So my skin is very, very pale with a lot of pink because it's nearly translucent. Most times the lightest shade in foundation lines are too dark or orange for me. I've been pulling my hair out recently trying to find something that's good quality and light enough. Does anyone have any idea what brands have light shades? As a reference Mont Blanc in Nars Sheer glow is a little bit dark on me.

Chanel and Dior both make very very light shades with rose undertones and they both have magnificent foundation products.

I also have a foundation by bourjois, it's called healthy mix and the lightest shade is also really light, without any orange in it! I love both of these products and I hope one of them matches you as well :)

Illamasqua skin base foundation in shade 2! I'm sooooo pale and it works perfectly for me! Everything in the drugstore is too dark for me but this shade is amazing!

Mont Blanc is also a little dark on me, the only thing I can recommend is buying a white foundation and mixing it with whatever foundation is too dark for you. Illamasqua and Manic Panic sell great white foundations.

Yup I agree with Rebecca! I'm lighter than NC15 and have a stock pile of 15 foundations that are too dark for me. I bought Manic Panic's Dreamtone in Virgin (White) for $10 and I've just been mixing 1 pump with a pump of normal foundation and it lightens it 1-2 shades making it wearable :) MAC and Illamasqua make white foundations too!

What about trying the nars tinted moisturizer? I used to use siberia in nars (matched pretty well but was a bit yellow and dark) why don't you try the shade Terre Neuve. its the new lightest shade they put out and its pinkier works great. For an actual foundation I heard bobbi browns lightest shade is good. You should also try dainty doll foundations.

The dainty doll line is specifically marketed to those with pale skin.

Lily lolo foundation in the lightest shade, kat Von D lock it foundation if you like really full coverage, dainty doll foundation and illamasqua all do foundations for the lightest complexions :) x
