    Ahhh I dont know! I am very yellow..and i love the way the color blends into my skin so maybe it is on the yellow side...Also, I am using the middle of the two colors, would you be the lighter color? I fell like quite often the lighter the color the more pink it has...

    I didn't even end up trying the PTR CC cream. It sounded amazing but the lady helping me at Sephora took one look at me and told me there is no way it would work for my skin tone. I have no yellow at all. I'm blonde with blue eyes and fair skin. My skin is very pink. The sales clerk was a redhead with similar complexion. I'm super impressed by how well she seemed to know the product. She picked the perfect colors for me just by looking at my skin! I put the Nars on and immediately and instantly I felt so much prettier and more luminous. It was crazy because I still had some of the Tarte samples and was starting to think maybe I DID like them. But this was so much better. I checked myself out all day, lol, and couldn't see any sign of the makeup. I just looked like I had perfect, glowy skin.

    yay!!! Sounds beautiful! Yes, the Nars has a beautiful golden glow to it. I still have some left and will probably use it up) And from your description it does sound like PTR wouldnt have worked..

    Ok I just bought the PTR CC cream based on this thread - and I LOVE it! I have super pink/red/ruddy skin, no yellow at all, and it's a great match. I am also going to check out the Nars although the fragrance might make me break out.

    Oh no! Maybe I should have tried it! Although I can't imagine loving it more than what I've got. The saleslady was adamant the color wouldn't work. I'm sure the yellow is part of it, but I'm also very fair. Next time I'm in Sephora maybe...

    Jumping in late - I love Bobbi Brown's BB Cream. There is a good selection of shades, IMO. I went to the counter and they matched to a color I thought would surely be too dark (would never have picked it myself), but it looks perfect! It's dewy and gives much more covereage than I expected - more than the Skin Foundation by Bobbi Brown I was using before, as well as more than the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer.

    oh yay! Funny but i always feel like telling more people about it, because its just so..useful! Isnt it just so-soft, and glides on so well? I usually get antsy to try something new when i start nearing the end of tube/bottle of something but not with my beloved PTR-instead I worry they will mess with it or discontinue because not enough people know about it!

    Now, lets talk about Eminence organic skincare
