How do I pick the right color? I am a medium to dark complexion, Mexican and Im not sure whether I should get the medium or tan kit?

U could probably go with either. The medium does have 2 tanned shades in it to mix to match ur color. But if u have a year around tanned complexion , u may want to consider the tan kit. But I think either would work for you. Good luck.

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 have light/medium and I don't have tan skin and this colour is perfect for me. I think that for tan skin is better the Medium120 colour. After this one, they have medium/deep and still Deep. Take a look at maybelline site. Good luck

I got the fair and its got a lot of colors you can mix to make a medium color. My mom got the medium and its a little to dark for her she wishes she got fair. you can look at my skin color on facebook Linsey Bartholomew. If your like me get fair if your darker go with medium.

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.

Yes. I am light skinned and the classic gives me just the right color. It looks very natural. Not too dark. Just enough to have a natural looking tan. I have sometimes even used a second application just to get a deeper color. It always looks natural, never orange.

You might want to get medium and medium/deep. Some people are in-between shades, as there isn't much color selection.

I'm very fair skinned and the medium powder works great for me. It's still very sheer, so I would go with medium!

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.

I'm not sure I know the answer. My own skin tone is quite dark (olive with yellow undertones), and I am not sure how the product would look on someone with lighter skin. Wish I could help!

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 .

Beige is most popular and you change the shade to match your skin with the lightner/darkner included. Blush would be if you have more red in your skin tone.... honey would be if you have more yellow sking tones.

I have a natural tan and the natural beige works for me. Also depends on your skin tone, if its warm or cool. But I think it would be between the natural and the buff.

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

Try white 97% mixed with 1.5% yellow and 1.5% brown until you have the beige you want, skin tone may need some more red and blue

I feel the Ben Nye Topaz is great for medium toned brown skin. Since you stated that you are fair skin, you might do better with the Ben Nye Banana powder. Hope this help with your choice.

My skin is more olive color and I really like the color that the banana boat added. One coat is good or you can make a tan you already have look a shade darker. It doesnt have such a strong smell compared to many others.
