My color would be SX05 based on my shade in other foundations. Would SX03 be good for highlighting? Or would the two be too close in color? TIA!

I've only used this shade so I'm not sure but some high end stores like Nordstrom might have various shades so you can compare in person. These are pricey so I would be sure before buying to avoid having to return it if not what you need

It's a primer, so it goes on before your make up. I am very fair, so I am not sure how much it would really effect the color, if it makes it lighter or not. It doesn't for me. I wear a "classic ivory" shade of foundation. But, I was recommended this product by someone who was very tan.

I find that with one application it turns out fine. But layering it on tends to turn out more orange. It also may depend on your skin tone if you're fairer the dark one may turn out more orange, I would go for the medium color if that's the case.

I'd say yes only because otherwise you'll get a triple tone Highlight. If you're ok with that then go for it. I had medium brown but went to black base and blue highlights (via bleaching the highlighted portion). I also had to retouch the blonde portion every two weeks.

That's the shade I used to wear. I ordered "Nouveau Beige" and it's a pretty near match, but be aware that the container is smaller by about a third. But here's the good news - for a very good substitute now that Max Factor very stupidly discontinued their FABULOUS Pan Stik foundation, try Kryolan TV Paint Stick foundation - this is a very, very good product and much cheaper than Max Factor because you get more and it lasts forever. I sent a color sample of Max Factor Medium Beige 129 to a vendor (either Stage Tones or Camera-Ready - I forget which one) and they color-matched it for me. The closest match was their Kryolan color OB1. This makeup is used for high definition TV but you can wear it everyday. It's not QUITE as good as Max Factor, but it's very, VERY good. I LOVE it, and will continue with it even if Max Factor resurrects Pan Stik. Check it out! You can find it on Amazon, or just google it. Another good substitute is made by theatrical cosmetics compay, Mehron, but I prefer Kryolan - FABULOUS !!! Check it out! Good luck!

For an all over bronze glow I would not recommend this, this is more of a contour shade, unless you use a VERY light hand. It is super pigmented. I recommend trying the jane cosmetics bronzers for all over bronzing!

My sister and I purchased liquid foundation at Sephora. She purchased an expensive translucent powder there but I decided to check Amazon and this one had great reviews! I chose translucent since my foundation matched my skin color perfectly! I didn't want to risk compromising the perfect match. This is just as good as the expensive brands but don't use too much. A little goes a long way. If I use to much it makes me look pale.

I have ordered both shades. The FAIR is the lightest shade. There is also a fair/light choice which is actually the best for me. The tube labeled "light" has a more yellow tint and shows on my skin. Either of the other choices blend very well and I do not need foundation. This is all that I wear now. Love the way this functions sort of like a lightweight primer on the nose. Just blend it in and pores disappear. Perfect!

They are quite similar. The colour pay off is great. The shades are wonderful for all skin tines and are such a nice, soft buttery texture for a powder. You'd need a primer if you have oily lids. I use MAC fix plus to help keep the shadows darker. I have used it for a whole day and it stayed on perfectly.

I am very pale with pinkish undertones, and I use the N02 because it is the palest shade they have. It is slightly darker than my skin, but not really noticeable because it blends well and looks very nice after it sets.

I'm in the shade NC55 for MAC, and this works great for me, but it all depends on your undertone. I have yellow undertones in my inner face, and red undertones everywhere else, but I can use this as an all over. For yourself, I would try it out because I can use it on myself, and friends your shade, but again, be careful about your undertone. Undertone is everything, and can really mess up how powder/foundation looks on a person.

I am very fair completed with light eyes and hair and I wear the light sheer. Not sure what the next deeper color would be. It really is sheer anyway, so I imagine it would blend in well if you went with the medium. My skin is so pretty withthis makeup, I love it's hydration.

Hi - I have also used it for some time and it still is the right shade for me. Perhaps they can replace yours. I do know I accidentally ordered the matt not the original once and the matt seems much darker on my skin. Do you use the matt or the original?

I don't know. I use developer and kaleidocolors powder to lighten, then use t18. Unsure of how it would perform under different circumstances. Sorry.

Hi,Please be advised that we are unable to match foundation to your skin tone exactly, light medium skin tones Max Factor Lasting Performance Make-Up 106 Natural Beige this may be a good shade for youKind regardsXtras

Are there ever enough?!! While there are several choices in each of the colors you asked about, I sometimes find myself seeking yet another shade. Granted, some of that is controllable by pressure. I'm currently doing more experimenting with blending several colors for wider choices. Give it a try! I question if any set would seem adequate if you revel in subtle color differences.

YES. Especially if you use the purple. BTW, these are the most AWESOME highlighters that have ever been made. :D You will NOT regret buying them, I promise.
