CG - Classic Ivory

Jane - Fair Enough

L'Oreal - Pale

Bare Escentuals - #1 Fair

 
Hmmm, can't remember what shade of Estee Lauder I used to wear. But I have been using a slight tanning moisturizer, so it wouldn't work anymore probably.

Maybelline Dream Mousse - Medium Beige 2

Revlon Age Defying Liquid - 10 Sand Beige (is too light) AND

Mary Kay Medium Coverage - Beige 400 (is too dark)... SO...

I mix them together!

Have you had a chance to try Prescriptives? I'm paler than paste and their lightest color matches. I'm assuming you're pale too, by the colors you listed. Those colors are dark on me.

Nope, there isn't a Prescriptives counter nearby. I would want to try them since I heard they match light skin tones, but I wouldn't buy a foundation without trying it first. Maybe I could order samples from their website??
