Fair is the lightest, usually with pink undertones. Light usually has yellow undertones, for some reason.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yeah, definitely depends on the brand and the line. That's the particular Tarte BB cream names....but in general, whatever the lightest and next-lightest ones are...For instance, in the Urban Decay Naked foundation I use something that's like "3.5" because there's several colors between that and ".5" the lighest shade, but the colors between are not pink-undertones (and it's not like it's that dark--it's good for summers, for me)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm always looking for a brand with a color named something like porcelain because fair and light are usually too dark for me.

Oh! This discussion reminds me -- does anyone use Bare Minerals powder foundation? I use the matte formulation and accidentally bought the original formulation, and used it once before I realized the mistake (and the way I use it is by shaking a little power onto a plate and dipping the brush into that, so what's in the jar -- and the jar itself -- are basically untouched). The color is Fairly Light, original (not matte) formulation, 99% full.
If anyone wants it, holler, and I'll send it to you, because otherwise it'll go to waste.

meara, to bring a conversation over from LJ: the spa is Ladywell's, and it's three blocks from my house.

Steph, I've never tried it, but if nobody else claims it, I'd be happy to take it off your hands. I'm still on the hunt for my OneTrue powder foundation.

Epic, it's yours. Email me your address (my email is in my profile, if you don't have it) and I'll send it out, probably next week.
We have really similar coloring, so it might work well for you.

This was my thinking as well.
