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 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.

A medium pressure bed as well as some self tanner afterwards (Try Jergens gradual Glow) and you will have some color, I'm sure. I would try a SMOKE its a tingling tanner or try Sweet & Sexy Black bronzer. Good luck hunn.

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

Contrary to old advice or recommendations (go 1 to 1-1/2 shades lighter than foundation), it is best to match your skin color (foundation color) as closely as possible.

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

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 don't' know, just hold up to your arm and face and see which looks closest. I try to get closer to darker, as if I buy one and it is lighter than my skin tone, I look washed out. At least if it is darker you can look like you got some sun. and throw a lighter powder over it.

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

Ooh no this is perfect for light tones. I almost think its too light for me. And i am african american w/ a brown complexion. Perfect for yellow undertones

I suggest you to go to your nearest beauty supply store and ask for what you need. They have tons of different colors to choose.

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

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

they have different shades. but if you're light skinned I would recommend their original banana powder. it should look great on you..

My skin is very sight so I use the soft ivory but if it's to light for you try light ivory. I hope this helped.

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'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!
