Need Your Help On Face Color

My daughter is a BareMinerals fanatic. She always has it on her Christmas list. I was looking at three different items and hoped I could get some suggestions or opinions on them.

She has light brown hair highlighted with a lighter brown/blonde color, fair to medium (closer to fair, but not translucent) skin and green eyes.

I was looking at

1. BareMinerals Bare Wonders READY Boost the ???? (sorry, can't remember, it has 3 round colors in the narrow pan).

2. BareMinerals Star Factor Illuminating Color with Boost.

3. BareMinerals READY Color Boost the Adrenaline Rush.

I hope I got close with all of the names.

I would really appreciate your help with this. I'm not a BareMinerals user, don't "boo" me, I'm allergic to it, so I don't know much about their colors. Thanks so much!

Are you asking what shade she would wear?

Re: Need Your Help On Face Color

Are all of these specific items on her list? The first one is really pretty, but the two end colors look dark for a fair person, so I'd eliminate that one.

The middle palette looks nice and the bronzer might work for fair skin, but I see in the reviews people are saying it's not pigmented enough.

The third item, Adrenaline Rush, looks like it might work. It's still a little dark, but I know I can get away with darker blushes more easily than a darker bronzer. The light shade has a little shimmer, so she can mix it up a little depending on how she uses her brush.

Blogger Isabella is light-medium and here's her review of Adrenaline Rush with some pictures.

This has nothing to do with what you're asking, but --- have you seen the new kit they have the holiday set with bag? That looks really nice, and you wouldn't have to worry about matching colors that much. Smile

Re: Need Your Help On Face Color

Hi, Quinny! As a fair person, I have found that even the luminizers in these sets with bronzers are a bit dark, and all/both/any bronzers have been far, far, far too dark to use easily. I could not recommend any of the three you've mentioned.

A blush set ~

These would be so pretty with her eyecolor ~
