Very Light (Fair) Skin tones - Shades, pics and more!

Salam aleikum dear sister!

Finding your perfect shade can be a daunting task when done online, so I want to give you all the info possible for you to make a choice. 

This series of blog articles is dedicated to each shade range, and all the information about it so you can have a better idea on what to expect!

In this blog, we will be looking at the Very Light (Fair) Range-

If you fall into the Very Light range, you are in the fairest of the fair—the lightest skin range of all, which often comes with its own set of challenges. Finding foundations that are light enough to match your skin tone can sometimes be tricky. Your skin likely burns easily when exposed to the sun and rarely, if ever, tans, making sunscreen your ultimate BFF!

Words like Porcelain and Alabaster are often used to describe your shade, and you're probably prone to redness. Most very light skin tones tend to lean towards a cool undertone (but don't worry, we'll explore undertones in just a bit).

In the Light Range we have the shades Silk and Marble.

Silk has golden/warm undertones,

Marble has a neutral warm undertone

Vanilla(can also work for the very light range) has a Cool undertone,

(It's quite possible to have more than one shade match your skin)

🔘🟠🔴Now, let's talk Undertones

Undertones play a big role in how your foundation reacts with your skin. You can be in the right shade range, but the wrong undertone can make your skin look ashy, orange or pink, (yikes!.😮) And just in case you need help deciding your undertone, here are some easy tips!

ANOTHER WAY TO FIND YOUR UNDERTONE:

In natural light, look at the inside of your forearm and wrist.
 If the veins are:

Greenish - you have a YELLOW or warm undertone.
Blueish/purple - you have a BLUE/PINK or cool undertone.
Indistinguishable or you see both green and blue - you have a BEIGE or neutral undertone.

Once you have an idea of your range and undertone, then it becomes a bit easier to find the right skin tint shade, (and cream concealer) :
