I absolutely love the product, but think I needto go a little bit lighter. It seems like the foundation is almost too dark on my skin. Is the fair shade only for porcelain skin or could someone with a relatively light skin tone wear it?

Thank you, all of you, who recommended this product to me. My skin is so happy.

What shade are you wearing? I use the fairly light....but my skin tone is not real fair, I consider it more med. Some of the shades have a cool, beige tone and some have more of a tan or golden tone. The golden tones work better for me personally.

I love this product too

Yes, it is great!
I don't personally do it, but I hear you can mix the colors together to get the right shade.
You could try mixing some of the light into the one you wear now until it lightens up to match your skin tone.

Right now I'm using fairly light but I'm not sure if the golden undertones will still go well with my skin now that my tan is fading as it's winter. I wanted to try the fair foundation but I don't want to look like a ghost either.
