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 is very very light. Almost white. I think creamy natural would work for you. But if you are extremely fair translucent would probably work. I've never used bare minerals so can't offer a comparison.

I don't have VERY pale skin, but I use the #1, the lightest color, as it blends well into my neck color.

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.

As far as the color (nc30) it blends in very nicely on my skin. I would think if you are light skinned it may be a little dark for you. It would be best for you to go with a slightly lighter derma blend color. Check their color charts.

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 suggest you to go to your nearest beauty supply store and ask for what you need. They have tons of different colors to choose.

The Ben Nye banana one would be best for you! I'm actually brown skin and I use this color! Bit it highlights beautifully on lighter skin, just remember to first use a lighter concealer maybe one or to Shades then set it with the powder.

I use the light. It all depends on your skin color. Go with your base color. As close as u can get it.

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.

Yes I would buy the lighter one for fair skin ..I purchased both and use the fair in winter sometimes ..I think the tan colour would be too much for very fair skin ...hope that helps you .

Lindsay, We deal globally, and we would like to know what kind of ethnicity you are before giving you an answer, however here's some technical details of two colors we have 1. N21 cool vanila natural (for light to medium skin tone) 2. N23 cool base natural (medium to dark skin tone) Perhaps we could recommend the first color. Thanks, TheMiracle

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

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.

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'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.
