IT shade choice, please help

I wear light in the c.c cream, it is slightly dark for me, but then blends beautifully.
Should I go with the light tsv, since I wear light in her other foundations.
I'm light skinned, but some other lines I actually wear medium of their shades run light.

Re: IT shade choice, please help

I wear IT and I wear the lightest color (light).  I wear the same shake for other  makeup lines.  I really can't help you decide what shade to order but I will offer some advice on what works for me.

 

I wear Philosophy primer that has color in it.  I have a lot of pink in my skin.  The color primer is just enough to take away some of the pink in my skin, allowing me to wear (a perfect match) the light shade.

 

I'm just telling you what works for me.  I don't know a lot about makeup but this might help you too.

I would stick with the light.

@Kimmy922 - I'm light complected and warm. I go back and forth with shades in IT's collection. For this one, Jamie is wearing Medium. That's usually how I judge and I can tell these shades must run a little lighter than usual. If I were ordering, I would get Medium. This is the only line where I wear Medium anything! Smiley Happy

 

This forum discussion from a previous TSV has a lot of talk about shade choices. Maybe it will help a little! This is the link:

I have the cc foundation in fair. It's got slight yellow tint to it. I'm porcelain skin toned...so not to crazy for this. Id say the shades run very dark. I bought it a yr or so ago for the high spf. It's very thick and heavy, but if you like ALOT of coverage...this will do it. I won't buy again.

Light is usually my match but in the CC in the tube, it's a bit dark and the Fair was perfect.

 

If I were you, I would not get the Med but I have not seen this formula in real life.

 

I did see a couple of YT videos of this kit from people who got theirs early and they are using Medium shade.

I think it's too dark for them too, when they apply it I can clearly see how it does not match their skin at all, even after they blend it out.

The Light would have been better for them but if IT is sending them sample kits for review, maybe the Med shade is the default shade.
