Looking for a foundation.

I really need to find a foundation that I love and that works for me but I haven't had any luck. I want something full coverage, stays put, and really fair. I have really oily skin, tons of breakouts, redness, and acne scars. And I need something that has really light foundations, and I mean really light.
Revlon, covergirl, mac, nars, urban decay, tarte, MUFE, bareminerals, estee lauder, smashbox, benefit etc. don't carry light enough shades

Hopefully you can find the right shade, I can't imagine there aren't people lighter than you. I'm not sure of an exact foundation but have you looked online sometimes brands have more color options available online. also, if you have found a formula you like ( I LOVE double wear) I'm pretty sure mac and makeup forever and maybe a few more brands offer a white foundation that can be used to lighten the shade. I've never tried it but I'm guessing the best bet would be to maybe buy the white foundation, get a sample of a foundation you like in the correct tone and the lightest available & try mixing it to see if that works for you before you buy a bottle & you can always return the white foundation. sorry I couldn't be more help hopefully others can give you more shade options.

Sarah has the right idea! I didn't know about a white foundation. That's a really good idea mixing the two.

Try out Lancome Idole Teint! I also have acne scars and with only one application, it covers all of my redness and most of my scarring but with two, it definitely keeps your face looking fly throughout the WHOLE DAY! And I have been using it for 4 days now with the LA Base Pro Primer and girrrrrrl, it's now my holy grail foundation of which I thought I'd never find c':. I set it with Laura Mercier setting powder and it does last me all day even though I do get oily and when I blot my skin a little on my t-zone, no foundation rubs off! Love this foundation (:. And I've tried Hourglass, Clinique, Coverfx, and MUFE but nothing has made me happy until now (:

Oh and I've tried Estee Lauder Double Wear but it broke me out and not the right shade for me.

The bare minerals serum foundation had a shade that's SUPER light, like, albino white. If that shade don't work for you than honey- you need to get out in the sun!

Isadora has really light shades and great foundations.

I know manic panic makes a 'dream tone' white foundation for mixing. You could look into that? :)

Have you tried mac? I'm really light like nc15 light and prolong wear foundation is a perfect match for me. Keeps me shine free from 7 am until 6pm with one powder touch up. Lancome teint idole is also great they have really light shades plus its long wearing and helps witj oil control and has medium to full coverage.

@Shanae J. I have tried Loreal but even the lightest shades were to dark. And they oxidized.
@Sarah N. I look way darker in my pictures than in real life. I delete the ones that show how white I actually am because it's blinding. I have looked into white foundations but never really committed because I was unsure about how it would change the formula
@Yaira D. I will for sure look into it. At this point I just need something to match my skin, cover things, and not rub off. And Estee Lauder barley even carries shades below medium
@Claire R. I burn in the sun! But no I tried their powder foundation and it came close but still way to dark. And the liquid was basically fake tanner.
@Gretel T. I've never heard of them before. Do they sell it in the States? If so then I need to look into them more
@Shaye M. I have really sensitive skin so I try to use products that won't break me out and that are more for everyday application, I have looked into it but I don't think it's right for me. Thank you though.
@Rebecca J. Yes I did try MAC. The shade they gave me was embarrassingly wrong and on top of that I think I was allergic to something because I got a bunch of tiny red bumps on my face. I will look into Lancome though. Price doesn't really matter at this point. If something matches I would spend $200+
@Olivia A. I was looking at some of the foundations they have but after lots of research I kept coming across people saying it was pretty much only good for people with dry skin. Maybe I will have to double check
@Amy H. I actually have it and I'm using it now but the coverage is really sheer and it's about 2 shades to dark and the wrong undertone.
Sorry these replies took so long, I fell asleep and didn't get a chance until now. Thank you for your help though. The search continues.

Have you tried Kat Von D? I know she carries very light shades but they also provide AMAZING coverage. Also check out chanel!

Tarte 12 hour full coverage foundation or bb cream works great :)

I've heard of the white foundation working well, but since I haven't tried it myself I won't say it definitely will or won't change the formula but like I said you could always return it!
