Hi
I've been using bare minerals losose.powder foundation and love it. I've been using shade 'fairly light' but I'm finding it a tad too dark. Just a tad.
I cant make.out online what shade to go for thats a wee bit lighter. Can anyone help?
TIA.

I'm not sure OP as I am medium beige

You could Google images for bare minerals shade swatches or some websites such as BM or QVC sometimes have shade guides

Either FAIR 01 (For the fairest porcelain skin with pink undertones) or FAIR IVORY 02 (For fair skin, with neutral undertones)

I use Fairly Light and also grabbed Fair on an offer once. It is too light for me, so may work well for you.

I don't use it anymore but when I did, I had to mix two shades... 'light' and 'fairly light' from memory. Not ideal I know as you've got to buy two at once! However I guess it will last double the amount of time (ish) so it's an option.

If it's just slightly dark couldn't you get the next lightest shade and then mix them if need be

Thanks so much all.
They a look different on different websites. I think.j might give the light ivory one a try.
Fingers crossed.
