I'v noticed that you all have some way of catagorizing your skin color...such as (I'm going to get this wrong because I don't really remember) P1.5, or something close to that. What is that from and how can we determine our own skin color? Is it a Fitzpatrick-type or something similar?

Very Curious about this... Shock

hmm I'm not sure about the P1.5. I might have missed some posts about that I think. We do often talk about #1, #1.2, #2 etc If this is what you mean then these refer to Bare Minerals foundation colors. If this is not what you mean then I'd surely like to find out the answer as well Very Happy

Here's a quote...

"...color match for my NC 30 complexion"...

I've seen "PPP" and "NNN" used also.

Do you think these (like the #1, #1.2, etc) are related to specific foundation colors in different makeup lines?

Thanks Mabsy!

Not sure about 'NNN' but the 'PPP' and others are explained on the above site.

Well, the PPPs etc are as explained above. The #1, #1.2 etc relate specifically to Bare Minerals foundation colors. The NC15, NW30 etc etc relate specifically to MAC foundation/powder shades. HTH
