I have super-light, glow-in-the-dark skin. When I first got this product at the makeup counter (not at Sephora), the salesperson suggested 03 Honeymilk, which was way too dark for me (thankfully it was just perfect for my mom). The second time around, I got 01 Pale, and it blends perfectly with my skin.

I have asian skin that is on the fair side, a little sunkissed though, so I use honeymilk. Usually on the actual box, next to the title of the shade, there will be a (G), (N), or (P). The G stands for Gold, meaning if your skin has a yellow tone to it, it'll match your yellow-toned skin better. P is for Pink undertones, and N is for Neutral. I think Honeymilk is N. Hope that helps.

USUALLY U GET A SHADE THAT'S DARKER THAN YOU BUT IT'S VERY TRICKY. GET A SHADE THAT WON'T BE TO LIGHT OR TO DARK(I KNOW IT SOUNDS CONFUSING) TRY GETTING A SHADE THAT IS IN BETWEEN YOUR COLOR OF SKIN. SAY U PICK MEDIUM TRY DARKER MEDIUM. AND THE NUMBER ONE THING IS TO REMEMBER DON'T PICK ANYTHING THAT U THINK WILL MAKE U LOOK LIKE A GHOST/OUR FACE GOT BURNED. HOPE THIS HELPS.

It can be used for a dry sensitive skin. It goes on as a cream and finishes to a powder. Skin is left soft and smooth.

It is not listed to be noncomedogenic. However, it is oil free. And with any makeup you use, as long as it is removed by the end of the day it can help prevent pores from being clogged.

I have fair skin with pink undertones and the pale works great for me; however it would probably work for your fair skin with yellow undertones too. It also covers my blemishes well, however I still use a little concealer on my blemishes before putting it on. BUT before both, I use a primer, which also really helps the situation!

I would go with a bronzer or a blush and this line is perfect. I'm pretty sure they have cream blushes that are very sheer to the deeper reds. Just start with something light.
