I'm fair but have some color in the summer (freckles that sort of combine). Will the fair powder look white? Should I order the medium?

I ordered the medium and it does not give me any color, but instead it removed my bronzing powder off my face. You really need to brush it on hard to get the powder to come out.

I'm very fair skinned and the medium powder works great for me. It's still very sheer, so I would go with medium!

I am fair but in summer get a tiny bit of color. I have medium it does not look to dark. Not sure how white the fair would be.

I am relatively fair and get a little more color in the summer. The medium works well for me year round. Also it is so sheer that it doesn't add much color. Sounds like medium may be your best bet. You can see the actual color through the clear section. You might want to check if it can be exchanged if it looks too dark.

Medium is a safe choice for fair and medium complections. I have medium/olive color skin and my best friend is fair. Medium color works well for both of us. The powder soaks in and blends to your natural tone.

it's completely translucent. I would stick with the fair, unless you are looking for color. Otherwise, it won't show up with any color.

Hi, I got the medium tone for summer. Im usually between fair and medium in winter. I'm 57 almost, and I love it. there is no heavy feel. It feels like a moisturizer. There is no coverage, only a little color. I think you would have to go darker to use this as a bronzer. Sometimes, i would use this as a base for a mineral powder on hot days.

Not really -- it really looks like a very fine talc powder - white - -- once "wet" with the other ingredients it can take on a shimmer -- but I would not call it shimmer -- as well - by adding it to blush - if you are exposed to the sun, you;ll get a funny tan -- as this is sunscreen.

I have a deep tan complexion, and it does start off white-ish, but it is fine after it dries. I wear this with and without makeup.

I have fair skin and ordered the lightest shade. For summer I think I'd prefer a little darker.... medium/light, or whatever it's called. Also, my skin is 75 yrs old, so I'm diluting with a little plain moisturizer to look more natural.

No I can wear this color and I am light-medium. If you're fair I'd get their color "creme". Go to 100pure website there are pictures.

I think the colors in the palette would be too light. I'm Italian and tan easily. With that said, the darker powder color blends into my skin tone and it doesn't make for good contouring. You would be better off using Maybelines "Fit Me" line. Buy the darkest shade to contour and the lightest shade to high light. That's what I do for summer. Hope that helps!

I'm fair and it is perhaps barely a shade too dark; however I also use a translucent powder over it after applying. This brings it back to my fairer complexion.

The powder is not white, but it is very pale ivory color with a peachy cast to it. Unfortunately, I have very pasty white skin with ruddy undertones (I have to use green concealer on the really red areas), so I don't know if it would work on darker skin or not. If you use it sparingly as a setting powder it would probably be okay, but it may be noticeable if it is put on too thick. You definitely wouldn't want to make your skin appear dry or dull by applying too much, or cause your face to be a significantly different color than your neck. If you have an Ulta or Sephora store near you, they have this powder in stock usually. You can look at the sample package and probably test it on the back of your hand to see what it looks like and check the consistency. I have used Mac finishing powder in the past and liked it. I do remember that they (Mac) have a translucent powder specifically for dark skin. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I was searching for the same answer as I too have fair skin. I started with a 5 because I use the satin powder. In the summer 5 works well for me but in the winter I use a 3.

I have very fair skin and adult acne. It covers very well and blends with my skin tone very well. It seems a bit light at first, but as it "melts" into my skin, it matches perfectly.

Hey Blondie _ been there, done that!!! I know the balancing act. I Live it. Yes, this is the color you want, follow instructions and no brassy at all. Yay but, I fell asleep with it on for three hours, playboy white is what I got, not my favorite "Land O' Lakes" I have to fix it (been super busy) I will put a color on after doing roots to fix. Ok so your question- keep it about 1 hour with a shower cap (throw away process) yes it will be purple, and you will not have white hair it will be sexy blonde. From one to another xo

Have a orange base tone. You should purchase the banana powder instead for fair skin.

Yes, I think it would be a great choice. I would use the fair to medium color and just apply it every day until the desired color is achieved and then every once in a while to maintain the color. I am very fair skinned also!

I think "fair to natural" would be too dark for fair, freckled skin..this product seems to be for only light tan/tan skintones..even the "lightest" one is too dark...

they have different shades. but if you're light skinned I would recommend their original banana powder. it should look great on you..

Medium is very light. I wasn't able to use it. Also, it looks very much like heavy makeup. Tan would probably be your better option.
