Which shade of Bare Minerals...

[cejr15]

Hi! I want to try out bare minerals but I don't know which shade to go for, either fair or fairly light? I put a picture in for added help! Thanks!

Also if anyone has any other recommendations for other make up that would suit my complexion, whether it be eyeshadow, lipsticks, glosses or blushes. Thanks!

deffo fairly light! im NW20 in mac foundation and i wanted to start using bare minerals.. anyway you can only buy it online over here and the swatches looked ok so i picked 'light' and when it came it was ok as it was summer and i had a tan [probably about NW25 then] and now i can only wear it when i have fake tan on! so i suggest fairly light to you as you look abit paler than me naturally

Thanks for the reply! I know the pics aren't great, I'm usually the one talking them then I have none of myself! Yeah I was thinking of fairly light as well. Did you get the starter kit? I was thinking of just picking the shade and buying a mac 182? My skin is dry and I'm worried that it might just make me look flaky! I'm from the UK too!

yeaup i agree with glam8babe. fairly light looks right for you! Are you going to get the set? I think that it's a good deal. It lasted me a pretty long time.

i didnt get the set! i got the foundation and mineral veil both really cheap from Glow Girl: Online retailer of cosmetics, makeup, skin care, tanning, hair care its soo good! fast delivery and saves you quite abit. i use the 182 to apply it too and it goes on flawlessly my skin looks perfect [and its nowhere near perfect naturally!]
if you are going to buy the foundation then you should really get the mineral veil as it sets it and makes it last longer.
