How can I tell which shade is right for me? Currently using the Pore Clearing Petit BB Cream with Tea Tree Oil and that one matches me pretty well.

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

Only answer I can give you on that would be to match the colours with your skin with swatch tests. I've used this product before, so I knew what colour. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I also use that BB and I went with the lighter shade and it worked perfectly.

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!

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 have owned both beige and ocher. I am fairly fair skinned as well with dark hair. I have been able to get away with ocher but as a makeshift foundation stick. The beige is a perfect concealer that blends in with my skin tone and under eye concealer. Ocher I think is more suitable if you have yellow/really prevalent olive tones. Im middle eastern but Im more pinker than olive. I bought ochre online then went to nordstroms and realized the beige was a better fit and I just sold it to a friend. TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEY unless you're face is an oil slick then I wouldn't advise.

Using your color scale, I'm a 1. I purchased the light shade and it seems a tad bit too dark, so I mix it with a shimmer cream and that dilutes it enough. I think it would be perfect for you. It's an amazing product, I don't wear foundation anymore, just this.

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.

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

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!

The ocher was actually perfect for me. I too always get too white or it's too dark! This color is more of a beige/tan. No pink under stones nor too yellow. It's if you mixed a dark medium with a light. You'd get a creamy tan color. When I looked at the other colors they were too extreme. This one should be perfect. It's really spreadable and you honestly don't need a lot. Which is good because you do t get a ton of product, but I'm just in love with this. It goes well with a lot of skin types tbh. I think you will be thrilled.

I also have light skin with yellow undertones. And, 05 works best for me. If you have yellow, golden, or olive undertones this is the shade for you.

I am very pale with pinkish undertones, and I use the N02 because it is the palest shade they have. It is slightly darker than my skin, but not really noticeable because it blends well and looks very nice after it sets.

In my opinion id go with this one.. Both can be used but this one works better for buffing in the bb cream.. The foundation brush really just spreads it...

Honestly I think you may have to play around with it to find the right one. I bought natural and it was a little too dark, you can always buy a lighter shade to mix with one that's too dark. Your best bet is to go to a store and actually hold one to your skin before you order online. Also try the Loreal website

I also got this feeling. I think I was putting too much on with a too-dense brush if that makes sense. Now I apply it with the biggest, fluffiest kabuki brush I have and it seems passable. I only use it for contouring but I think it's a little too muddy to really have much of an effect. I'm also a bit pale and it's the winter, so I'm seriously hoping this will look a bit better in the summer once I have a little tan going.

I bought mines in a drugstore, I got the light bb cream. To me its accurate. Light is more for fair skin and medium is for a bit darker tone. If you gave fair skin maybe medium will be too dark. Or unless u get medium and after blend qith your face powder to balance it out...

You can use face cream put better use it first then use BB missha, and final little powder on your skin.I advise you take No. 21 or 27 as your skin tone.For more information see the videos from youtube

Hello T. Ottey, I think ONL CC will match with your skintone, if your skintone is medium. I'm a Asian and I have a medium skin shade. I traveled to Hawaii couple time and my skintone changed to medium :) I personally use this product and it matched with my skintone. Its coverage is little weaker than B.B but looks more natural. If you have any other question, please feel free to contact us. Sincerely, Young C. Sales, Katie The Babe
