Here's my thoughts on the colors, that I've actually tried in all three of Guerlain's Foundations.
Beige Clair-has tinest bit of pink, fairly light, but not quite light enough for the very pale, however you may get by using a translucent setting powder to lighten it up a bit.
Beige Natural-is more for a medium, yellow based skin tone (no pink here).
Rose Natural-I wouldn't say that it has pink, but more of a really warm-medium color and my favorite (I'm light-medium), because it really brightens my face up and I was able to lighten it easily with translucent setting powder. I apply very lightly with a sponge and get good coverage. You'll get even more coverage using a brush.
I've not used any of the other colors (afraid these might be too beigey/orange on me, but hope this info will at least help some from having to order so many times like I did....

I originally ordered the No. 2 color, but that was too dark for my fair skin which is very fair with neutral undertones. The No. 1, or lightest choice, works well for me, however. If the color choice is listed as a neutral, you can be sure that it is truly neutral, if that helps you at all.

02 is the closest, but it is leaning towards neutral to pink; not yellow.

None. I'm Fair yellow toned as well, and 02 is too dark & a bit too pink. 01 might work, if you can find it.

Suitable for combo and dry skin. May be too moisturizing for oily skin.
My suggestion would be to try Givenchy's Photo'Perfexion.

BE CAREFUL I GOT A BOTTLE THAT REEKED OF ALCOHOL, AND DUMMY ME TRIED IT ANYWAYS AND BURNT THE SIDES OF MY NOSE PRETTY BADLY. THIS BOTTLE DID NOT SMELL LIKE PERFUME. USUALLY IT DOES, BUT NOT SENSITIZING. GORGEOUS IF NOT FAULTY.

you should be able to find it under the brands list. per-fekt. they have a colorless gel. i think that might be what she meant. i have tried the samples ( but they had color) & they had a mouse like consistency & when on really silky. i hope this helps you.

You would have to test it..I wear #1 in EL DW Light, and #2 is beautiful on me. But, it's a cooler shade, so it might be close. #3 is warmer, and not much darker than #2. So, it might work...? Hope this helps.

If you are a 1 in EL, you will need a 01 in Guerlain. Unfortunately, it is not available in the states.
