Foundation for pasty chicks.

Thats right I'm looking for some fully sick foundation for pale girls ^.^

i do not like mousse foundation and refuse to use it.

soo i need liquid, stick, or cream foundation, as well as a pressed and loose powder

If possible i'd like one matching shade, a lighter shade, and a darker shade to help with contouring.

I prefer matte foundation but I'm making myself be open to other types as well so go ahead

thanks girls!

I'm pale too and it's very hard to find something that matches perfectly.The closest i got to my natural skin tone is
Neutrogena's Healthy Skin liquid make-up in classic porcelain nr.20
It's oil free and it hasn't caused any breakouts yet, and i've been using it for quite a while.It's pretty good.
I also have the Loreal true match super blendable makeup in warm.It's harder to blend it out though so i don't use it that much.

And the last one i have is Mac's Studio Fix fluid in NC15 which i believe is their lighest shade and it sucks! i feel like i've waisted my money.I have only used it once or twice and it feels horrible on, i am too aware that i have make-up on.I don't recommend their foundation.Also, it's waaaay too dark.You'd think it's Mac so they should have something for the pale girls too...
well, hopefully that will help you decide what NOT to get at least

yeah mac always has these awesome pale chicks but wheres the godamned product eh? like in your siggy.

i shall stalk her and find out what shes wearing

i'll go and test the neutrogena

im nota huge loreal fan but i'll test it anyway

China Doll foundation by Napoleon... It's self setting and very matte.

It's expensive ($65) but I think they make it pretty pale it but get someone at Napoleon to put it on you so you can see how it looks and decide from there Or their stick foundation.

i suppose i can put up with the asshole napoleon girls.

but $65 o.O eek.

i was thinking more like... $30?

Try another Napoleon store... Though it is rare to find a nice girl working in one.

Yeah like I said, it's expensive >.< But i've found the expensive ones look better on (i'm yet to find a cheaper brand that looks good on me). Hopefully some of the other girlies will know of some good quality ones that are cheaper =)

i could just go to like a zillion different cosmetics counters and be lie um hi.
put foundtion on me?

Definately =D

wish there was a benefit counter at my local mall

however there is one in chatswood so all is not lost

you ever been to warringah mall?

Me?

Nah. I haven't been out much lately. I need a good shopping spree!

to the mall with you!

its probably a trek but its awesoooooommmmeee

I absolutely hate L'Oreal foundations. Even the cool shades make me look orange. I don't think I'm as pale as you, and they are still too dark.

A lot of people love their True Match... It sucked on me. None of their stuff seems to work with my dry skin.

Try Revlon. Relatively cheap + not that bad. Also... Ahh, the one that starts with 'A'. Another cheapish brand. Damnit, can't remember, but they do a couple which SEEMED okay in the shop (matched my skin tone quite well).

As for pressed powder, you can't go wrong with anything, there. I actually really like Maybelline's Pure Powder. Good for keeping my few shiny bits (nose, especially) dry and matte-looking. Good for toning down dewy foundation as well.

do you mean Almay? :]

australis? face of australia? avon?

excellent

thankyou!!

Yes, Almay! They had some 'technical' kinda one, which had two tubes... The foundation part of it looked reaaally dark, but when you rub it in it changes. Here we go, Smart Shade. I have dry skin and it worked well on me (didn't dry me out heaps), and my best friend has crazy oily skin and it didn't make her look like a swamp fiend- but it was set with that Pure Powder I told you about...

It's quite cool.

I've never tried Australis foundation, but I had a blemish concealer from them once, a long time ago. It was pretty cakey, but the colour was about right.

EDIT: Wowee, I didn't know they had a Smart Shade blush as well. It would be interesting to see what the 'perfect blush' looks like

OOOH

awesome!

I have to admit, I did like Smart Shade a lot 'cause it was like magic. It was still quite a good foundation, though! I'm a neutral pale and my friend is an olive skinned pale, worked for us both. It's really light coverage, though. Still, evened everything out nicely.

ohhh like super super light?

i like something thats sort of

not heavy but well

covers me up

haha, I figured you'd mention that!

Almay is one of those brands I hate because they don't go into a range for darker skin tones. Revlon tackles that problem very, very well. :]

Yeah, I know, I'm surprised they even sell Almay here, with most women being at least tanned, with the majority olive or dark skinned. Works well for us pasty ladies, though.

OOh that Almay one looks wicked awesome. I really should start looking into wearing foundation. My skin is eek.

Estee Lauder Double Wear. Like naturally Im too pale and ive got really bad skin but this gives me a really coverage without feeling heavy and it looks natural and they have really pale shades which I need! I use Shell, which is pink based but Ecru I think is the palest yellow based shade.

But check the site

if you could get to a benefit counter some kinda gorgeous <<3 lol i am superdeduperly anaemically pale and it works for me and coverage is pretty nifty also, doesnt look all cakey either. kinda expensive though...

haha, lil, you should go to the topic I made for lisbeth and look at everything with asterisks by it. you and lisbeth are both pale and I think it may help tonnes. the asterisks are by foundations and tint blushers, so...num.

you guys saved my face yay!

im going to look into the benefit one even though its probably expensive and i am checking out estee ladue now
