Extremely Pale Foundation!?

Saaron

I've been searching for really pale foundation for ages now and nothing has ever been pale enough!

I've so much foundation it's unreal. They all end up being too peachy/pink or orangy!

I've tried Revlon, L'Oreal, Bourjois, Rimmel, Maybelline, etc and they all end up a shade or two too dark for me.

More expensive brands like Bobbi Brown and Mac have had the same results
I have tried MUFE's Mat Velvet in it's lightest shade which I can get away with, it's just the formula which doesn't suit my skin! Bit too matte for me... (I really can't win.)

I have slight yellowish undertones, but I really need something less pigmented, maybe just something neutral. Not white!

I really can't afford to keep wasting money on this.
If anyone knows of any good pale foundation please could you help.

Thankyou!

I'm very pale and spent years looking for a foundation that doesnt make my face darker than my neck!! started using Max Factor Colour Adapt in Creamy Ivory(think its the lightest shade)..I find it great. Been using it since last summer and I use it everyday and it lasts for ages. Its very light and you d hardly know you were wearing it but it still has good coverage.

Oooh thanks, I'll try anything!! If I get any spare money soon i'll give it a try. Hopefully i'll love it just as much as you do

Laura Mercier do great pale shades.

Shiseido's Dual Balancing Foundation has a light shade called I00 which is great for us super pale ladies.

Makeup Forever matt velvet in alabaster - best foundation I've ever used, took me years to find the right colour, and I'm as pale as you get!

There is a Makeup Forever shop in Dublin somewhere on Clarendon Street.

I'm reaaally pale too,like ghostly pale!:pac:

The best one i've used so far is L'Oreal Perfect match(i think?)in porcelian rose(not too sure,but it has rose in the name)
and whenever i wear it my friends say it doesn't even look like im wearing foundation(i know thats what it's meant to look like but a lot of people around here are tango'd):pac:

Only 15 euro aswell!

+1 for the Illamasqua foundation, Have been using it since they opened last year...with concealer to match. Love it!

I have very pale skin too, and I have been using Aldi's foundation in "translucent" for the past year or so. I find it great. Give it a try anyway, it might not suit you but for €3 or so its worth a try.

Nyc do a really light pressed powder and GOSH do a really good light liquid foundation.
Also if you're willing to get stuff online Stargazer panstick is amazing and you can get it in really light shades

Really? I got the porcelain shade of that too and I thought it was extremely dark!

I love Illamasqua. The rich foundation gives great coverage and comes in loads of shades, including white!

I use this too and find it brilliant

I would go back to MAC, I am pretty much blue I am so pale and they have always managed to match my skin for me.

I am quite pale I usually stick to ivory foundations! Maxfactor pan stick 13 is really pale, I use it as a concealer, I find that No.7 do very light foundations also, I tried it and they ended up being way too pale for my face!! So they might work for you.

What about prescriptives? They make up foundations and powders to suit your skin colour and type instead of something pre packaged. Ive never had a foundation suit me so well since I went to them last year. Plus the amount you get for your money is marvellous.

Clinique do an alabaster shade in their Superbalanced range- use it all the time- v light texture so you would need a consealer aswell

I must be incredibly pale cause some of you guys that mentioned make up such as the pantsick no.13 look incredible dark compared to my skin?

I was just thinking that! That is very dark for me. I'm quite pale, but I wear mac studio fix fluid in NC 15 with a pale powder over it and find that works. I find that putting just a small amount on lets my skin colour through and I don't look too dark.If I wear it as a full coverage look it's too dark for me.
