I cannot find a foundation light enough for my skin. I am a natural red head, and every foundation I try is orange on my face. I tried Clinique, and just about every foundation you can get in the mall, and they are all too dark. Any suggestions? Please help!
Revlon photo ready foundation is really good. I was having the same problem you are and so many people recommended it its revlon photo ready foundation it is a drugstore foundation but it works like a charm .
I use fit me by maybelline and I absolutely love it. It seems to stay on really well and it comes in light colors. I also have very fair skin so i know what your going through but in my opinion it's the best! :)
Use illamasqua skinbase in the lightest shade ( its white) if you want to light up some foundations you already have...it last really long. Or buy the second or third lightest shade if you dont want to mix cause they do light foundations that fit the most pale people. It might be a little pricey but its totally worth it.... Hope it helped!
@Hannah Some people just apply it where they need coverage but i think its best to put it all over the face and blend it down your neck.... if you want to be sure of that you dont have any lines between the makeup and the bare skin. Dont forget to blend it into the hairline aswell!

I am superly pale, and the perfect foundation for me is the Kat Von D tattoo lock-it foundation in 42. It's basically white with a dash of peach.

Maybelline fit me is good, or you can try maybelline bb cream, which is a lighter coverage, but still great :)
