great foundations/skin bases for pale skin

[spillyobeans]

Just wondering if any other pale ladies want to share their pale foundation finds (or bb cream cc cream primer etc)

I always find i have to buy a very cheap one i.e: rimmel for shade (but the coverage and feel is horrid) or end up paying upwards of 40 pounds for a luxury brand that feels too heavy or greasy!

So far the one ive stuck to which ive found amazing (inspired to tell you guys after the korean makeup thread) is a bb cream from korean brand 'missha' - missha perfect cover in shade 21(which is quite pale) or 13 (which is very pale). It has great coverage, spf 50! And looks good most of the day and doesnt cause me breakouts at all. I buy it off amazon for 8-10 quid!

What about anyone else?

No one has mentioned Young Blood. I love this mineral brand. The foundation comes in all forms including a pump bottle and has a good colour range including fair ones. Everyone tells me how amazing/ young I look when I wear it, and it lasts all day. It can be layered up to your preference. It does not settle in lines and if you use their primer first your pores will not show. I'm very fair and very slightly yellow toned and Pebble suits me. They do make pink toned fair ones as well. Always pick the colour that disappears into your skin when you test on your face.

Missha BB cream in shade 13 is a perfect colour match for my very pale skin but I can't get it to blend properly, it's too moisturiser like in texture. Makeup Forever is now stocked in Debenhams so I'm going to try one of their foundations.

Hola, I’ve hijacked a zombie thread (sorry) as i learned about Missha BB cream in shade 13 on this very thread. It’s the best for me in terms of colour matching that I have ever had but times change and products get better (plus it takes me an age to receive from the eBay seller I buy it on). Are there any new foundations out there for blue/white skinned women with too shiny skin?

I'm cool toned pale and wear (if I don't put the shade name, it's the palest!)

Liole dollish veil vita in purple
Revlon colour stay
L'Oreal infallible stay fresh porcelain
Revolution conceal and define foundation (and concealer) shade F1 and C1
Revolution pro foundation drops shade 1
Double wear in shell
Wet n wild photo finish porcelain
Lancôme teint idole in 008 (don't be fooled, 005 is darker)

Update - doublewear have new paler shades
Alabaster appears to be the palest

Thanks @Ollivander84 That's really helpful 😀
