I found this perfect guide online. Hope it helps 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

Try Designer Skin "Black". I highly recommend it. My daughter suggested it to me a few years ago and it is all I will ever use. I'm sure that you will like it.

I have pale skin as well and I bought the lightest color this came in and it was still to dark for my skin. I ended up giving it away :(

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.

I use yellow concealer. It hides dark circles best and blends well w beige 2.

I'm actually quite fair with blond hair. I would use an NC20 shade if you go by MAC's range. I quite like the shade of this bronzer and use it with a very light hand. Works quite well for me. If you check out the blog dressed in mint, her favorite bronzer is Bahama Mama and she looks to be a bit more fair than myself.

I think it's probably a little too light for that skin tone. I typically wear fair to medium (more fair than medium) beige foundation and this matched my coloring.

I would start off with a lower bronzer like 25x then 40x first If your really pale. And then use this after about a month or even two of consistant tanning then you can do the 75x. You don't want it to look fake and as well as you could just burn. Hope I was able to help and good luck with your tan!!!!

I wear the bye bye redness under My Este Lauder double wear and My make up does not move. I live in a very humid área of Tennessee. I have combination normal oily skin. I am oily in My T zone so i wear Becca primer in My T zone.

I have fair skin and ordered the lightest shade. For summer I think I'd prefer a little darker.... medium/light, or whatever it's called. Also, my skin is 75 yrs old, so I'm diluting with a little plain moisturizer to look more natural.

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

I have a natural tan and the natural beige works for me. Also depends on your skin tone, if its warm or cool. But I think it would be between the natural and the buff.

Medium is very light. I wasn't able to use it. Also, it looks very much like heavy makeup. Tan would probably be your better option.

I prefer the matte to shimmer, I don't want to twinkle like Edward. I use shimmer highlighting makeup daily, but control where it goes. Since I use this for sunscreen, it goes on my arms, shoulders, etc quite frequently. I'm very fair and don't have any issue using medium which is unusual for me, so I'd go ahead with the medium. As far as I know, they all are retractable, but I've only bought one and buy refills.

I would agree with the other ladies. It is a light beige colour. I think the reason there is no colour name on it because it seems to work on every skin types because I'm 64 caucasian from Scotland and my adopted daughter is honey coloured because she is from Colombia and she can wear it too! I use it under bare escentuals powder and ALWAYS get people telling me what lovely skin I have and they always ask if I'm wearing makeup or not because it's hard to tell. I would definitely recomend it if your skin tone isn't very dark.

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

I have a similar skin tone and No. 53 Beige Clair is too dark for me. I can only use it during the summer when I have a little ten. I would recommend No. 52 Vanille. Is it's bit light you can always add a bit warmth with a bronzer.
