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.

I also, am a pain warrior! I also, was on disability and left a very high paying position in medicine. I will pray for you and please know I do know how it feels to be in pain. I walk beside you as far as that goes. It sure is not fun and the older one gets the harder it is to cope and do things. But , we get through it!

I would get the lightest color. In the summer I a color a step up from the one I use in the winter. Hope this helps.it is best to get summer bisque and mineral veil to go along with the base color in my opinion. I have splotchy skin. So I use several bare mineral products and when I do my skin looks radiant.

My skin is very sight so I use the soft ivory but if it's to light for you try light ivory. I hope this helped.

My skin tone is similar to yours. I recommend the two darkest in the palette for shadows ( depending on whether you want, a natural makeup or more dramatical makeup) and for lighting, use any others except white color

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.

I have medium colored skin and it blends in but provides little or no coverage.

Go with the colors closest to your skin tone...get several color...some a little lighter And some a little darker and mix them until you find the perfect match...just remember how many drops of each color you use when mixing so when you find the perfect match you will be able to mix the color perfect each time....good luck...air brushing is wonderful!

I am olive based in color. Worked well. Lasted a few days. For lighter skin you may need to do a towlette. Wait recommended time. Then do a second one.

If you're super pale with pink/red undertones it will make you look yellow. So my trick is use a very white concealer and a litte Ben nye to set it. It isn't for every akin tone. Mostly people wit a yellow undertone if that makes sense. Light skinned people who look a little yellow (Kim k) caramel people and it's amazing on dark people. If you're part of the pale people I mentioned it wouldnt work for you might want to try Palladeo Rice powder in the lighter shades. That one is amazing too.

Contrary to old advice or recommendations (go 1 to 1-1/2 shades lighter than foundation), it is best to match your skin color (foundation color) as closely as possible.

I have pale skin as well and I bought the lightest color this came in and it was still to dark for my skin. I ended up giving it away :(

I'm not sure I know the answer. My own skin tone is quite dark (olive with yellow undertones), and I am not sure how the product would look on someone with lighter skin. Wish I could help!

U could probably go with either. The medium does have 2 tanned shades in it to mix to match ur color. But if u have a year around tanned complexion , u may want to consider the tan kit. But I think either would work for you. Good luck.

I have incredibly fair skin also, part of the reason I love this product so much is that it is so light. I think it will be a great match.

I'm medium toned and use 23. I think this is most common shade for asians. However, if you have fair complexion, then 21 would work.

I have a similar skin tone and No. 53 Beige Clair is too dark for me. I can only use it during the summer when I have a little ten. I would recommend No. 52 Vanille. Is it's bit light you can always add a bit warmth with a bronzer.

Traslucent is more for shiny skin helps to keep it dry and also they have three tones natural is for white skin, warm beige is for dark ir médium skin and Traslucent i havent seen that color but talking about make up is the whitest powder ... You can use it at the end of make up, it's the final touch ... I only useWarm beige because I'm medium skin tone and it's perfect for me I don't need the translucent powder

Definitely use the medium. You can reapply to add depth of color. I think dark will be too much for fair skin.
