Please can anyone advise me on the best full coverage foundation for a very pale persob with marks, redness and occasional spots? I have 30 mins in a large department store before my train and need help!

Thank you in advance!!!

EL double wear also! I have the normal one and the lighter range which I wear to work as don't want it as heavy when working! It's great!!

The new L'Oreal Infallible 24 hour Freshwear foundation. Search it on YouTube and you'll see loads of videos showing you that it's definitely full coverage. There's also a large shade range including very light. There's also a new concealer called L'Oreal Infallible Full coverage which they state can be worn all over the face, not just as a concealer and it has a larger doe foot applicator because of that. I'm very impressed with both.

Revlon colourstay isn't bad, Laura Mercier the one in the burgundy tube (the name of which escapes me right now).

I used to use EL double wear but found out that No7 stay perfect is a really close match in terms of colour / wear and only costs £15/£16.

I have never found my perfect match with pale skin 😭😭 the closest and best one I have found is from the body shop, Fresh Nude Foundation (101 Chelsea porcelain). it's normally about £12 depending on what offers they have. Lasts me on a 12 hour shift. I found the more expensive ones left my skin looking orange - crazy! I only tried it because a friend started selling around the corner, now she has a regular customer 🤣

I agree with bare minerals!

Went with Estee Lauder, the person working ontbe counter matched my shade for me and suggested products to go with it so I was really happy. The coverage is great, I'm so pleased!! Thank you all again Smile

Charlotte Tulbury magic foundation.

'Sodding ' 🙄😐☹️

Said without a hint of bitterness, but if you managed to get matched at Estée Lauder, then you can’t be that pale. I once had a Clinique sales assistant cry because she couldn’t colour match me with any of their foundations. All too dark on me.
Lancôme Teinte Idole is excellent for the super pale among us.
