Mix it with a lighter/pale foundation till you get your perfect or close match thats what I do :)!

I bought a foundation a while ago that was too dark for me so I mixed it with my current foundation shade and it was perfect. If that doesn't work try a white foundation that the other ladies mentioned.

Manic panic dream tone is a white foundation! You can get it on amazon for $11!

You can just mix it with a lighter oil based foundation of it is difficult for you to find those brands in your country.

MAC also makes a micronized airbrush foundation there is a white shade, it's silicone based so it would work well.

There are cheaper alternatives I believe Manic Panic makes one called Virgin Dreamtone or something.
I think quite a few other brands make a pure white color for mixing.

Hi Angela alyson - there are several brands that makes white foundation mixers :) Berry M has a cheap one. Illamasqua also have one :)

I heard many talk about using the Mac one and never heard anybody say that it didnt mix well so I don't think it should be a problem - But lets hope someone who has tried will will see this post :)

Hi

So I've got a few foundations I bought online and none of them match me. I can't return them because I used a mail forwarding so it's a hassle :/

I got MAC Sculpt foundation in NC35 and MAC studio fix NC30. Both are overly dark, I have no MAC counters in my country so any suggestions?

I heard about the MAC face and body in white but because it's water based, does it mix well with oil based foundation? Any cheaper alternatives?

Thanks :)
