Help! Before RMS sale ends.

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.
