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

If you ordered translucent you will not want to use to dust over face. Too white in color. Try 'vixen' or if you have some redness on your complexion, use the 'yellow' to counteract. Powder is sooooooo fine in texture and will last you a long time

Make sure you get a white eye shadow base. They have the regular and the shimmer by the Nyx brand. It shows up even without a black-light. I do make-up for a living and this stuff rocks!

I have pale skin as well and I bought the lightest color this came in and it was still to dark for my skin. I ended up giving it away :(

Go with the colors closest to your skin tone...get several color...some a little lighter And some a little darker and mix them until you find the perfect match...just remember how many drops of each color you use when mixing so when you find the perfect match you will be able to mix the color perfect each time....good luck...air brushing is wonderful!

It is perfect for me: light golden beige-ish. Comes with dark and light tints you can add to change the color to suit your complexion. I haven't had to use it.

I used this product because of a YouTube makeup tutorial and chose lightest shade. It is the only experience I had with it. I would think the lightest or medium would work well for you. Hula by Benefit has a nice one, too. Sleek wasn't very expensive so not a huge investment if it doesn't work. Good luck. Isn't it fun being a girl :-)

I would agree with the other ladies. It is a light beige colour. I think the reason there is no colour name on it because it seems to work on every skin types because I'm 64 caucasian from Scotland and my adopted daughter is honey coloured because she is from Colombia and she can wear it too! I use it under bare escentuals powder and ALWAYS get people telling me what lovely skin I have and they always ask if I'm wearing makeup or not because it's hard to tell. I would definitely recomend it if your skin tone isn't very dark.

They make a concealer in beige 2. I like it but four the powder darker than the concealer ... Too dark actually. Wish I could exchange it for a lighter shade powder. ConceLer is better match for my coloring. Hope this helps

I am very fair with pink undertones, blond courtesy of my stylist, with hazel eyes that shift between green and blue. I wear light/medium in IT and Laura Geller. My preference for lipstick and blush is pink or rose. That being said, depending on what I am wearing, I use either 52 (with pastels) or a mix of 52 and 53 with more saturated colors or black. 52 is quite light, so I plan to wear 53 only in summer. Hope that helps.

You can try soft ivory or buff (the step down from the natural beige). The soft ivory may be too light on it's on, but you can actually mix the colors to create a color specific for you. With the yellow tone to your skin, you'll need to stay away from colors that tend to make the yellow appear greenish, stick with colors (pinks, not blue undertones). L'oreal has a really nice white finishing veil that can also be mixed with the natural beige. Another trick is to add a touch of the base to the lobes of your ears so that the makeup doesn't appear "maskish". Also, when applying, add a small amount to the neck in small downward strokes blending well, a dab in between the clavical area, and the bust to create a shadow and enhance. Hope this helps!!!...

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 think the colors in the palette would be too light. I'm Italian and tan easily. With that said, the darker powder color blends into my skin tone and it doesn't make for good contouring. You would be better off using Maybelines "Fit Me" line. Buy the darkest shade to contour and the lightest shade to high light. That's what I do for summer. Hope that helps!

I'm very pale myself and I hate this foundation. It's very pink toned. I've tried the lightest shade and the next one up and the colors are so bad. I would recommend revlon colorstay liquid in ivory or buff because the colors are very flattering and you're sure to find a match. The coverage is great too. Apply it with a beauty blender for the best finish.

You can't. I guessed wrong, was one shade too light & am stuck with makeup I can't use. That's why I wish I'd gone with Dinair. You can email Dinair your picture & they recommend the color for you.
