i've tried lots of tanners and things like that, and everything i try is too dark and adds a weird, yellowish shade to the skin, help please i would be soooooo grateful, thank you
ps. i've tried those gradual moisturising tanners too (dove summer glow, johnsons holiday skin etc etc etc etc) and they don't work, and, as i said, it makes it weird and yellowy
thanks

That white that you were born with is the healthiest you can look. I'm white as powder and have used lotions, tanners, sprays, etc. Give up the fight and give into your natural self. I say just embrace your whiteness with some clothing that accents really light skin. I have noticed a lot of models in ads with extremely fair skin and they are always adorned with beautiful colors that look great with their fairness (really light pretty colors). White clothing actually makes you look a little darker, because your skin isn't that bright of a white. You can't battle forever, just be yourself.

OK, well you must have a pink undertone to your skin. I heard from lots of users that NARS Orgasm blush puts a really nice color to pale skin. It's not too strong either. Remember that blending is key to makeup.
If you don't want to spend that much on blush, I would recommend some blushes from Jane, which you can easily buy at Target or CVS.
Another option is to go up to a makeup counter in Nordstrom or Macy's and schedule a consultation with a good makeup artists. Try Clinique, Lancome, or Chanel. It depends on how much you are willing to spend.
Forget about tanners, or bronzers right now. Start gradually and you'll figure out what you like and don't like in the long run.
Good luck!

If I were you, I would leave you skin alone!!! I love pale skin on women and you probably have a great complexion.
But if you are really insistent on adding color, you won't be able to tone your whole face, but you should be able to find a blush that will work for you. You could also go to department stores and make-up stores like Sephora. Often the staff will be very helpful with helping you find the appropriate shades to wear.

I wouldn't use a cream tanner at all if I were you - I have a similar problem, red haired and extremely pale, with freckles to boot!
I’ve found the best solution to be a simple bronzing powder, used lightly each day on my face, along with a peachy blush on my cheekbones. I think you’d like the results if you gave it a try!

i have fair sink too. what i use int he mornings before i put my make up on is a layer of jergens natural glow FOR FACES for FAIR TONES. it give me a nice tint of color without yellowing or oranging. it could just be your skin and how it reacts to the products you use. so try jergens for faces. it has always worked for me. but it could just be your skin. you can also buy blush thats a bronzer that works good for me too
good luck!

You should go to a tanning salon, because moisturising tanners don't work and by the way the salon are not expensive and you'll look fabulous

You could get a slightly darker foundation and put that on your face and neck. Also you might want to try a peachy shade of blush or bronzer

tanning salon? go to a topnotch professional if you get desperate. extremely white skin goes well with dark hair though. it looks very couture.
