So my current foundation (Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich) has been discontinued & the replacement is too expensive for me. I'm "Alabaster" in winter & "Porcelain" in summer - so v pale & I find most ranges way too dark. I have no wish to spend hours blending in a tide line so please can you recommend a pale replacement? Ta muchly.

Have you had a look at Nars? They do a wide range of colours and go quite pale x

Have you tried the foundation matrix sites?

I'm pale too, but I have pink undertones, and don't like a heavy foundation for day to day, and I've just started using The Ordinary Serum foundation.

Also, Kat Von D has lots for pale skin tones.

I use this. I’m very pale and use the n2, the n1 must be super pale! It’s pretty light coverage though so won’t suit if you prefer a more obvious foundation.

YSL go really pale. I wear BR10 in the Touche Eclat one. Urban Decay Naked Skin is also a nice foundation and 0.5 is a great match for me. Mineral wise I wear Porcelain in Lily Lolo.
Avoid Chanel if you are cool toned- everything seems to have a yellow tinge in their pale shades. Estée Lauder very poor in pale shades too- the lightest one in Double Wear Light is very dark.
