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.

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 would see if you can look at them at the drug store... I have light skin and pink undertones, I use 51. I would think that 53 might be good?

I use a shade that is one shade darker than my skin tone. I have pale skin, so I use porcelain.

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.

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.

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

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.

Make sure you get a white eye shadow base. They have the regular and the shimmer by the Nyx brand. It shows up even without a black-light. I do make-up for a living and this stuff rocks!

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.

I would say this would fit a light to medium skin tone best. If you are very fair or very dark, it would probably not be suitable. It's also a bit on the yellow side, so if you are very pink or want to correct overly yellow tones in your skin, it may also not be suitable.I am a MAC NW 15 and it's too dark for me.

If you're super pale with pink/red undertones it will make you look yellow. So my trick is use a very white concealer and a litte Ben nye to set it. It isn't for every akin tone. Mostly people wit a yellow undertone if that makes sense. Light skinned people who look a little yellow (Kim k) caramel people and it's amazing on dark people. If you're part of the pale people I mentioned it wouldnt work for you might want to try Palladeo Rice powder in the lighter shades. That one is amazing too.

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.

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

Should be like off white, not be yellow. Better order it directly from SkinMedica.

I bought light glow, have fairly pale legs and I think the color is nice-more brown based or beige like make-up.
