Collection does some very pale matte shades. You might have to get the pales ones online.

Nars do great foundations for pale skin with different under tone options. I am Mont Blanc.

I have really pale skin and have for years used Body Shop foundation, as I never like spending loads on make-up. I find their moisture foundation didn't just sit on the skin, it looks really natural and I found a shade that really works for me (is either the lightest or second lightest for my ghostly complexion!).

I went a recommendation by a poster on here for ilmakiage

You answer a few questions and it works out your shade, It was lighter than my usual and at first I was abit sceptical, but it is deffo the right shade for me and so glad I stuck with it - it is pricey (about £28) but its quite a big bottles worth and I use a teeny amount so I imagine it will last yonks.

They emailed me about a week after I received it to ask if I was happy - which I wasn't sure, and they sent me a different shade which is definitely wrong, and made me realise I should have just stuck with what I had in the first place, I think it was because it was so different to my 'usual' that I needed to trust in it but glad I did.

Someone I work with is as pale as I am and uses revolution. She looks like perfection. I tried it and look awful but it's cheap enough that I would recommend it to see if you can look as good as she does. I have a very red nose with a weird texture which is why it didn't work for me.

The Ordinary do a matte foundation in ultra pale shades (I am a milk bottle too) and it's only about £6.
