    I am looking for recommendations for other makeup products for very pale skin. I have the foundation sorted - Illamasqua Skin Base in shade 02, MAC nc10, Revlon ivory (to get an idea of the colour and I have dark brown hair if that makes any difference) - so I am interested in other products especially blusher and something to contour with as I'm never sure whether they are too dark from looking at them in the shps. Also would be interested in highlighters, bronzers and any other products really :D

    I'm a fellow pale gal, so here's some of my faves!

    - Benefit Coralista, a pinky-peachy blush
    - Nars Sex Appeal, peach blush. My absolute favourite! I need to buy a new one, saving up the funds!
    - The Balm Mary Loumanizer, golden powder highlighter. Beautiful shade, more for night time/full make up looks
    - Lancome Blush Highlighter 001, pale pink and extremely subtle. Suitable for day wear.

    I've yet to find a bronzer that I love yet! I normally just nick whatever my mam has in her make up bag. She has some MAC ones.

    I'm uber pale and really struggle trying to find foundation, blush etc..

    I've bought alot of high end blushes but none of them have been as good as NYC Color Wheel Mosaic Powder in Pink Cheek Glow (I think that's what the colour is!)

    It's very pigmented and very natural looking when applied. It gives a healthy glow to my cheeks as opposed to super pink doll like cheeks which I have gotten from other brands.

    I got it in Penneys and I think it was 3.50. It was super cheap!

    I really like Benefit's Dandelion, it's a really pretty subtle pink. Also Benefit's High Beam is a lovely liquid highlighter.

    I am dying to try this, I've heard so many good things about it.

    Fellow Pale gal here.

    I am loving Hervana blusher at the moment. I think its very natural, and doesn't have that peachy/orangey undertone that doesn't really suit my pale skin.

    Mac Harmony is quite nice for contouring and bronzing.

    I use Mac strobe cream and high beam for highlighting.

    Dior 010 is the palest foundation I could find. Using the diorblush cheek creme in Panama at the moment.....peachy!

    Twee stole my recommendations :p so I just wanted to second Coralista and Sex Appeal. Sex Appeal is my go to daily blush. I also like NARS Orgasm for night time, just a small amount is enough as its a bit pink/shimmery but its a really nice shade.
