Only problem is i've had the hardest time finding something that is light enough, and i think this is a problem for alot of girls, so thought starting this conversation might help alot of people out.
Currently using Bobbi Brown's foundation stick in the lightest shade it comes in and it works pretty well, but it's so thick that i only use it on spots.
I cant seem to find a good liquid foundation that will cover my whole face for a even complexion.
So help me and alot of other girls out by commenting what you've found works for fair skin, wether it's foundation, a powder, concealer etc etc.
Thanks pretty people! <3 ;)

i'm pale aswell, so i found a bb cream that works just as well as foundation, it's by MUA in the light shade and you can get it in Superdrug if you're from the uk :)

Use powders!! They go on light so if the color looks too dark only put on what you need and it'll match.

Well. I just bought an MUA bb cream in porcelain...used to drugstore brands running warmer and darker but nope this was albaster white. Good buildable coverage though so i will repurchase it in the correct tone. would recommend for a bargain buy.

If American brands aren't cutting research some Korean brands
Here in the states tan is the in thing :p yuuuuck lol
But in Korea fair is fierce so a lot of the brands white out there shades
It's the only way I found a bb cream or a colored powder to work with my skin

bourjois makes a great concealer for pale skin. i use it in the lightest shade 51 and it's a perfect match. it has yellow undertoned. i have to try the matching foundation, the healthy mix foundation, also in shade 51. try get some swatches of these, see if it's what you're looking for :)

The Clinique tinted moisturizer works really well for me and it covers really well. But if u do try a foundation that's to dark I heard you can add some water onto a wash cloth and dab then blend out to make it lighter or just get less product on the brush.

I'm super pale too. I've been using clinique in linen which works nicely though its a light coverage. I've also used mac studio tech in NW15 which works nicely too but makes me a little oily. Good luck xx

MAC & Illumasqua definitely. I've also heard coverFX, and Anna Sui (didn't even know she had makeup).
I'm NC15 in studio Tech , which is MACs lightest. I'd be happening with an NC10. I also suffer from ginger-vitis! Lol.
If you don't need a huge amount of coverage, try the new MAC BB. It's medium cover, and while not a BB in the strictest sense, it's a great product.
I tried a few different Asian brands, and the only one fair enough was Missha in #13. Everything else I tried seemed to be NW20-25. Still fair, but not Irish fair.
