I have very light skin, what color of bare escentuals do I need?

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.

Translucent will actually go with any skin tone. howecer it doesn't cover quite as well due to its ability to blend extremely well.

I have light/medium and I don't have tan skin and this colour is perfect for me. I think that for tan skin is better the Medium120 colour. After this one, they have medium/deep and still Deep. Take a look at maybelline site. Good luck

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

Use the #2 shade(its the darkest one in this bb line) its still pretty light tho but as it oxidizes it'll blend into your skin tone a bit better.

I got the darkest, I believe, which is Tan. I love it! Unless you're swarthy complected, this would be fine. It covers so perfectly and evens out the skin tone without being heavy and obvious.

I use light tones however it really depends on your skin undertones, such yellow or peach. I have yellow in my skin tone so I use natural and I look for Sand color or light beige. I like the Etude House Precious Mineral BB cream. This BB cream has pearl and it is too light for me. I like the way the BB covers imperfections. I hope this helpful.

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.

Blue based foundation is for cool skin tones, yellow is for warm skin tones. To determine the skin tone you can put on a white shirt or wrap a white towel around your top. Look in mirror with good lighting and you will be able to distinguish the skin tone. Hope this helps

Make sure you get a white eye shadow base. They have the regular and the shimmer by the Nyx brand. It shows up even without a black-light. I do make-up for a living and this stuff rocks!

Blond or taupe, though you need a light touch for either. You can see/test them at Sephora.

For a natural look I use a mix of 80% light ash (blond) and 20% light natural. This prevents my color to be in a too red or slightly greenish hue. I tried the medium, and my hair had a fake dyed look that was way too dark... So I suggest going lighter than you think you need.

I would recommend yellow for darker skin. The translucent powder can make your face look a little white if you apply too much. The yellow shade is more natural looking.

I think it would depend on your skin time and the look you are trying to achieve. If you are wanting a soft look I really like the blonde dipbrow. I think any ash color would work. I believe there is an ash blonde color. :) I also hear chocolate is a nice color but it may be to harsh.

I am very fair skinned too and I used medium. If you feel it's to light you can add another layer of it, that's what I do!

Yes. There're options for "Light Skin Tone" and "Deep Skin Tone". I believe that's what Amazon labeled them as.
