Pale foundation.

Pollyputthekettleon45 · 29/04/2015 18:07

I'm so pale I'm almost a ghost.
Ok. Maybe not THAT pale but I'm pretty close.

I've tried a few but they never last or they are really thick and claggy.
I can never find a powder either, 'translusent' is also yellow on me.

Help me please!

I'm always looking for the perfect pale foundation.
After many years spent wearing Revlon Colorstay in Ivory, I love these for sheerer and more natural coverage:

Mineral - Lily Lolo, the three palest shades
BB cream - Missha #13 and Dr Jart Water-fuse (green tube)

Have you looked at Illamasqua? They go fairly pale.

I'm very pale, Always palest shade. I use bare minerals. Seems to suit me well. I use "fair" (the lightest shade)

I use Max Factor porcelain it is pale but the perfect colour.

Stupidly expensive but my mum blagged me a free sample once: Versace do a range of very pale colours!

Suggest you google YouTube for "Mary greenwell" and "Lisa Eldridge".

There is a great video of Mary (on Lisa's) channel doing makeup on a very pale model- talking about the foundation etc - Mac from memory mixed with their base white shade.

Mary G btw is an iconic make up artist. Smile

Boots Lift and Luminate in Calico works for me. They will do a skin match test to make sure it's the right tone. It's the only one I've found that doesn't make me look orange!

Rimmel Match Perfection

For powder - check out the "High Definition" powders. They're pure white. Only caveat is they can look odd under camera flashes (as some celebrities have discovered.)

GingerLDN · 29/04/2015 19:49

Doublewear Shell is really really pale.

I am also pale and use Chanel vite luminiere (Aqua) as recommended by Lisa Eldridge. As its water based it's very light in consistency. I wear their palest shade.
Re powder, Nars looses powder in translucent is excellent..light reflective too.
