Has anyone tried the Tarte 2 in 1 foundcealer with brush? If so do the colors run dark? I am trying to decide between the light and medium. Thank you for your help.

Well, didn't you see the SHADE CHART when they launched their TSV?

That is how we are supposed to decide? When you have a blue eyed blonde and I am brown eyed with auburn hair, how can I relate to the lightest shade? The model looks yellow to me, and I HATE the yellow tones.

FINALLY, in Friday Night Beauty they actually lined up a bottle of EACH SHADE so we could see the tones.

SHADE CHARTS DON'T REALLY WORK.

Yes. However, it was the shade Fair and I don't know if she simply made a pale shade (FINALLY) or if all the shades are running light.

Fair is almost white. On the MAC foundation scale, it comes in at N5-N10 TOPS. Neither too yellow nor too pink, it is a true neutral. I am thrilled as I order stage/pro makeup due to my paleness and NO department store or drugstore line is light enough. This is also the first Tarte foundation that is light enough for me.

I purchased the lightest shade in a brand called Exuviance. It was actually TOO LIGHT for my fair skin. I always need the fairest shade, and this was the only one that was too light for me.

All the Tarte shades have been too yellow for me.
