Really pale tinted moisteriser or very light foundation for dd

Dd is like a milk bottle, and even palest shades are too orange. She has been using my Laura Mercier tinted foundation Shock in the lightest shade, but still has a visible line.
She wants really light coverage ...doesn't wear it every day, but for going out.

(she's nearly 17 btw in case anyone gets offended about a 12 year old wearing makeup!)

Stila is often on sale and specialises in ice-maiden tones. Lovely.

My whiter than white 15 yr old uses both Benefit's You Rebel tinted moisturiser in the palest shade or a fab MAC foundation also in a v pale shade.

Back before Xmas she was using god knows what and applying it with a trowel so I dragged her along to the MAC counter where we spent ages with the most wonderful chap who went through everything with her, showed her how to apply as well as how to make the most of her features. Now when she wears foundation she looks like a fresh faced teenager again!

I second the Lily Lolo mineral foundation vote. The lightest shade is truly ghostly pale and it's also got various skin benefits so is ideal if she gets spots.

I use the Dr Jart BB cream from Boots and find that the platinum one is really pale.

Are you me Villa? I use exactly the same.

My DD 14 loves Orgins Vitazing (llike sugarandspite said on page 1) it is brilliant - don't know how it does it, but it suits both our skins and I'm quite dark and she is very fair. Very natural looking.
