Ah, I like Stacy Ann. It's not my coloring, but I don't see a problem with using her at all. I just wish they would use a lighter foundation on her.

I wish they would demo the foundations on the hand. I hate those face charts , I don't think they are helpful at all , many of the shades look the same.

She is a beautiful girl with a porcelain complexion. Mally darkens her complexion with foundation and I just don't understand why she doesn't "match" her skin tone with the appropriate foundation. She can always add a bronzer if she wants her to look more tan. One of the rules I learned years ago was that you should match your complexion to look natural and then add blush or bronzer.

Jumping in here to agree that I am always surprised when they say she is wearing medium because her coloring seems so fair in every other way and she does look like she has a tan rather than her own natural complexion. She is a pretty girl but it would be interesting to see how she looked in a Light or Fair/Light shade with a nice shade of blush. It does bother me when vendors put make up on models that are already wearing a full face of make up. It makes me think that to get their look you actually have to do a lot to achieve it that they are not showing you. It's not as simple as just putting on a certain foundation or a particular concealer. But we all watch and shop anyway so I guess they feel it's working!!!!

I totally agree.

I want to see the actual FOUNDATION color, not some face chart.

For example, I am very fair. If their face model is blonde, it skews my impression of the shade. My hair is dark. It looks very different on blonde vs dark hair.

I can do a better job of judging whether a foundation shade might work for me by seeing the actual shade.

I find the darkest shades confusing with face charts as well.

Show us the actual foundation!!

Very true. I think she would be prettier in a lighter shade.
