Super Pale Skin?

I'm having real trouble finding a pale bb cream or foundation that suits my skin type. The one I used to use is now off the market, I can't even find it on the Internet cos it was a small, unknown German brand. The ones I've tried now are either to yellowish, too dark (even the lightest kind) or much much too expensive (e.g. 40+ euro)
Does anyone know a light bb cream or foundation for very light, pale skin?

Try Korean bb creams.most of them are really pale! you should do a researcg first,to see which brand offers a bb cream that is good for your skin type etc.I recommend Skin79, Etude House and Holika Holika.

I'm not sure how much it would be in Euros, but DiorSnow BB cream is awesome for super fair soon, it is what I use in winter and I get snow white by January.

L'Oreal True Match has pretty much every colour available especially for pale skin people like myself lol. Also Tarte has some foundation shades that are veryyy pale.

I'm very pale too and the foundation that suits my skin tone the best is the Touche Éclat by YSL, shade BR10. It's expensive but you can find it on Feelunique at a more affordable price and they often have offers. Otherwise, Maybelline newest BB cream has a surprisingly pale shade. Still in the high end products, Laura Mercier also have light shades. L'Oréal has some very light shades as well, depending on the product.

I've had the same exact problem! So I bought Etude House CC Cream in Glow and since it has zero coverage I also bought Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream to mix it with when I need some coverage. Works perfectly for me!

I have the same problem! I use bareMinerals. It's pricier but pale enough and so so good for your skin!

My skin is super pale too and I had the same problem until I got to the oriental bb creams! I recommend etude house and skin79 or if you search a foundation you should try rimmel wake me up good luck!

I've noticed that with having pale skin, it is really important to make sure you find a foundation that is the right undertone. I have a yellow undertone and have tried using all different foundations as I've noticed that any that were even the slightest bit pink would tend to look too dark in me (even if it was the lightest shade they carried)

I second what Megan advised. In MAC terms, I'd be about an NC5 or less (if they made it lol), and after trying SO many foundations and never finding one pale enough, I bought a white foundation so that I could customise any foundation to make it as light as it needs to be. Stargazer does a relatively cheap white foundation, and it's quite good. I mix it with Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation (in Shade 51).

I'm super pale. I'm an nc15 in Mac foundations. In the winter I am even paler than that. I take white Mac face and body foundation and mix it in with my foundation. You can do that with any foundation to make the color work for you.

I'd recommend buying a white foundation (Illamasqua, MAC, Barry M and stargazer all sell them) because then you can lighten any foundation you want to be a perfect match, I'm also very fair and this is what I have to do. :)
