Palest foundation?

[autumnpalm]

Now that it is January, I have officially reached my palest phase of the year. I am naturally porcelain-skinned but am now paler than ever. I have a very fair complexion and blonde hair and foundation/concealer from most companies are too dark, even in their lightest shade.

I've tried L'Oreal, Maybelline, Bare Minerals and Bourjois, but they are all too dark. Are there any other pale ladies out there who have found a brand that works for them? I don't wear foundation every day- usually I put on a little concealer, blush, lip gloss and mascara- but it would be nice to find one for days where I need to be a little more polished.

At this point, I feel like investing in a Caribbean beach vacation and laying out on the beach would be cheaper than buying all these different products!

I have ghostly white skin, and have only found Estee Lauder Double Wear to work for me....good luck!

Just wear a lot of turtlenecks to cover up that line on your chin

I know alot of people like Laura Mercier tinted mosturizer but I myself have never tried it.

last year I ordered a MAC foundation and the color was the palest I have ever seen ... (it was by mistake that I ordered this shade..sorry i don't recall the exact shade).

I've been using Tarte's Smooth Operator in "Agent 02 (aka Facade)" for years now. It's actually a tinted moisturizer. It's the only one I've found that's pale enough for me, but also has warm undertones - why oh why do cosmetic companies always assume that if you're pale, you have pink undertones???

Take a look at MAC. I am pretty pale myself, but there are two shades lighter than the one I use.

Their quality is amazing, too. I have tried to use other companies products, but even at the higher price MAC looks so much better and you can use less because the coverage is better without getting too kabuki.

My daughter is very pale and she asked for a Clinique product for Christmas. I just went to the Clinique counter and asked for the palest shade of foundation. I think it might have been called "Fair." It suited my daughter.

I use Shiseido in Very Light Ivory--only one that I have found that is very light with yellow undertones.

I use Almay's lightest foundation. It's got that "color match" technology. I don't have it handy or I'd tell you the actual name. Sorry!

Clinique foundation in Ivory.

I have that problem, and most foundation also turns me orange for some reason? Not sure why. I use Clinique, very fair, in the formulas that have a neutral. The neutral is key to keeping me not orange, apparently.

I am super pale with cool undertones and I have always used Estee Lauder Lucidty in pale ivory. I would go to a department store and "try" different shades.

That's what I use. Mine isn't really a foundation - its a foundation with powder too.

I wear Clinique. The name of the shade is different depending on the "formula" of foundation you wear. I am very fair, blond, blue eyes and I accidentally came home with powder from Clinique that is too light for me so they do make some VERY light shades.
