Yeah I mentioned it in the list of ones I tried, its slightly too dark and its very yellow toned.

Mufe is in Dublin city, can't think of the name of the street though, its the only one in Ireland as far as I know

I live the complete opposite side of the country to Dublin but I'm moving closer to it in the next few months so maybe I could drop up one day.

Its unfortunate that they aren't more widely available in Ireland along with other brands! hope it works out for you and you find a good suitable foundation :)

Try using a yellow powder got foundations that are slightly too pink and a pink powder for foundations that are slightly too yellow. It should help even it out.

I suggest going to a counter and letting someone match you. You may find better undertones with

Jillian, the problem isn't that I'm being matched wrong, the problem is that I can't find a brand that is stocking pale enough shades with neutral undertones. Thanks anyway though :)
Thanks Fanny, right now I'm mixing the pink and yellow ones together but I'd rather just have a perfect fit yano?

MAC either leans yellow or pink. MUFE goes pale and neutral. So does Naked Skin. If you do go to MAC I suggest the matchmaster foundation.

The loreal true match concealer runs really pale... So pale even I can highlight with it and I usually take the palest shade in any foundation... But the lightest loreal true match concealer shade (vanilla) leans very yellow toned which works for my warm yet pale skin.

Has anyone tried Ilamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation? Its very mixed reviews on Makeupalley.
Thank you Eve and Sarah :)

Oh and I forgot I am also in Ireland and understand completely the pain of brands such as elf,nars etc.not being available!! But Ireland is getting better with nyx and wetnwild now available in penny's and dunnes!

Where do you have Nyx?? I haven't seen it anywhere, and I've looked!
Ugh I know, I hate trying to find makeup here.

Aweee man I was going to say revlon colorstay but you've already tried that :/ maybe it if worked for you and only the color was bad, try a powder foundation over it thats a more yellow tone? :)

Thanks Jaqueline! I was debating if I should get rf100 (the white one) and mix it with my multiple too dark foundations or to get rf115 and just use by itself/ mixed with moisturiser?
It sounds really versatile which would be great as an all in one product haha :)

I'm not sure if you have this brand but Models Prefer 12 hr wear goes crazy crazy light, shell which is the lightest is pretty much pure.neutral white. It doesn't break me out (I'm acne prone as well) and its got pretty decent coverage.

My friend has the same problem but nyx has very light shades and so does Mac if that helps

Jul 9, 2014

Caitriona H.

That sounds amazing Bec but we don't have Models Prefer here :/ Thanks Maddie :)
Thank you Janell, I'll have a look
