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.
