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 have used buff beige and nude but I'm somewhat fair...not super fair but both have worked for me.

I'm olive skin tone and the medium was way too light.I guess it depends on the color of your skin.

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 think it does a good job evening skin tone. I wear it for everyday highlighting with a bronzer for more color sometimes. If you like a real heavy makeup it might not be enough??? I just really like the way it feels on my skin.

Use the #2 shade(its the darkest one in this bb line) its still pretty light tho but as it oxidizes it'll blend into your skin tone a bit better.

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

My skin tone is similar to yours. I recommend the two darkest in the palette for shadows ( depending on whether you want, a natural makeup or more dramatical makeup) and for lighting, use any others except white color

It's not a warm tone in my opinion. It's more of a beige. Honestly, I think it would be perfect for a fairer/pale skin tone. My skin tone is warm; light brown, so I actual look pale after applying the sunscreen. I use bronzer all over to warm it back up for a no make up look from time to time.

I like matte, but if were under 30 or 35 I'd try shimmer. Probably get fair - medium is good for my med:-dark complexion. And the brush actually has a little "sleeve" cover that slides over it. It's a great product!

Hi, Thank you Elizabeth. I did just that on Tuesday. I had to pay $3.00 more at the Dermablend booth but got the right shade. For me it was beige. I prefer to buy things on Amazon Prime. It is such a great company. I love that I can place an order...not have to pay shipping and get the items in two days. Mary

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.

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.

Hi Anne, you want to match your skin tone, no matter the color and then add some bronzer (light in your case so it looks natural) to the tops of cheekbones, down the nose and possibly a light touch under the jawbone, down the neck and on to your your décolleté area. Then add blush to your cheekbones. I like this product because it doesn't settle in to fine lines and wrinkles. You want to match your skin tone. Going darker or lighter just looks like too much makeup and that definitely ages us!

I have fair skin too, I bought c21 but only can use it during winter. I also bought a c23 on a local makeup store, it matches my skin more for summer. However, I don't recommend this product if u have oily skin because it doesn't last whole day unless u put on some primer.

I have found that 05 is more of a cool colour. I have tried most of the colours from 01 to 05 and they are all good for pale skins just varying in the overall undertone.
