I have light skin with slightly red undertones. I have tried dozens of foundations as it is hard to find a shade that is not too dark but still provide nice coverage. I like the HD (High Definition Foundation). I use shade 118.

I dont know anything about a kit BUT the powder is the bomb.. for me (African American) medium deep complexion with golden undertones.

I nearly bought mine online but it was worth it for me to make the trip to the store to find the exact color. The color I chose was a perfect match. If you can't make it to the store, the website describes pretty well the skin tones it will match. Dior#30 is a beige, so if you have beige undertones, just choose the one for light, med, or dark. There's also yellow and red undertones. You have to know the undertones of your skin. If you do order, you can exchange if the color is wrong (I asked a sales associate for myself when I bought it).

The best solution to your problem is to patronize a Sephora store. The clerks there can help you select the proper shade. Also be aware that you complexion color changes with the seasons so you may need more than one shade.

This product works marvelously for photo shoots. It does not alter with flash and is a savior for unexpected blemishes on camera. Good luck! :)

There are so many different colours, I had a really difficult time choosing because there were about 3 that were really close to my skintone. I went with this one because it looked the most natural, plus I could always add a bronze powder when I tan! I would suggest going into the store, if you can, and just try them out...there are so many to choose from with minor differences!

Definitely save your money and buy Loreal Infallible or their loose mineral foundation. Laura Geller mineral foundation kits are amazing!! You would be so much happier with them. I just got HD MUFE today and feel the ones I listed above were so much better. I'm not going to buy this stuff again.....wish I could send it back. Also, it's great to buy online because you get the great free samples, and a free super sample in the month of your birthday, if you make a purchase. I just got 9 free samples today (I split my order up three ways or maximize my freebies) and shipping is free on every order over $50. It totally easy and shipment is speedy. Good luck!

I referred to the pictured shade guide and matched closest to my skin tone. Shade number 120 was perfect for me, but remember you can always exchange or return for another shade if needed.

probably light beige (18)

i think the best way to use this foundation because it is so light is to use it with a foundation brush and not a sponge. i would recommend something like the 187 brush from MAC. SEPHORA carries the same brush so you can find it in the store as well. it makes the foundation look as if is airbrushed on. thats how i apply this foundation on my face and it looks amazingly flawless and i get a lot of compliments about how smooth my foundation looks.
