I would probably say the lightest of all the shades the diffuse. Flash may work but it has somewhat of a pink undertone and if you are very pale it might show up more than you would like. Diffuse would probably look the most natural and compliment your features like your red hair the best. Hope this helped!

I have used it and it does give you that glow without being to shiny or glittery.
I used it ontop of my foundation. It looks great on bare skin when you dont wear much makeup but want a nice glow.

Your coloring sounds like mine except my eyes are mid-to-dark green. I use Flash, which will balance out the yellow in your skin well. I found the bronze color to be too dark and fake-looking, and the Diffuse color is a sheer white shimmer that would be better for small areas (like inner eye corner and browbone) rather than for the whole face.

I believe it is meant to be mixed into your foundation, but I liked it best when I blended a tiny amount onto my cheeks and brow bone as a highlighter; it really did impart a nice luminizing finish when used this way.

Irina, you use it with your foundation or tinted moisturizer (that's what I use) and all you need is a small squirt! A little goes a long way! You do not want that over glowed look.

You can apply to cheekbones and brow bones for a beautiful sheen, or mix with your moisturizer or foundation for an all-over glow.

I personally love Diffuse. I have pale skin and it really adds the shimmer that I love on my cheekbones, brow bone, and inner corners of my eyes. It's a great product that will last forever, seeing as how you only need a little :)

The ingredients that would cause a great deal of skin irritation (to those suffering from highly sensitized skin), are as follows: glycerin, magnesium aluminum silicate, safflower seed oil, phospholipids, titanium, iron oxides, and, for those with an allergy, remember it contains green tea and gingko!

No sparkles at all! It's more of a pearlescent, luminizing finish - no glitter involved :)

The "sparkle" in this product is not an actual chunk of glitter.
It is subtle, and you must blend with your foundation to achieve the look of luminescence. Remember to chose based on your actual skin tone, not that of a look you want, after say, a week in Florida. Tan's fade, and the lighter the color of the product, the more natural your "sparkle" will be.

Which color lotion would be best for my skintone?
I'm fair - but not super-white with brown hair that is highlighted and lightened from sun, blue eyes, and freckles. On the Bare Escentuals scale I'm between a fair and faily light. I mix them for the perfect shade. Just wondering which one would be best for my skin before I invest 30 dollars. Thanks!

I would guess either Prism, if you need some warming of the complection. Though Diffuse (the one I use) seems to go with most skin tones.

Diffuse or Prism will work great on your skin! Diffuse has more of a silver (but natural) finish that will blend with any skin and Prism has peach which works really well on light complexions like ours!
