I have very light skin, what color of bare escentuals do I need?

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.

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.

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

Depends if u are pale asian (vanilla) or more of a medium skin tone(biege). They both tend to be pretty light though.

Blond or taupe, though you need a light touch for either. You can see/test them at Sephora.

080 would be way too light for you. I use 090 Deeper. 080 is much too light and ashy on me and I'm about the same complexion as Halle Berry or Rihanna. There is Deepest 095 the darkest colour available. It's similar to Revlon Colorstay in Cappuccino. Try that one.

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 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.

Buy natural skin tone, not white (for lighter skin). Natural skin tone much better and I am very fair.

Have a orange base tone. You should purchase the banana powder instead for fair skin.

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 would recommend yellow for darker skin. The translucent powder can make your face look a little white if you apply too much. The yellow shade is more natural looking.

I got the darkest, I believe, which is Tan. I love it! Unless you're swarthy complected, this would be fine. It covers so perfectly and evens out the skin tone without being heavy and obvious.

Probably medium. Light/medium is on the lighter side of medium, and medium deep would be for more tanned skin.

I just use the same or similar color as regular makeup I use. It worked for me. I have a light skin tone.
