Best foundation for pale skin?

Question

At the moment I use max facotr colour adapt in the lightest shade.
What in your experience is the best foundation for pale skin?
I want something that isn't going to look too fake.

Answer 1

I have very pale skin and use either Stila illuminating foundation in 10 watts, or Prescriptives tracless foundation in I think level 2. The prescriptives one is best in summer as very light!

Answer 2

I use the clarins tinted moisturiser for a natural effect (its not at all obvious and if you select the right colour it is very sheer) with touche eclat (YSL) in number 1 (palest) under the eyes. For a more solid coverage I use a chanel lumiere product which is more suited to evening and also requires a bit more practice for application - either a brush or a sponge works best. It comes in very pale colours and is good for winter. Also - another tip if you have pale skin (like me!) i just got a new peach coloured eyeshadow from stila which has warmed up my 'winter look' no end, it seems to give a bit of vibrancy to your look and really suits pale skin which surprised me - i normally go for pinks and pale ecru type colours.

Answer 3

I have very pale skin and I can't use any other colour of foundation other than Ivory. Anything darker makes me look like I have fake tan on! So I suggest whatever foundation you like the best make sure it's Ivory. It's usually the lightest colour of foundation.

Answer 4

The very best foundation for pale skin is Prescriptives. They can match your skin exactly. Their counter can be found in most dept stores. I would never use anything else because other brands look orange or yellow on my fair skin.

Answer 5

I know its cheap lol but I use the number 1 (lightest) in either Rimmel or Collection 2000. I find that looks quite natural. Hopefully anyways otherwise ive been goin round none the wiser!

Answer 6

I am very pale. I use Chanel (shade - Claire Cameo) because it looks natural, but there are other and less expensive shades. I would try going to a department store and asking for some samples of ones you think would work for you.

Answer 7

I have very pale skin, too. I use Mary Kay. It was FIRST TIME EVER that I found a foundation that didn't make my face a different color than my neck!!

Answer 8

Try puritycosmetics.co.uk. It is made from natural ingredients and makes your skin look really good! It comes in pale colours.

Answer 9

Boots No7 Radiant Glow Foundation in Ivory - very natural!

Answer 10

I started using bare minerals make up and i love it! I looks so natural. The foundation comes in tons of shades. I bought the starter kit which comes with two shades of foundation, warmth which I use as my blush, and mineral veil which is like a translucent powder to set it all up, and three brushes. It is expensive but woderful!!
