I would try the new Linen shade. I've found that it has a more neutral beige undertone than Creme or Nude. You can sort of tell even by the swatch colors online that Linen looks more neutral than Creme or Nude. My skin has some pinkness to it and neither Creme or Nude neutralized the pinkness enough for me. Creme overly accentuated the yellow undertone of my light-medium Asian skin and Nude made me look a bit ashy brown, as if I tanned a bit. I'm so glad they came out with the new Linen shade. Give it a try by sampling it at a store.

I have light skin, and reddish cheeks. I started with the Vanilla Glow, and I liked it, but it's summer now and I switched to the Cream Glow. Gives me a little more color, blends beautifully, covers the red (better than the VG), and looks natural. I'd spring for the Cream Glow, and if it's a tad too dark, mix it half and half with another moisturizer or sunscreen.

If you have yellow undertones, I recommend using the color that gives you a little bit of a rosy glow to counteract any sallowness. So whichever one has a rosy tint to it, would be my recommendation.

If you're more medium than olive/tan I would definitely go cream glow over nude glow, this product does run a bit dark. I have light to medium skin, more on the medium side and cream glow is perfect. In terms of undertones it's quite neutral, I would not say this is pink

I'd go with a mineral foundation powder, I love Laura Mercier for price and hypo-allergenic reasons. I have super sensitive acne prone skin even as an adult. I love this product for everyday use and even use it as my primer for my foundation so I don't use as much foundation as the BB evens out my skintone before I even apply foundation.

answer 4

I use a primer meant for acne prone skin, such as the one made by Cover F/X. I have also found for my type of adult acne, where I usually have no more than 1 or 2 spots, albeit BIG ones, at a time, that rather than going for a heavier foundation, which hides not just your spots but even the "good skin"parts of your face, that it is better to work in layers. Go for the acne fighting primer, follow up with a concealer for the acne spots, (Murad makes a good one), then go for a lighter foundation like this one. If you have acne problems that are all over, not just limited to one or two spots, I'd still go the same route, but top this with a mineral foundation to set the BB cream and give you one extra layer of coverage. I find overall that using layers to build the coverage makes it look slightly more natural. Just my 2 cents!

I have the same skin as you and have used and own both products. Here's what I do. If my skin is good then I use the pp and some powder and I'm good to go. If I am having a bad skin day I use the beauty balm bc it gives me great coverage. I like to look natural and because the coverage is better than average I look like I have full make-up but I don't just the balm.

I had one of the women that work at Sephora apply this to my entire face with her fingers. I bought it on the spot and have loved it ever since. It gives just the lightest coverage while evening out your skin tone, gives you a beautiful dewey glow AND has SPF. WIn, win! I just put a dot on both cheeks, nose, chin and forehead and rub it in. The woman at Sephora said not to pat it but to rub it in like lotion. Hope this helps!

To me, the color lineup is not in order from light-to-dark. It is "kind of" a combination of cool/neutral/warm overtones from light-to-dark. I had to return "Linen" for "Vanilla Glow" because the store lighting gave me a false impression of the true color .

Yes, the vanilla is the lightest. It's not as heavily pigmented as concealer or foundation, so it only needs to be correct within a few shades. I have fair skin, but if I tan in the summer, I probably won't need to change it.
