I'm Fairly Light in BE - should I go w/ Bare Linen or Bare Ivory?

Poppet1 — Thu, 18 Sep 2014 14:32:48 GMT

Help please....can't decide which shade would fit me best. I am fair with neutral undertones. I wear Fairly Light in BE and Ecru in Estee Lauder's Double Wear foundation (if that info helps). Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks, ladies!

I'm assuming that you are referring to the new Bare Minerals Serum Foundation? If yes, I am also fairly light & the bare linen is a perfect match for me. Hope it is a match for you too! HTH!

Yes, sorry for not being more clear on that. I was leaning more toward the Bare Linen but wasn't completely sure. Thanks so much I will definately give it a try now.

The serum foundation has a very yellow base so be careful.

I am Fairly Light and was color tested at Sephora by a real nice Sephora rep who knew what she was doing. Bare Linen is the match. I was using Bare Natural (but a bit too dark for me year round). I tried Bare Satin (no way) and Bare Ivory (had a greenish tint...made me look tinny).

I love Bare Linen... it is perfect and it looks so natural. Hope it works for you too!

I am Fairly Light in the original loose BE and matte (and Medium Beige in READY) and I use Bare Natural. I tried some of the other, more cool colors, and for me Bare Natural is 99.9% correct. I also went to a boutique a few weeks ago and she said it looked like a perfect match.

Definitely try a few colors to make sure you're using the best one.

Make sure you shake the bottle really well when you get it to make sure you're getting a good mix when you use it.

Bare Linen is a very good bet for you (I wear Fairly Light, and Bare Linen works perfectly for me) but I always recommend trying it out first if you possibly can.

I am also Fairly Light in the original mineral foundation. I wear Bare Linen in the bareSkin. The Bare Natural was too dark.

That's exactly what my DD is. Fairly Light in original loose & matte and she just got matched by the BE boutique for Bare Natural 07. It's a perfect match! Sephora used their color match system & came up with a different shade that looked too yellow/dark for her.

I'm fairly light in the loose foundation and Bare Linen in the Serum foundation is perfect for me.

same coloring here but Ulta matched me with bare shell and that is prefect for me. I would suggest going to an Ulta or Sephora if you have one handy and looking and matching all the lighter colors to see which is best for you. Bare Linen looked yellow and darker on me.
