I've always worn the shade "light". Ordered some recently from qvc...have they changed the shades? It's visibly darker when I compare it with a previous one, anyone else found this?

Ive had the same problem - "Light" seems to be dark yellow.

I think there is a difference between Light (08) and Light (W15)? Though they have both been sold as "Light"?

Bluesheep8 · 09/04/2019 13:21

Aha! I knew it was different. The one I had before says w15 on and this one says 08. I wish I had the box, it'd go straight back. It's very misleading of them to do that as this shade is now totally wrong for me!

I'm going to ring qvc and point out the difference between the 2 shades and see if I can return it without the packaging. The 08 light bears no resemblance to the other one. So annoyed!

I didnt buy from QVC - so it is the same problem across all sellers.

I think the difference is that one is "Original" and one is "matte".,,?

Hi, no matte isn't the reason for the difference, they are both original. I rang qvc customer services, explained that I've ordered it before and that it's a totally different shade but still called light. They immediately said they'll send me a postage paid label for me to return it free so I'm guessing I'm not the first to point it out. Light is also called 08 now on the BM website so I suspect it's universal. Going to order fairly light to be on the safe side.
