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.

If you wear classic ivory in other foundations, then that's what you should get here too. The shade that's one lighter is porcelain ivory, but that's very light. Hope that helps.

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 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.

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

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 7. SX 07: light-medium skin with neutral to yellow undertones 8. SX 08: medium skin with very yellow/golden undertones 9. SX 09: medium beige with pink undertones 10. SX 10: medium beige with neutral to yellow undertones 11. SX 11: True medium beige tan with golden undertones (I would embrace this color in the summer!) 12. SX 12: Dark beige with dark yellow/golden undertones (there is a big leap between SX 11 and SX 12!) 13. SX 13: Dark rosy tan 14. SX 14: Medium milk chocolate brown with rosy undertones 15. SX 15: Dark rich chocolate brown 16. SX 16: Darkest chocolate brown

I have a very light complexion, my mother is pretty tan and we both use the same foundation. This product blends with most skin tones, I'm sure this would work for you. I don't know my skin tone number either.

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

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

For a natural look I use a mix of 80% light ash (blond) and 20% light natural. This prevents my color to be in a too red or slightly greenish hue. I tried the medium, and my hair had a fake dyed look that was way too dark... So I suggest going lighter than you think you need.

I use light tones however it really depends on your skin undertones, such yellow or peach. I have yellow in my skin tone so I use natural and I look for Sand color or light beige. I like the Etude House Precious Mineral BB cream. This BB cream has pearl and it is too light for me. I like the way the BB covers imperfections. I hope this helpful.

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

I would go with Medium. They have a range of light to dark so you can mix and match to your skin tone so even if you are lighter at times you still can use the lighter color. I also would advise buying from https://www.airbrushmakeup.com. Not only will you get a better deal you will get better service and all the promos for sale items.

You can try soft ivory or buff (the step down from the natural beige). The soft ivory may be too light on it's on, but you can actually mix the colors to create a color specific for you. With the yellow tone to your skin, you'll need to stay away from colors that tend to make the yellow appear greenish, stick with colors (pinks, not blue undertones). L'oreal has a really nice white finishing veil that can also be mixed with the natural beige. Another trick is to add a touch of the base to the lobes of your ears so that the makeup doesn't appear "maskish". Also, when applying, add a small amount to the neck in small downward strokes blending well, a dab in between the clavical area, and the bust to create a shadow and enhance. Hope this helps!!!...

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

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