well i cant help you with the bare essentials line but I can give you advice from Mary kays line who actually bet out bare esentials with mineral powder and their mineral brushes. I cant tell you what exact shade you would be but the beige 1 does not have a pink undertone, or if you have real dark spots then the yellow covers for real dark circles under your eyes and things of that nature. But a tip if you are using mineral powder it is best to not use a concealer because it will change the look in those areas. i would recomend a cream to powder foundation. If you would like any further help or would like to buy or try some samples you can contact me through my website at www.marykay.com/tturnbaugh.
