youngblood pearl is the best color match I have found. It is pale yet isn't pasty white and doesn't have a predominant yellow, pink, or orange tinge.

I am ridiculously fair skinned, no M.A.C foundations are pale enough *sob* the only foundation i have come across so far which has stayed close enough to my own skin tone in daylight and false light is Bobbi Browns Alabastor 00, which they describe as 'the very fairest of skin with pink tones'.
The next palest is Porcelain 0 described as 'The fairest of skin tones'. Which was not light enough for for my skin.

I have the luminous moisturizing liquid foundation in Alabastor 00 as my skin is also terribly dry and that was recommened to me and it gives buildable covarage from barely there if applied lightly enough to a full cover.

Previously i had Bobbi Browns foundation stick as i had asked at the counter for a foundation which wouldnt yellow with age quite so quickly as the liquids are prone to but it only gives a very full on coverage really and looked terrible on my uber dry skin despite my trying my best to hydrate it >_<

I have rambled so much here lol its good to know im not the only one who struggles to find the right shade of foundation for very pale skin.

xlaniex

I'm hunting!

I use nc15 & laura mericer in porcelain

NC15

Make Up Forever Mat velvet is one of the best i've found. Gone over with a little mineralized skin finish from mac and i get the perfect porcelain, but healthy glow, off-the-cover-of-a-magazine look. I love it!

The MA is correct; N is a whole 'nother animal, not to be confused with NW or NC.

I wear NW15-20 (closer to NW20, though) in most MAC foundations N4 (which is lighter than N5) in Studio Fix powder.

I wonder if NC 15 would be a tad lighter...

l'm NW 15 but find MAC to dark, recently started using Bobbi Brown moisture rich foundation in Porcelain 0 it's lovely.

I'll have to try BB foundation, I tried MUFE in Velevet Mat + but the lightest shade was just icky on me...too pink! Didn't look natural.

I have to say I like a lot of BB products, maybe the foundation will be ok for me too. I am using Alima in N1 chiffon which is a perfect match on me, but would also like a liquid foundation.

I'm pretty late to this thread, but I thought I would add that I just now found the only foundation that matches my skin and that is Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in Porcelain. It's the only commercial and liquid foundation I've ever come across that doesn't look yellow or too dark on me! Love it!

hi

I`m also always on the search for even a lighter foundation. Laura Mercier is hard to come by in my country, but when I´ll see it abroad I will definitely check this out, too.


There is one beautiful brand that carries make-up light enough for me (even lighter than NC 15 which I am using normally, but still wish it´d be a tad lighter). It is called Face Stockholm. They even have white liquid foundation and super-light colours that might equal NC 5 (if it would exist in foundation). Unfortunately my skin didn´t like it that much, and now it´s used up anyhow. However, in case the ingredients suit you, it are great colours. My hope is they reformulate it one day because I seriously was considering ordering a new bottle regardless of what my skin says, just for the beautiful colour
Maybe MAC hears my prayers and makes a Select Foundation in NC 5 or white (the white Face and Body Tint from the Pro-Store was not pigmented enough for my taste)

I would like mineral make-up, but I don´t like the "mechanic" application and lots of brush-works on my skin, because it is so sensitive, and otherwise it won´t look good.

I played with my foundation today. I have both NC and NW 15 and Maybelline Pure Make Up in light 1.

After using the natural light I discovered NW15 to be way to orange and the Maybelline to be way too pink. I tryed mixing different combinations and trying new things but found one that woks best with my skin.

My skin is almost yellowish but hs a blue tinge...translucent almost. So I found that NC15 with lightscapade as a finishing powder worked the best. The lighscapade actualy helps lighten it a bit.

NC15 is definitely lighter than NW15. You mighht want to try it. I have both and compared.

Maybelline pure in light 1 is just a tad too light for me and same with the lightest in the neutral shade of Loreal true match. They're both still nice foundations though.

I also use CoverFX cream foundation as concealer and the powder foundation both in E10 and they're an exact match for my skin in the winter.

Yesterday I was in a department store and I was checking out makeup by Givenchy, and they had one foundation that was reeeeaaalllly light!! It was almost too light for me - and the best part was that it wasn't yellowish. I forget which foundation it was but it might be worth checking out for really light skinned persons.

It might be the Subli' mine then, there's a rosey shade called "Exact Dragée". I heard Givenchy products are of high quality, I've never tried them though... very pricey!!
