Can anyone recommend a ghostly pale foundation for dry skin?

I have very dry skin and very pale skin- very similar to John Maclean's skin tone (YouTuber). I am needing to try a new foundation as I have the Kat Von D one which is good for my paleness but sinks into lines and separates (I don't want to set it as it'll dry me out even more and it's a dry foundation). I'm trying to get my skin more hydrated but does anyone know of a very pale foundation suitable for dry skin? I've heard Fenty is awful for dry skin, otherwise I'd give that a go. I can't be bothered mixing white foundations when I don't have a lot of time to get ready and I'm not a fan of foundation lighteners as I think they thin the product out or contribute to patchiness. Any recommendations will be great.

I am very fair and occasionally dry, I use Mac full coverage.
Doesn't get caught up in any dry patches lasts well, especially with there primer.
They will colour match in store.

Illamasqua face base has a white foundation. It warms up a bit on the face but it's still very vert pale. It's quite lightweight.
Fenty is definitely a no go, I tried it and my skin is slightly dry and it was awful.
The best foundation I've used when my skins really dry is nars sheer glow. Or the ordinary serum foundation.

Fenty is brilliant for shade matching

Hi, I have dry skin and use Bobbi Brown in Porcelain.

Korean brands come in much lighter shades. I love the Missha M Perect Cover BB cream (more like foundation with really good coverage), it’s really creamy and great for my dry skin. Only foundation I’ve ever used that doesn’t give me a different colour face to my neck! Number 13 is lightest

Nars are very good for ultra pale and have a few good formulas. When I'm at my driest I use their pure radiant tinted moisturizer but I also like sheer glow

Lisa Eldridge (pro make up artist) mentions several brands for dry skin in this video. (Her videos are so good if you ever need to find a beauty product for a specific thing - she’s done instructional videos on almost everything! Addictive.)
