Well if it's any help I have the CC cream in the shade light and it's a bit too dark for me, I can make it work though as I have a neutral to yellow skin tone and just blend it down my neck plus bronze my neck up a bit as it's much paler than my face anyway......apparently a few of us have the dreaded white neck syndrome lol. I would be fairly light in bare minerals and vanilla in drug store foundations, usually second to palest shade in everything. I'm going to go for the fair I think so that I can mix the two foundations together and try to get a better colour. The CC cream is lovely especially if you've got dry skin like me. Just hope the concealer comes in medium because the light one looks way too light for me!
