For darker skin shades, is it better to go with translucent or yellow?

The translucent comes across more light and could potentially look ashy. I would try the yellow for a darker complection.

I would say translucent. As long as you don't try to cake it on (which would be hard to do), it should be invisible. Yellow is meant to correct redness.

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

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 would recommend transulcent, as they set clear, not white, and yellow can cause a noticeable color to be left behind, depending on your shade :) Remember that the powder looks white in the box, but with a brush/poof ends up clear on skin (just be careful not to over do!) :)

I have VERY pale skin and have a hard time finding foundation to match, but I've been using #25 Fair and it matches my skin well. It's the lightest shade I've been able to find. Hope this answer helps! :-)

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

If you have really pale or fair skin get the lightest shade because it's really pigmented and dark so you don't want to look like you have mud all over your face LOL

I am not sure which you would need You might just have to buy some to tell. I have light Irish skin. I got the "light" one which I found to be quite light with not much pink or yellow tint in it. I would more describe it as a grayish light beige. It is a very nice product though that makes my skin quite soft.

Fair shimmer has a bit of color in it plus shimmer. I have very light skin and only use the Fair or All Clear. Don't like the "shimmer"!

I find that with one application it turns out fine. But layering it on tends to turn out more orange. It also may depend on your skin tone if you're fairer the dark one may turn out more orange, I would go for the medium color if that's the case.

In my personal experience with these products, you can get away with either one since the shade can be manipulated by how heavy or light you apply it. It is a really forgiving product so don't be afraid that you will pick the wrong one. I'm blonde and can use 3 of the different shades with ease with a little adjustment. Have fun!

Blue based foundation is for cool skin tones, yellow is for warm skin tones. To determine the skin tone you can put on a white shirt or wrap a white towel around your top. Look in mirror with good lighting and you will be able to distinguish the skin tone. Hope this helps

I'm a medium skin tone and it does NOT leave a yellow tone! If you are of a pale undertone I would suggest you use the white! But this never crease when I use my concealer underneath this powder is perfect!

Yellowish. I have pink undertones so I buy the one for light skin even though it is white.

they're all good for Asian skin tone. It's just your preference. For instance if you like light coverage you can go for N and more coverage for C. I'm in NC 25-30 and I prefer coverage so I go for C23.Hope it could answer for question

Hi. Having tried both I have to say that yes, the translucent ones do appear brighter. That's why I got the opaque ones because I wanted a more subdued type of lighting. I would say also that the opaque can probably be described as a "warmer" type of lighting. It just depends on where you want to use these as far as placement and the effect you will get.

A medium-dark would definitely let you see a difference but wont look too dark :)

White illuminates front and back. Sometimes it can be distracting if you have your camera behind it and can be blinding to your eyes. Good for illuminating a whole room. The umbrella with white and black. I think is better. The black blocks the bright diffused lighting so it is not blinding for those behind the camera. But illuminates your sunject really well. More control of your lighting.

I have kinda "yellowish" tones in my skin so I got this one. I'm pale with yellowish I guess you could say lol. I haven't really noticed that it does that. I mainly use it to set my under eye concealer. However, I think if you pile it on, you can eventually get a yellow tint... slightly. I know a lot of the people who were reviewing were different skin colors ranging from pale to dark. So I think it might just depend on how heavy handed you are on it.
