I'm fair, with green eyes, but go with warmer shade to blend my face and neckline. The 5 and 6 are my favorites. Cinema Secrets sells inexpensive small sample pots to try until you find your best shade. Enjoy! Little goes a long way!:)

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!

It depends on the amount but I think ashy. I just felt like it wasn't as yellow as people made it seem. Only when I used a yellow/mustard concealer and that on top did it come out more yellow. My skin tone is probably Taraji Henson. I would try the other Ben bye colors as well. I just purchased topaz and camel to see if that's better on my skin tone. I know it will be better on darker tones.

I think it's probably a little too light for that skin tone. I typically wear fair to medium (more fair than medium) beige foundation and this matched my coloring.

it really depends on your skin tone. I use beige 1 because the ivory is too light.

I am very fair completed with light eyes and hair and I wear the light sheer. Not sure what the next deeper color would be. It really is sheer anyway, so I imagine it would blend in well if you went with the medium. My skin is so pretty withthis makeup, I love it's hydration.

I have used buff beige and nude but I'm somewhat fair...not super fair but both have worked for me.

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.

I am Caucasian, not exactly fair skinned, probably medium skinned and medium beige is too light for me, I use dark beige and think that would be more appropriate for you.

You can add mica's and that will give you the shimmer your looking for in a blush...hope this helps

I am very fair and I buy the ivory shade. This is the same color I would buy in any other base make-up. I would think medium beige would be too dark if you usually wear a medium tone. The coverage is very good and lasts all day.

I went on jane Iredale site, bought mineral foundation, love it, it is lite and creamy, not heavy, use color bb3 which is light, but there is a BB1 you may wish to consider! The site shows sample of colosr

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.

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 have fair light olive skin. And when I put it on it blends in nicely. The beige is very settle. If you need to you can always apply powder after you apply , to match your skin.

I have found that 05 is more of a cool colour. I have tried most of the colours from 01 to 05 and they are all good for pale skins just varying in the overall undertone.

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.
