Is the undertone of this orange or more pink/brown based? I tried the medium and it was very orangey on my fair skin.

Light glow color is not orangey on my light skin.......I find darker colors too deep and can look artificial on fair skin....

I'd say it's probably more orange, than pink/brown. I'm a strawberry blonde with fair and freckled skin. Not the "peaches and cream", Nichole Kidman skin, mine is more ruddy. My legs aren't chalk-white, but light-beige/pink. When I mix the SHAL in my hand with an equal part of lotion, I think it looks really natural. It gives my legs a slightly darker beige color, with no pink. I like this product in the lotion form, too. Hope this helps.

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

There is a definite tint to the skin - a carrot orange that to me is a slight drawback because I have a very light skin tone. However, it is not overwhelming and I put it on at night. So, if you like the "carrot color glow," you will notice it when you use the product.

Light golden brown. Not orange at all. I'm fair skinned with a slight bit of olive undertones. This tanner gives me a natural, soft tan look. I have been using it almost daily for several weeks and love it, because it's so easy to use and doesn't stain my hands. As we get more into summer here, I will continue to use it daily but every couple of days, I will add a few drops of darker instant tanning lotion because the overall darkness of this tanner is not deep enough for a dark, mid-summer tan. Perfect for adding a little brown color for winter/spring or an overall daily "base" glow with the help of an instant daily bronzer/tanner if your desired look is a deeper, darker tan. Hope this helps!

I would say it is a medium brown or just brown. Not to light and not to dark. It is not orange toned like a rust color.

There is no orange color with this....its like a golden brown. You do not look like an oompaloompa with this at all!! I love this stuff! Don't lather it on like lotion either, one pump goes a long way! Just be sure to really, I mean really wash your hands if you don't use gloves!!! One more thing, people complaining about the smell!? I don't know what they're smelling but it's not this. Seriously, kinda smells a bit like cherries....it's not horrible. Hope this helped!!!

Try it on. It gains pigment when it touches your skin. It looks quite natural on me. I have the Fair shade.

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.

It depends on the amount but I think ashy. I just felt like it wasn't as yellow as people made it seem. Only when I used a yellow/mustard concealer and that on top did it come out more yellow. My skin tone is probably Taraji Henson. I would try the other Ben bye colors as well. I just purchased topaz and camel to see if that's better on my skin tone. I know it will be better on darker tones.

It's Medium. My complexion is light with a little of rosy tone. The medium gives me a light tan with a rosy color.

My complexion is light / medium colored and the tint does not appear darker or orangish. I think you would be fine to try this as it is so light in texture it doesn't really change the color of your complexion. Enjoy!

I'm not entirely sure about the orange. I would recommend before spending this much, going to Sally's Beauty Supply and getting a small bottle of shimmer lights. The orange may be too much - it's typically to "tone down" brassiness. Good luck.

I have light to medium skin and did not find it made me that much darker, so I think it would give fair skinned girl an amazing looking tan. As if you have been on a beach vacation for a week. For me it was a bit lighter than that, more of a weekend getaway somewhere tropical.

I'm not sure I know the answer. My own skin tone is quite dark (olive with yellow undertones), and I am not sure how the product would look on someone with lighter skin. Wish I could help!

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 got the darkest, I believe, which is Tan. I love it! Unless you're swarthy complected, this would be fine. It covers so perfectly and evens out the skin tone without being heavy and obvious.

It is orange, but not "in your face bright" orange. Muted colors that are still lively.

Yes, drastically. My orange is now an ugly shade of pinkish. It also doesn't fade evenly so it looks spotty
