That's a different version of the German set. Great to see that the TSVs are somewhat similar. We had the bigger Original Foundation last December and you in the UK got the regular size, this March it is the other way round.

On the link, someone has commented that there's no Fair!!
Is that true? No use to me if that shade isn't available.
Ooh I never noticed that as my shade is available but yes you're right, it's only the following:
Available in the UK in shades :
Fairly Light, Light, Medium, Medium Beige, Medium Tan, Tan and Golden Dark
How bizarre, why would they limit the choices? It is a 16g size so maybe that's why it's limited but seems very silly to alienate a large chunk of your customers!

Seems stupid to leave out the lightest shade though. A middle shade I suppose, theoretically, you could get round by mixing a lighter with a darker one but there's no way you can mix up the lightest shade from others.
They did this before when they brought out the special version in the big pot with the sparkly lid.
Why they can't do all the shades is beyond me, they must have bucket loads of them in the warehouse.

Just for your information: In Germany QVC never have the full range of shades of the Original Foundation, "fairly light" being the lightest colour. But we have a chain called "Douglas" that also sells BM in their big shops, one of them is located near to where I live and so I can always check the colours in real life.
I can hear it now "Fairly light, for the fairest of the fair, porcelain skin tones" etc etc. Um no, that would be the Fair shade which you usually tell us to buy.
There will be plenty of nonsense about it being "very forgiving" I'm sure.

I am a "fair" person, y skin is very light with freckles and on me, the fair shade is definately too white, I tried all the light shades at Douglas in real life (they have all the shades) and finally, it was the "fairly light" that matched my skin skintone. All the other light colours were either too white or too yellow on me. I am looking very forward to my next holiday in the US: BM outlet, here I am!
On me, there wasn't any colour too orange, but too yellow. Interesting, how the colours come out on different skin tones.
