    Default I found foundation for pale skin!

    AFTER LONG LAST!

    I found foundation pale enough for my oddly pale skin.

    For years, I struggled to find a foundation even vaguely close to my skin tone...drugstore brands, department store brands, makeup specialty stores, all were too dark.

    FINALLY, I found Illamasqua at Sephora (stores didn't have it, has to be purchased online).

    I purchased RF105, which is actually TOO white for my skin (shocking haha). But it was a great purchase, because I can mix it with all the failed foundations I bought before to lighten them to the perfect shade.

    RF120 however, is a perfect pale foundation with pink undertone.

    The foundations are rich and provide great coverage, I love love love it!

    So for anyone with pale skin, I highly recommend!

    No way! I always have this problem - to the point where I tan so foundation looks normal on me (I know, tisk tisk tanning beds - but they get rid of my acne too!). I'll have to look this stuff up. BareMinerals sheer coverage was the only thing that came close to my coloring, but it was still a bit too dark. Thanks for the reccomendation!

    OMG I bought the coverup and its perfect!!!!!!!! The closest I've gotten to this was Ben Nye foundation in "geisha," which was NOT great at all. Finally, this life-long search is over, I am forever in your debt.

    Word? Awesome! The only other time I've found foundation to match my skin is MAC, and MAC's notoriously expensive and I go through foundation verrrrry quickly.

    Currently I use Covergirl's TruBlend in the lightest shade available but it's still a little too dark I have to cake really pale powder on top of it.

    One day I will realize my dream of starting a makeup company exclusively for redheads.

    I use CoverGirl powder, it's my favorite. But all of the foundations haven't worked for me, the closest I came was TruBlend mousse, which looks really good at first but looks weird by the end of the day and always makes my face red for some reason.

    Illamasqua is actually in sephora stores now. They are pretty kickass. Also, make up for ever has a color to match virtually everyone. I glow in the dark if I don't have fake bake on and they have a color that matches me in my pasty state. Laura Mercier also has a tinted moisturizer I can wear.
