I am black and I use cover girl tawny-315 foundation. It is a perfect match. Any suggestions on which kit, medium or dark, works best for my skintone?

I'm not sure what Cover Girl foundation, but I am black (think Gabrielle Union or Michelle Obama) and the dark is perfect. I loooooove this pallette!

If I were using Covergirl myself, I'd be more of a Soft Honey and still I use the dark kit. I know some people would think it would be a very dark contour shade for me at first glance, but by the time I put it on and blend it out, I really like it. That being said, I'd probably recommend the dark kit...medium may not show as well unless you spent time building it up. Dark would probably be just right.

It depends on preference to be very honest. Medium would be fine because it is buildable and it looks kinda close to my mac nw43 foundation. However if you want your contour to stand out a bit more i would recommend dark plus the highlight in the dark would look good on you anyways. The only thing is with the dark be more conscious how much you put on or it'll be too drastic and such so be light. I hope this helps :)

I think dark would be a great choice, im tanned but not that dark color and medium is good for me but if i was more tanned i will choose dark

not particularly dark. My skin tone is pretty medium. because the coverage is slight, the tone doesn't seem to be as big an issue as with an actual foundation product. I bought it by accident the first time, not noticing that it had a "touch of foundation" or I would have been nervous too but it worked out great for me, when I just want a little coverage.

I use the medium powder over Revlon Age Defying Foundation and it does seem to darken my complexion slightly. I don't know how it would affect my color if used alone.

I feel the Ben Nye Topaz is great for medium toned brown skin. Since you stated that you are fair skin, you might do better with the Ben Nye Banana powder. Hope this help with your choice.

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 sorry, I am not familiar with either of the foundations you currently use, but my skin color is brown, I would say a Gabriel Union shade and I wear the topaz, works perfectly for med to darker color skin tones. I hope this helps!

I used this product because of a YouTube makeup tutorial and chose lightest shade. It is the only experience I had with it. I would think the lightest or medium would work well for you. Hula by Benefit has a nice one, too. Sleek wasn't very expensive so not a huge investment if it doesn't work. Good luck. Isn't it fun being a girl :-)

I think it will work for you. I have light medium skin and it works for me. This BB cream has a grayish color, but don't worry, after you put on your face it will adapt to you. I have received many compliments whenever I use it. Simply, I love it.

I think the colors in the palette would be too light. I'm Italian and tan easily. With that said, the darker powder color blends into my skin tone and it doesn't make for good contouring. You would be better off using Maybelines "Fit Me" line. Buy the darkest shade to contour and the lightest shade to high light. That's what I do for summer. Hope that helps!

I went on jane Iredale site, bought mineral foundation, love it, it is lite and creamy, not heavy, use color bb3 which is light, but there is a BB1 you may wish to consider! The site shows sample of colosr

Good Afternoon,Unfortunately, it is very difficult to foundation match someone without seeing them - there could be absolutely no guarantee that the color would match your skin tones. Typically a Dermalogica Treatment Foundation 4 would be too dark for a 'medium' color foundation. They also differentiate gold skin tones from neutral skin tones (2 vs 2G). Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you.

Hi, I looked at the colors and read the reviews on janeiredale.com, then came back to amazon to purchase. I'm quite fair and I bought the BB#3--the numbers are kind of confusing. There is no BB #2--it goes from #1 to #3 and #1 is very, very light. For reference, I'm a "NW20" in Mac Cosmetics foundations. If you go to www.beautipedia.com, click on Brand Reviews and find the Jane Iredale reviews, there's a nice breakdown of this product and the colors. She describes BB 1 as good for fair skin, BB 3 for light to medium. Hope this helps!

I didn't try this set. It was a gift for a friend. But I've tried the hot pink one and it's not for medium skin because it's way too light. I'm an nc30 in the Mac studio fix and it was so light.

I have no idea what medium share you refer to, but this shade works on all skin tones/colors. My mom has medium toned skin and I have light skin. We both use the same bottle and it looks great on both of us.

My skin is definitely light / medium and it works good. But, when I get tan, it doesn't make me look pale at all - - it's like a lightly tinted moisturizer with a primer built in (that's the best way I can explain it). Probably wouldn't work on dark skin well though.

I would say this would fit a light to medium skin tone best. If you are very fair or very dark, it would probably not be suitable. It's also a bit on the yellow side, so if you are very pink or want to correct overly yellow tones in your skin, it may also not be suitable.I am a MAC NW 15 and it's too dark for me.

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
