Hello Everyone!

I am currently living in Fuzhou and would like to purchase some foundation for my really pale skin. They don't do the big brands and I'm just wondering if you ladies had any suggestions?

When residing in china you should have a lot of Korean makeup brands available - I have heard so many talk about how amazing Korean makeup is so I would definitely suggest that you look into that. There's a million sites dedicated to this subject :)
I know they have some great makeup stores similar to sephora but unfortunately I can't remember the name - I would go in there and look at the brands you can get and after checking them out online.

China should have etude house, or holika holika or the face shop, or iope. These are all amazing brands. Etude house and faceshop especially

Thank you guys! I suppose my main worry with these is skin whitening (which seems to be a big thing here) I will look into that! :)

Uh yeah I understand that! But I don't think it will be in the foundations! But definitely check the back to see if it contains anything whitening and ask the sales people!

That's interesting that big name brands are not available there when the majority of them are manufactured there... Hmmm...

I know! I have tried but I'm I'm in Fuzhou not Shanghai or Beijing.

Gotcha that makes more sense maybe they have more of a selection in the bigger cities - I would check out the local pharmacy and see if they have any makeup/skincare brands there
