However, I have no idea what color to get since I don't know anybody around here that uses it. Also, being that I live in the deep south, I was looking for a makeup that I could wear year round, especially during our great humid heat filled summers that makes you feel like you're in a sauna 24/7.  Really the only makeup I wear during the summer is eyeliner, mascara, and lipgloss.
I'm uber fair.. let's just put it this way when i burn i go back to being fair i don't tan
I have dark brown hair that lightens during the summer to a brownish red since I'm outside so much.
I also have hazel eyes that are more green since I wear green contacts
Thank you ladies soo much for your help!!!

I would suggest going to a Sephora/ULTA or a Bare Minerals boutique to try the actual shades on your skin to find your shade. If you are super light, you may try AOIIAlum's suggestion of adding to the foundation to get a new shade.
I'm in between the Medium Beige and the lighter Tan, so I mix some of the lighter tan in with the Medium Beige foundation pot and the result is perfect for my skin tone.
I haven't used BM in the hot Texas summers yet (just started using it in September), but I have worked out in my makeup before since I work out during lunch on the weekdays and it doesn't look like it was melting off my face like a lot of liquid foundations can.
It's also really light so I have no doubt I'll make it though the summer and not feel like I'm wearing a mask!
