I also wear the medium beige in the Celebration, but went with the light!??? Who knows? I'm hoping I chose right.

I am a light/medium also. I use the original CC in light. It is perfect for me. I had a sample of medium, I thought it looked a little dark on me. (a little bit peachy) The light looks much better.

I also use the original CC in Light. The sample of the medium was too dark. I use Fair and/or Regular in Laura's Balance and Brighten. I ordered TSV in Light.

Here I go posting again. I cannot wear golden anything. I don't know what shade to get. I am very fair, silver hair, green eyes and need a very neutral tone.

If you are very fair, as in "the fairest of fair", then go with the Fair shade. It's one of the lightest shades offered across QVC's cosmetic lines and (to me anyway), a true neutral shade, with no yellow or pink undertones. It's perfect for me in the dead of winter, but I now need their Light shade (which has more of a yellow undertone). The good news is that none of their products oxidize on my skin, so the color stays true.

Not sure if this will help but I was lucky enough to have my makeup done by an IT Cos. makeup artist. My skin is fair with pink tones and I had been using the Medium in the regular CC cream. The artist said that I should be in the Light and maybe even Fair. However the Medium was fine on me as well - my point is that I think the difference between Med. and Light is probably minimal - if you are darker than Jackie, I'd go with the Medium. Pretty sure that would be fine - the colors are pretty forgiving IMHO!

I agree the colors are pretty forgiving. I'm also more fair toned w/ pink undertones but in the winter I wear light mostly. I can wear medium fine and not look orange or fake-y tan but in the summer when I do have more color I definitely use medium which I actually have and keep on hand in the jumbo size. It's also pretty forgiving. A mix of light/medium is actually most perfect but I'm too lazy to do that daily - haha. I've swatched fair on myself at ulta and it's definitely too light for me.

Definitely light based upon everything you said, you would not like the medium as you sound like me

I have the light in the regular cc cream but decided to order it in medium this time. I am normally light but this one seems to have a gray cast to it, that's why I decided to try the medium. I went to Ulta today to swatch them to see if I made the right decision and I think I did. The difference between the two is minimal, the medium just seemed to be a little bit warmer. If I need to, I'll buy the fair and mix them

I bought Medium and Light. My normal perfect match is Bare Minerals Fairly Medium (light to medium shade, cool undertone). My experience with the cosmetics lines like It who don't have 20 shades in their repertoire is they tend to run more neutral/yellow than my skin tone. I'm using self tanner now because I'm sick of winter and cold weather/ pale, dry skin. The Medium is kind of deep even with self tanner, so I tried the Light yesterday and it's much better. Jamie also had an It Cosmetics FB posting about using bronzer when your tan is fading to bridge the gap into the lighter foundation shade. I love that this bronzer included is matte since the CC cream is illuminating. I also felt that the illumination in the lighter color wasn't so intense.

I love the ease of the CC cream. One pump, no brush to bother with for application and I'm good.
