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.

Not sure if the color will be nice for you. I am Brazilian olive skin and looks perfect for me! But as I said, I am olive skin!

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.

I found this perfect guide online. Hope it helps here is the color description and undertone ( based off of your skin type I would say go with SX06 if you are looking for more of a foundation and SX05 for more of a concealer but also google color swatch photos of SX06 and SX05 to compare to your skin color) 1. SX 01: true ivory for the lightest of skin tones 2. SX 02: warm ivory for very light skin tones 3. SX 03: very light with neutral undertones 4. SX 04: fair to light skin with warm undertones 5. SX 05: light skin with neutral undertones 6. SX 06: light/ medium skin with yellow/golden undertones

I am Latina with light brown skin. I returned the product because it did not blend well with my skin.

I have a similar skin tone and No. 53 Beige Clair is too dark for me. I can only use it during the summer when I have a little ten. I would recommend No. 52 Vanille. Is it's bit light you can always add a bit warmth with a bronzer.

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.

Definitely use the medium. You can reapply to add depth of color. I think dark will be too much for fair skin.

I think it depends on your skin tone. I have light/medium and that works for me but I have fair skin. Hope this helps. Staci

If you're super pale with pink/red undertones it will make you look yellow. So my trick is use a very white concealer and a litte Ben nye to set it. It isn't for every akin tone. Mostly people wit a yellow undertone if that makes sense. Light skinned people who look a little yellow (Kim k) caramel people and it's amazing on dark people. If you're part of the pale people I mentioned it wouldnt work for you might want to try Palladeo Rice powder in the lighter shades. That one is amazing too.

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.

If you're not sure, go with translucent. It blends right in with your skin :)

it depends what skin tone you are and how pink or yellow tones show on your skin. if you have very pale skin go for 110, or try 115, I'm very pale, and 110 with the 115 press powder suits well

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 .

Hi, it depends if your skin has red or yellow undertone, for light skin we don't recommend the earth brown or caramel blend.Light skin types will need more of the mineral blend and less of the pigment blend, until it matches your skin tone. You can add additional titanium dioxide for sun protection but it will also add more coverage, unless you're using micronized titanium dioxide. SPF has not been determined as it varies, depending how much mineral base is used.

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