I flawless have really fair skin. Its really hard for me to find makeup that compliments my skin. I also have dry skin but I use moisturizers and primer before I use my makeup but it still comes out flakey and patchy. I've used liquid foundation and pressed matte powders but nothing seems to give me that look. What should I use??

I feel your pain. My skin is very dry and pale too. I use loreal true match foundation and rimmel stay matte powder and neither dries me out. Try Nivea's Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer, its amazing. I use it as a moisturiser and a primer. It makes it feel like water is just soaking into your skin its beautiful.

I also have very fair skin so I find it hard to find foundation that's light enough for me. I recommend checking out L'Oreal True Match and Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation. My all time favourite moisturizer is Simple Skincare Light Hydrating Moisturizer, but I have oily skin. They also have a heavy moisturizer for people with dry skin and their moisturizers soak into the skin nicely. For a primer I recommend checking out Rimmel Fix and Perfect Pro. You may also want to invest in a bb cream as a primer or a tinted moisturizer. Marcelle has some very good products for that.

So glad others who have very fair skin posted. I would love to hear colors/brands that have worked for you. Also wanted to share if you know of at least 2 foundation shades that have worked for you findation.com gives you your matches in almost every brand. I'm NW15 blue undertones.

@Felicia..exfoliating would do wonders fir those dry patches. What skin care do you use? I've found Smashbox Photo Ready primer. Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation and a powder by Physicians Formula that illuminates applied with a beauty blender by rolling it on t-zone works well for me. NARS Sheer Glow in Siberia works for me also. I like a med-heavy coverage and seek illuminating products, I want to GLOW! lol...

@Shauna..I'm just interested in what others with very fair skin are using, I'm a makeup/product junkie and I understand it can be challenging especially getting a shade of anything that works for you. For example, what blush works for you?

I'm not hugely into blush but I loveee Nars Orgasm or you can use a dupe like NYX Pinched. Also, if you check out Smashbox's Master Class 2 Palette they have a few gorgeous blushes such as "Carnation" and "Geranium"

Revlon colorstay in ivory ha been pretty good for me. Lightest shade I could find in boots. I really want to try out MUFE face and body foundation but nowhere local for me to try it out first.

I feel your pain... I am also extremely pale and always have a hard time finding shades which are light enough for my skintone. However I found a few which are pretty good matches for me. these are my 4 favourite foundations:
max factor 3 in 1 (light ivory 40)
l'oreal true match (R1.C1 rose ivory)
bourjois healthy mix (light vanilla N. 51)
Bobbi brown long-wear even finish foundation spf 15 (porcelain 0)

took me ages to find the right colors! If I were you I would stay away from both maybelline and Rimmel, I found that their lightest foundation still is pretty dark on really fair skins. for example, I wear their lightest shade in the summer when I'm tanned...
I hope this helps you! and excuse me for the dirty bottles, I'm such a sloppy girl haha

I recommend DiorSnow BB cream, it is fill coverage and works wonders on my very fair skin.

I feel your pain. The lightest shades are usually only good for summer when I can pile in bronzer and fake tanner. Clinique cc in the lightest shade is good with med or higher coverage. I'm dying to try dr jart v7 for fair skin!! All other dr jart has been super dark. Here's a pic.

You can always try mixing a little bit of a moisturizing cream in with your foundation. I hear it will also give you a dewy... Don't know from experince tho.
