I found this perfect guide online. Hope it helps here is the color description and undertone ( based off of your skin type I would say go with SX06 if you are looking for more of a foundation and SX05 for more of a concealer but also google color swatch photos of SX06 and SX05 to compare to your skin color) 1. SX 01: true ivory for the lightest of skin tones 2. SX 02: warm ivory for very light skin tones 3. SX 03: very light with neutral undertones 4. SX 04: fair to light skin with warm undertones 5. SX 05: light skin with neutral undertones 6. SX 06: light/ medium skin with yellow/golden undertones

I'm actually quite fair with blond hair. I would use an NC20 shade if you go by MAC's range. I quite like the shade of this bronzer and use it with a very light hand. Works quite well for me. If you check out the blog dressed in mint, her favorite bronzer is Bahama Mama and she looks to be a bit more fair than myself.

Ooh no this is perfect for light tones. I almost think its too light for me. And i am african american w/ a brown complexion. Perfect for yellow undertones

I haven't had much success with the light hair, am experimenting with meladine at this time to see if it helps with eliminating light hair. I mainly bought the elos for light hair on my face and neck.

I am Caucasian, not exactly fair skinned, probably medium skinned and medium beige is too light for me, I use dark beige and think that would be more appropriate for you.

If you ordered translucent you will not want to use to dust over face. Too white in color. Try 'vixen' or if you have some redness on your complexion, use the 'yellow' to counteract. Powder is sooooooo fine in texture and will last you a long time

I'm very pale myself and I hate this foundation. It's very pink toned. I've tried the lightest shade and the next one up and the colors are so bad. I would recommend revlon colorstay liquid in ivory or buff because the colors are very flattering and you're sure to find a match. The coverage is great too. Apply it with a beauty blender for the best finish.

I have a natural tan and the natural beige works for me. Also depends on your skin tone, if its warm or cool. But I think it would be between the natural and the buff.

You should get shade medium I have two toned skin light brown with golden undertones and medium is not to dark but provides a nice contour. I purchased the dark for summer because I get darker. Hope this helps

I too am very pale. I use medium beige. The lighter shade made me look like a ghost. Then I finish with warmth. It's an all over type blush. I use it on my cheek bones. I have been using Bare Escentuals for over 10 years now. I wouldn't use anything else. The ones you see in stores that have mineral in their names do not compare. I'm always told I have beautiful skin, I'm 61 years old.

Medium is like a buff beige color. I have this and have fair skin and usually like my foundation a little darker but I actually had to order a matte light bottle seperate to mix into the medium color to make it a little lighter. Which made it the perfect mix.

Try Designer Skin "Black". I highly recommend it. My daughter suggested it to me a few years ago and it is all I will ever use. I'm sure that you will like it.

I have very light skin color, but didn't have much of a choice when I purchased this via Amazon. It seems MaxFactor doesn't make this any more; it's not available in the stores and the prices on Amazon keeps going up, so I suspect supplies are getting low. I took what they had which is called "Natural" and it's fine for me. If you used Ivory before, this should be okay, but I'm no expert.

I have owned both beige and ocher. I am fairly fair skinned as well with dark hair. I have been able to get away with ocher but as a makeshift foundation stick. The beige is a perfect concealer that blends in with my skin tone and under eye concealer. Ocher I think is more suitable if you have yellow/really prevalent olive tones. Im middle eastern but Im more pinker than olive. I bought ochre online then went to nordstroms and realized the beige was a better fit and I just sold it to a friend. TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEY unless you're face is an oil slick then I wouldn't advise.

Try it on. It gains pigment when it touches your skin. It looks quite natural on me. I have the Fair shade.
