can anyone recommend a really really good foundation for pale tired looking skin?

Stop using foundation if it is a cream one and try Mineral Powders, they are really good, give you a flawless finish, are good for covering blemishes, spots etc and will make you look fresh.
Try the following website, as they do samples and have many colours to chose from. A small sample pot is only £1.75, but at least it is cheap initially for you to just try it out. I promise they are really good.
You will need a colour and the finishing powder.
Go on, give it a try, I did and I love it.

I've used so many different foundations because I'm a foundation freak. What I'm hooked on now is Bare Escentuals mineral makeup. I have pale skin and I use the 'fair' color. It is a light foundation color that is for skin that doesn't have yellow undertones. The next to use if you do have slight yellow undertones is 'fairly light'. I even mix it with my sunscreen.

Lancome has creamy texture. If your skin is pale and tired looking it could be an underlying problem like an iron deficiency, or it could be from lack of exercise and sunshine. Rather than cover it up, try going for walks, or doing an occasional (not often) fake tan to add a little glow to your skin without damaging it.

Try one of the tinted moisturisers. So many to choose from, but No. 7's "Soft and Sheer" is my favourite. You don't want anything too heavy as that will just make your skin look more tired.
With a tinted moisturiser, you are feeding your skin a bit of moisture and concealing and colouring at the same time.
Just add a light blusher, and you'll look great!

Bare Escentuals has a product called well rested, and also a product called Natural light that will help you with tired pale skin. Follow it with their foundation and voila!

I would recommend trying The Body Shop foundations, they are silky soft on your skin and brightens up any complexion, try one that is near to your own skin tone and add blusher to cheek bones to get a rosy look.
Good luck

Yes Bare Escentuals. Its a mineral based foundation, looks like a fine powder but goes on sheer and you look flawless. Try the QVC website as they sell on there.

Mary Kay has a whole line of basics and makeup sure to make any tone of skin beautiful again, I just couldnt' believe the results when I did their facial, I'd look online for a representative in your area and get in touch with her, you won't be sorry

Prescriptives - expensive but they have a foundation for every skin type/tone/condition. They are quite simply fantastic.
