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

I am very fair skinned too and I used medium. If you feel it's to light you can add another layer of it, that's what I do!

I would recommend it for lighter skin tones. I'm pretty fair & it even lightens me up a bit.

I think it would depend on your skin time and the look you are trying to achieve. If you are wanting a soft look I really like the blonde dipbrow. I think any ash color would work. I believe there is an ash blonde color. :) I also hear chocolate is a nice color but it may be to harsh.

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 am Latina with light brown skin. I returned the product because it did not blend well with my skin.

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.

I'm very fair skinned and the medium powder works great for me. It's still very sheer, so I would go with medium!

I have medium colored skin and it blends in but provides little or no coverage.

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

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

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.

If you're very pale, definitely go for the lightest shade, which is "Light". However, if you want to add warmth to your overall color, then "Light/Medium" should do just fine, especially for the winter months.

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 have light/medium and I don't have tan skin and this colour is perfect for me. I think that for tan skin is better the Medium120 colour. After this one, they have medium/deep and still Deep. Take a look at maybelline site. Good luck

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.
