Recommendations for a very pale foundation/BB cream/tinted moisturiser please!

I am very pale and in the palest available foundation in most brands is usually far too dark for me. The only one I've found that is pale enough is the lightest Rimmel Perfect Match foundation. However, the coverage is very light and I find it doesn't stay throughout the day. I have hormonal acne to cover up so I really need a good foundation as well as concealer!

However I would also be happy with a good BB cream or tinted moisturiser that I can then layer foundation or whatever else on top.

Any suggestions for a ghostly pale person? Smile

Just wanted to let you all know my BB cream finally arrived all the way from Korea yesterday! The shade seems right although the coverage is very light, I love the way it feels really moisturising and has a high SPF but at the moment I've got really bad hormonal acne and it doesn't quite hide the redness enough. It's fine with an extra layer of foundation and concealer in the worst areas though - happy I bought it! Hopefully when my skin is less bad all I'll need is a light dusting of powder on top of the BB cream.

I will definitely be trying out some of the other suggestions on this thread at some point.

Glad you're happy with it. Asian bb creams are brilliant and come in much lighter colour ranges too.
The bb creams are normally quite buildable so perhaps try that and you might get the coverage that you need at the moment.

Try the misha air cushion, (that's what I think it's called), I buy mine from amazon for about £8 usually.

The Body Shop lighting drops are really good, as I have the same problems with too dark foundations.
