Answer 1

yoiu don't look like you need any foundation, lucky you. but i have pretty clear skin also and just like to have a nice even tone. i have had problems matching my skin tone also. i recently bought covergirl tru blend foundation in a compact and like it pretty well. i used to use tanners too but i found it sort of a pain as it added to my already exstensive beauty routine. you might want to try higher end makeup if you haven't already and can afford it. i know that at nicer stores they will help you find the makeup that looks good on you and they will try many different foundations/coverups on you to match your skin. just know that you really don't need makeup, at least not that much. you are a beautiful girl already.

Answer 2

I would recommend a tinted moisturizer instead of foundation. It is much more forgiving. I love Laura Mercier. A little less expensive, Elizabeth Arden (I kid you not!). Becca, Tarte also make good TM. Prescriptives Traceless matches any skin tone.

Actually, PX Traceless would be a good choice. You will find a skin match.

Answer 3

I would suggest trying two products from bee-lucsious cosmetics , the mineral liquid powder foundation in color Linen or vanilla and then use the safari bronzing powder I feel you will fall in love with these two products, you can check it out on beeroyalproducts.com

Answer 4

the best thing to do is to mix foundations together to get your custom tone. that's what i do. and makes sure when you put it on, put the lighter color on first and even it out with a bit of a darker on and then a neutral one over it, so it lasts through out the day. and moisturize before you foundation! :)

Answer 5

i think it looks fine to avoid make up lines put your foundation on with a brush make have one its called airbrush its not that expensive it buffs the foundation into your skin it really gives a flawless finish
try benefit playsticks foundation its beautiful on the skin or mac studio fix

Answer 6

There is this foundation that looks gray when you squirt it but then it blends you skin try that it is called Almay smart shade.

Answer 7

Have you tried any of the Prescriptives or other department store quality brands?

If you are a woman of color it may be a little more difficult to get that exact shade.....but there are a few companies, like Prescriptives, that can specially formulate one for you.

Answer 8

giorgio armani foundations are good for fair skin. try luminous silk no. 5. if you want a good, affordable bronzer, try physicians formula. it would be better if you asked for help from a make-up consultant though. they can tell you which shade of foundation or powder will work for you.

Answer 9

hmm, the second one looks better...but I think you're wearing WAY too much. Foundation worn too thickly look REALLY badm, orange and you get neck lines!! I think you should wear less, and try it out.

Answer 10

try Mary Kay or try mixing 2 colors but i'm sure Mary Kay has something for you hope you find somthing !=)
