Yeah, I guess if I planned it well I would've gotten the color that DIDN"T have a travel size, since they don't usually have those in all the colors (the Tarte BB stuff is what I'm thinking of now...haven't checked the UD Naked to see if there's travel sizes now, but the Tarte I got in "light" rather than "fair" and "light" is what they have travel-size. Boo!)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
what is the difference between "fair" and "light"? Asks the gal who doesn't need to change her make up shades in summer because she never gets much sun.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Fair is the lightest, then light. Depending on brand, the undertones may be different as well. Take it all with a grain of salt and go with what looks good on your skin.

Fair is the lightest, usually with pink undertones. Light usually has yellow undertones, for some reason.

Yeah, definitely depends on the brand and the line. That's the particular Tarte BB cream names....but in general, whatever the lightest and next-lightest ones are...For instance, in the Urban Decay Naked foundation I use something that's like "3.5" because there's several colors between that and ".5" the lighest shade, but the colors between are not pink-undertones (and it's not like it's that dark--it's good for summers, for me)

I'm always looking for a brand with a color named something like porcelain because fair and light are usually too dark for me.

Oh! This discussion reminds me -- does anyone use Bare Minerals powder foundation? I use the matte formulation and accidentally bought the original formulation, and used it once before I realized the mistake (and the way I use it is by shaking a little power onto a plate and dipping the brush into that, so what's in the jar -- and the jar itself -- are basically untouched). The color is Fairly Light, original (not matte) formulation, 99% full.
If anyone wants it, holler, and I'll send it to you, because otherwise it'll go to waste.

meara, to bring a conversation over from LJ: the spa is Ladywell's, and it's three blocks from my house.

Ooh!! I had no idea that existed, Jilli! I will have to check it out.
