Good morning everyone! I wear anywhere from Fair, Fairly Light to Fairly medium. I so do not need another foundation so I thought maybe I could order a darker shade to use as a bronzer. Which shade do you think would work best for my fair complexion? Thanks!

J-Lou, you might want to try Medium so it's not too dark, but will give you a hint of more color, or Medium Tan. Both are for cool undertones I believe. (I know Medium is, I'm pretty sure Medium Tan is too.)

Thank you! You are right, I don't want too much color. Just thought I could pick a darker shade to warm up my complexion.

I too have worn Fair, Fairly Light, Fairly Medium, and Medium, but I only get dark enough to wear Medium towards the end of summer. Though last year I barely even got that dark, so I was torn on what shade to order since they don't have Fairly Medium yet again. I thought about Medium, but I have plenty still from wearing it over the years, so I settled with Fairly Light. I've been going back and forth between Fairly Medium Original and Fairly Light Matte the last few weeks, so I'm hoping Fairly Light will be okay. If not, I was thinking I could mix it with Medium. I have a deluxe jar of Medium that I ordered a couple years ago but never opened, so now I don't know what to do with it since I don't get very tan these days!

I'd love to get that tan again, but I hate maintaining after self tanning, and I guess I'd rather keep my skin in better shape than get much of a real tan.

I do not tan which is why I was wanting something to warm up my skin. Warmth is way dark and orange like on me.

Medium or Medium Tan would probably be pretty good then, since they're made for pink undertones.
