Help! I have tried almost every affordable foundation known. None of them seem to match me because the lightest shade still seems to be orange tinted on me. Throughout the day the orange gets worse. I am oily/ normal, fair and very sensitive to breakouts. I have tried the manic panic dreamtone to mix in with it and it makes it so greasy. Mineral foundations slide off my face through out the day no matter what primer I use. I would rather have something that is liquid and affordable. I definitely cannot afford high end stuff.

Have you tried revlon colorstay or rimmel stay matte foundations? Both lines carry a very pale shade. I would also suggest a good primer (rimmel makes a great one) which will help the foundation from oxidizing (getting more orange throughout the day)

I sure have they have both broke me out so bad. And yeah the primer I use is very good sephora brand primer. It's the only one I have found that doesn't break me out. Ahh. It's so complicated and frustrating.

Hey! If you have sensitive skin you're going to want to go a tad more expensive to get products and ingredients that are better for your skin. Try the bare minerals radiant primer. It brightens your face and is very very very light and non reactive. For foundation try the cover girl Aqua ones. Apply with a beauty blender or it will be too thick. If you've tried that one go with the neutrogena healthy skin enhancer and mix two shades. Heck mix three. Finding your perfect shade takes practice and patience! Good luck.

Oh and one more thing both of those foundations should be great because my skin is sooo pale its translucent. Hope it works!!

Thank you! I haven't tried the skin enhancer yet. The one I found I loved for a while was the Almay blemish control and the lightest shade started turning orange on my so fast after I started using it. I know I have tried some neutrogena and their lightest shades are darker than the Almay sadly. Almay is good on my skin and even tried the smart shade which for some reason still turns too dark on me.
