I used to wear Medium Beige 129. Does anyone know which UK shade is the closest match?

That's the shade I used to wear. I ordered "Nouveau Beige" and it's a pretty near match, but be aware that the container is smaller by about a third. But here's the good news - for a very good substitute now that Max Factor very stupidly discontinued their FABULOUS Pan Stik foundation, try Kryolan TV Paint Stick foundation - this is a very, very good product and much cheaper than Max Factor because you get more and it lasts forever. I sent a color sample of Max Factor Medium Beige 129 to a vendor (either Stage Tones or Camera-Ready - I forget which one) and they color-matched it for me. The closest match was their Kryolan color OB1. This makeup is used for high definition TV but you can wear it everyday. It's not QUITE as good as Max Factor, but it's very, VERY good. I LOVE it, and will continue with it even if Max Factor resurrects Pan Stik. Check it out! You can find it on Amazon, or just google it. Another good substitute is made by theatrical cosmetics compay, Mehron, but I prefer Kryolan - FABULOUS !!! Check it out! Good luck!

Hi, Thank you Elizabeth. I did just that on Tuesday. I had to pay $3.00 more at the Dermablend booth but got the right shade. For me it was beige. I prefer to buy things on Amazon Prime. It is such a great company. I love that I can place an order...not have to pay shipping and get the items in two days. Mary

If you wear classic ivory in other foundations, then that's what you should get here too. The shade that's one lighter is porcelain ivory, but that's very light. Hope that helps.

If I were using Covergirl myself, I'd be more of a Soft Honey and still I use the dark kit. I know some people would think it would be a very dark contour shade for me at first glance, but by the time I put it on and blend it out, I really like it. That being said, I'd probably recommend the dark kit...medium may not show as well unless you spent time building it up. Dark would probably be just right.

Hi Debra I would buy the Ocher color - works for Fair to Medium . I am fair skinned with dark circles under my eyes. This product is amazing . No dark circles and no caking .. Its the best

I am rather fair and I wear the light/medium. I would suspect that you need a deeper shade but I cannot say which shade you really need. Perhaps a tripto a drug store that carries this product would be advisable to check for proper shade for your complexion....

This looks like the light shade. It's sheer, so it works well, but I am Mexican and personally prefer the med/dark, though i don't know if it has been discontinued.

This is a good question. I'm fair skinned and ordered the medium kit and that seemed to give me a little more color and coverage. I also tried other colors just to see and the best color I liked for winter is cappuccino. I know in the summer when I tan a bit I might have to go a little darker. Hope this helps.

I believe "Natural to Tan" is the darkest shade. I have fairly light skin so it blends perfectly. Their contact number: 1-800-227-0333

I'm sorry, I am not familiar with either of the foundations you currently use, but my skin color is brown, I would say a Gabriel Union shade and I wear the topaz, works perfectly for med to darker color skin tones. I hope this helps!

I am a very light complected caucasion and the medium beige is the perfect shade for me. I do tan well in the summer but I wear foundation over the concealing creme anyway. It works better using a damp sponge to apply. It makes it go on easier and smooth out better. The bottle is not very big but it lasts forever because it goes a long way. I will order more when I run out. Totally worth it!

I'm in the the Western NY, so it's hard for me to say. I went for beige because other buyers talked about how the deeper colours faded quickly. After 2 years I'm still happy with my set.

I think Bashful Blonde would be the closest. I recommend that you Google the colors.

Might be Amber Rose # 105 suntone137 is a tad darker then Olive # 30 I so wish maxfactor would go back on the market. Best coverage ever!

I have VERY pale skin and have a hard time finding foundation to match, but I've been using #25 Fair and it matches my skin well. It's the lightest shade I've been able to find. Hope this answer helps! :-)

I am fair skinned and so I am wearing the "natural Beige" and its just a 'tad' (tiney) bit darker than my skin. So, my guess would be that if you are a darker skin than my light skin, I would say that I'd try the medium beige. I don't know anything about the nude other than what the "nude" implies (that you cannot see any color). I hope this helps.
