Have this and Illusionary/burning Ambition in cart, but not sure how well Heat/Element would work for someone very pale & cool toned. Also want Illusionary/Burning Ambition, but hate White Wheat and read they were similar(I've seen pics..just wondered)

I'm cool toned and heat/element is a lovely color combo, however to be fair I am darkskinned so I can almost pull off any color. You can always return it if it looks bad. But the consistency of the minerals makes them very forgivable.

I don't have white wheat so I can't compare. However if you are looking for a duplicate of heat/element Bare Escentuals has a glimmer called Fun which to when when swatched it looked like the red color in the duo. The gold looks like True Gold also from Bare Escentuals.

If your skin looks more Yellow-Golden Olive, you have undertones in the Cool or C shades.

So, C3 basically is the color of face stuff that matches my face, so it's my skin tone, kinda....does this make sense? lol

Ok, you're confusing me, if you have pink undertones, then you're warm toned.....I think.....here's a little bit of info from the MAC site, I hope this helps you out a bit. :thumbsup:

Decide which of the following descriptions best represents your skin colour:

If your skin looks more Golden Beige, you match with Neutral Cool or NC shades.

If your skin looks more Pink Beige, you match with Neutral Warm or NW shades.

Most skin tones will fall into these two classifications. However, if you are still not certain which classification is right for you, consider the undertones in your skin.

To determine your undertone, take a look at the underside of your forearm:

If your veins look more blue, then you most likely have pinkish undertones. If your veins look more green, then you have more yellow or golden undertones.

If you have a significant undertone to your skin, you may choose to play it up or play it down by trying a shade that includes or excludes your undertones:

If your skin looks more Yellow-Golden Olive, you will find those undertones in the Cool or C shades.

If your skin looks more Beige, you will match with the Neutral or N shades.

If your skin looks more Pink, you will find those pink undertones in the Warm or W shades.
