Scratch the Maybelline...for now. Their lightest shade is still to dark for me. Plus the shade has way to strong of pink undertones for my likey. Maybe in summer my opinion will change. Though I'm still interested in the Tarte. Looks promising for light, tint, worn under powder?
Never used either but I hear great things about Tarte.

I'm pretty sure the Maybelline mouse foundations have oil in them so if you have oily skin they are terrible. I know the matte one for sure has oil.

I prefer the Maybelline- I've used the Tarte before and it was awful

What did you not like?
Not oily. Dry. Dry. Dry. I was thinking it was leaning more towards a water-silicone-based foundation. I see glycerin. I'm okay with that. It works well with my skin. The color selection is less than stellar. Actually it doesn't make sense?

yeah I've always been disappointed with Maybelline foundation color selection. I even hear bad things about the Fit Me

I use Tarte Smooth Operator everyday. I still find that I need moisturizor, but that's ok. The colors are perfect. The formula absorbs into my skin beautifully, and I go over it with the matching amazonian clay powder. I totally recommend it. Only tinted moisturizer I've found that doesn't go orange on my cool skin tone.

I didn't like it at all. I have combination skin, so I have a very oily forehead, nose and chin, but I have super dry cheeks and it's hard to find a balance. It was okay on my cheeks for the dry part but it completely failed on the oily parts of my face where all the breakouts are that I am trying to conceal with foundation.
