Cool/neutral/pinkier toned foundations for fair skin?

I really struggle to find foundation that matches my skin. Most are too yellow or orange for me.
My skin is fair, but it's kind of peachy pink and yellow just looks unnatural, even if it's light enough.
I'm looking for recommendations from anyone who may have a similar skin tone.

bobbi brwon - porcelein is a good shade. a definite pinkie pale rather than a yellowy pale.

Have you tried no7 ? I got matched to cool rose or soft rose ( slightly paler for the winter ) your skin tone sounds the same as mine

I used to wear NARS in Mont Blanc, and at the cheaper end of the scale, Bourjois do several foundations and a CC cream that match me pretty well - the 123 foundation in Vanilla and the 123 CC cream in Ivory.

No 7 or Lily Lolo are good.

I've had a nightmare trying to find a foundation. They are either too yellow or too pink. Clinique tend to be more pink toned. I tried a sample of The Body Shop shade no 2 Moisture foundation & it was a neutral fair colour. I was quite impressed as I seem to be reacting to lots of foundations.

I'm quite pale and pink and Clinique do well for me. I use Even Better in no 3 in winter and no 4 when I have a tan, or mix the two. I won't buy foundation from Bobbi Brown, as a BB counter rep once told me that my pinkness was a flaw that needed to be corrected. I will NOT be oppressed!

Definitely bobbi brown, or some of the Max factor ranges go paler/pinker than others.
