I don't know what it is but every foundation I try is the wrong color and it's always the lightest color and I can't go any lighter. It's the wrong color and wrong undertone. Help please!!

If you have a Sephora near you you could go and get your color IQ done, it matches you to every foundation they carry in the store and tells you what shade works for you. If you don't shop at Sephora you can still use some of those matches and plug them into foundation matching sites like Temptalia and find your match in drugstore stuff.

Definitely have a look at Bobbi Brown. She has the best range of shades, all undertones. Basically as advanced as a Mac colour range but Bobbi's foundations have a fantastic quality and a consistently wonderful formula. It may be on the pricier end compared to Revlon, Covergirl etc. but imo, foundation is the one thing that is crucial to get right, so I'd take a look into that. :)

I've heard of some manic panic product that's pure white you could get and mix with your favorite foundation and it won't change the formula

Erin I tried sephora and it actually gave me the wrong color the foundation I got was way too dark for me. And aleighnna I was told I'm a mix if yellow and pink but honestly I don't know how to find my undertone

^ if gold jewelery looks better on you, you have a warm undertone (yellow) and if silver jewelery looks better, your undertone is cool (pink).
I am practically as pale as an albino and L'oreal (I use the true match foundation) is light enough for me. bobbi brown also carries very light shades, you should definitely check that out!

You may have to go to a different one (though I'm a Sephora addict with 15 near me so this is easier said then done for me) as one young lady got my IQ number right and the other one wrong.
If you can wear gold and silver jewelry equally you're a neutral undertone (like me). Which can be a little difficult as I know a lot of foundations I was looking at before are either for warm or cool and didn't have an in the middle.
Another suggestion may be to go to a store with lots of natural light and swatch like crazy (my Ulta has lots of windows but I hate Ulta) so you can really see what the colors are like as different lighting can make things lighter or darker then they really are.

Try NARS Siberia, its a neutral undertone, if you want a sheer to medium coverage. This color was to light for me and I'm really pale as well.

Maxime I tried a lot of loreal true match shades and they all look pink on me and I love loreal true watch. I feel like every foundation looks like a put light pink paint of my face. And I can't afford HighEnd products.

And I think I have a neutral undertone. Good and silver jewelry look good on me

^ maybe bourjois is an option for you. I have their healthy mix foundation in the lightest shade which is a pretty good match for me and it has a slighty yellow undertone!
