Tart or babydoll

Post by colie079 » Thu Apr 23, 2009 4:03 pm

I have narrowed it down to tart or babydoll, which one is better? I am medium complected right now, cause of a tan. I want to get one in full size. Opinions??

I will try to add a few details to help you decide. Tart will be the most blue based of the two and it is matte. Babydoll has a little bit of shimmer. Both work well for cool, neutral, and even slightly warm toned gals. I have personally worn Tart Light more than Babydoll, but I bet you will find just as many that wear Babydoll more. To my eye, Babydoll has a bit more red to it.

Babydoll is definitely more red. I didn't wear it - I gave it to a friend whose skin is much pinker than mine. I wear Tart Light occasionally - it's about as blue-pink as they come.

I'd recommend Babydoll for you, I think it would look better on medium skin than Tart. More versatile too, with the shimmers. But if I may, please consider Charming, it's my fave SN blush ;) !

Or just get all of them. We're awful enablers around here. I prefer Tart Light to Babydoll myself, but I know Karen always reaches for Babydoll.

Then there's Lady...

AARRGGHHHH!

Have fun shopping hon, and I hope it's an easy - and the last - surgery!

for yellower/green-y tinged skin I think babydoll is great. I used tart today and while it worked while I was lighter it's a bit odd with my tanned skin.

Completely agree - Charming is my favourite cool toned SN blush too & I am medium skinned (probably light/medium at the mo, but Charming looks great regardless of how tan you are). Maybe just try a sample size first....... :lol:

And whilst you're at it better order a sample of Cosmic too - also a blue based pink, but applies very sheerly for a natural looking glowy finish (if you like that kind of thing of course).

Is Cosmic lighter or darker than Charming? Cos I do like the tone of Charming, but it's a bit dark on me.

Oh, Tart will show......... especially if you get the regular version(I use Tart Light). It is the most shocking pink you have ever seen in a jar.
