the kit.  Undertones are crucial.  Why does Becca have way more shades on their website?    you are losing business with inadequate information.

I just turned QVC on and have been watching the presentation of the TSV. I was tempted to purchase until I read some comments on the "yellow" undertones of the foundation. That's dissappointing because I think I would like the undereye concealer and the powder.

@moon_gazer  Go to Becca's website.  Sign up for emails and you will received 20% off your first purchase.  Becca also gives free shpg.

I suspect that has to do with the preferences of Q's beauty buyer. He/she may not be aware they're leaning towards buying tones that compliment their own skin's undertone.

I ran into that with a clothing catalog. Cute stuff, but 90% of the clothes were suitable for people with warm undertones. Then I got a look at the company brass and saw the women were all warm toned.

I watched it for awhile yesterday, until Amy & the vendors speed talking got to me along with Amy doing that loooong drawing out of every 10th word. But as to the makeup. Most of the models looked greasy and shiny on my tv, especially the upper cheek/under the eyes area. Plus one of the black models was using some product to erase the dark under eye circles......but it didn't do a very good job of it. On the plus side, the foundation did appear to do a decent job concealing other facial issues like redness.

@Katcat1. All the products in the kit have highlighting properties. I can understand 1 or 2 w/ shimmer, but not primer, foundation, concealer, powder, and gloss...All with sparkle. Great for maybe younger skin or YouTube fanatics...but not the average woman.

Shimmer shows wrinkles and imperfections.

Becca TSV not a sellout. Most if not all shades still available.

BECCA is a line that holds no interest for me because just about everything in the line has "glow" and/or "shimmer and all the face products have a warm undertone. The entire line is offered at two places near me and I've asked SA's at both stores if it's my "imagination" ( I KNOW it isn't but I want to see if they try to sell me on it). Nope, they've said this is a line for those with yellow undertones and is one they steer those needing a yellow base towards.

Many lines are designed for warm undertones because the creator has a warm complexion. Charlotte Tilbury and Cat Cosmetics are examples were this is obvious.

I guess that's why everybody looked greasy & shiny to me, but they weren't greasy & shiny after all, rather they were just glowing and shimmering.

I thought about ordering because of the value, but after reading so many negative reviews just on this foundation alone I decided to pass. 

I have used the Becca under eye brightener, but I can achieve similar results with drugstore products that cost a lot less. I don’t really have a dark under eye area anyway.
