Answer 2

Yay pale skin rocks. I am pale too ;]

Really you shouldn't be using foundation because it ruins your skin, all my friends and family that use it then complain that it makes thier skin dry, flaky and irritated.

But I do use Avon's Personal Match Barely There makeup [SPF15] It is a liquid formula that adapts to your skin colour and blends in really well. I got mine for around £5.

Answer 3

my face tends to be really pale even though the rest of my skin is more of a light olive. I've tried foundations to try to make my face brighten up in pictures but it always looks cakey. This summer though I went with a bronzer and it totally did the trick. It's powder so it doesnt feel caked on gives my face a nice glow. I would try a really light one -- that should make you look a little darker and cover blemishes too.

Answer 9

MAC Select SPF 15 Foundation in shade NC15. (I believe this is the lightest shade possible, although they have 21 shades to choose from should it be TOO light for you). I've had a 30ml bottle for a year, and it's still 1/3 full. It's £18 a bottle, though. But this is a bargain because it's top quality. It's got SPF15 in it which means it'll protect your pale skin from becoming burned in the sun. This foundation also gives a flawless look to your skin when (and when you're not) being photographed with a flash, as it was initially designed for pro-makeup artists to use on celebrities. You only really need one thin coat of it to make your skin look perfect, although for a more porcelain look you can add it more heavily. It doesn't melt off in the heat, either! MAC will cover the redness, generally, but it wouldn't help to use GOSH Green Concealer - this is around £7. It'll balance out the red tones and make them invisible to see when you wear foundation.

If your peeling, exfoliate and use moisturiser before applying your Dream Matte Mousse. Although, friends have used that before and it's dried their skin out, so maybe you're adding to the problem. Saying that, however, my skin was fine when I used it.

MAC is definately worth it though. You can't buy it in Superdrug or Boots. Usually Debenhams sell it. It's a dream in a bottle. (:

Good luck, which ever foundation you choose.

Answer 10

Dainty Doll is the new make-up brand created by Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud..this brand is designed especially for pale skinned women, and has amazing matte foundations. You can check it out at many leading drug stores, superdrug, boots etc.

Answer 11

I found that MAC makeup always looks good on camera (though sometimes a little drag-queen in person). Talk to the girls and queens over at your nearest MAC store/ counter. They have different textured makeups and even a mattifying base for your foundation.

Also, I have the same problem as you and I use an ivory-olive color they gave me that really offset my pinky cheeks.

Answer 12

Go to a MAC counter if you can afford to, they always match you with the right colour and type of foundation - it's brilliant.

Answer 13

I use clinique - i have tried many of their different products and all of them are really good. They dont have the best coverage of spots but i fix that by using a rimmel powder that keeps my skin looking even.

Answer 14

if nothing else works, see a dermatologist with a cosmetic line up

Answer 15

Oooooch i found the best one! Mayberline dream matt mouse (Ivory)
