I am having real problems finding a foundation I like! It's driving me crazy. I have pale skin with pink undertones and every single foundation is too orange/yellow. I have a Bare Minerals foundation that is ok for sheer coverage, but if I try and build it up it goes too orange. I also have the Benefit Oxygen Wow in their palest shade which is also too orange. I recently visited Clinique and the lady gave me 2 samples, different formulas in their palest shades, one is far too orange, and the other seems to cling to my dry skin so if you stand close it looks cakey. I live in the UK so if any of you girls know of any brand that has pale foundations please help me!! I have been thinking I might try the UD Naked Skin but I bet all their shades are yellow based too. Please help!

UD Naked Skin is a pretty great foundation (:
if you can't find foundations that are pale enough, you can always buy a white skin base to mix with your foundation & make it more pale instead of constantly trying to find a foundation that works.
you can also get skin ID'd at a local Sephora. it's free & they will be able to find your perfect match in all their foundations!

Unfortunately there are no Sephora's in England. I will definitely go to UD though and see if they have some samples for me to try.

Makeup forever has extremely pale shades as well as Tarte. I have very pale skin ans they both have 1 or 2 foundations that are too light for me

I will be following this. Everything is too orange for me as well. It seems like the only thing that's worked for me is MAC Studio Fix powder...but I want a liquid foundation because liquid feels better for my dry skin. You might try the new IT cosmetics in the lightest shade. I tried it and it wasn't orange at all, but it showed up splotchy on my skin. Trying to work out the links with my skin to see if I can get it to look any better!

The urban decay naked skin in 0.5 is the only one pale enough for me. It has pink undertones as well so it sounds like it might work for you.

I will be following this as well. I have the same problem. I'm thinking of trying Estée Lauder Double Wear, since I can get color matched at the makeup counter and they have over 20 shades.

Estee Lauder double wear, I'm extremely pale and this is my absolute favorite and it's full coverage.

I'm really pale and always on the look out for that perfect foundation. I did buy the white face atelier foundation to mix with the many wrong toned products I've bought, it works well. I also got Ellis Faas liquid foundation it's pricey but is one of the best. Also Bobbi brown have released a now skin foundation stick which is supposed to be good.

UD Naked Skin is more on the neutral side, so it may work unless your undertone is really really pink. It works for me, and I have a neutral pink undertone (:
Also I like the hourglass immaculate foundation, and I think it has a shade that might be pink enough.

The shade I have in the hourglass is vanilla, and it's undertone is very pink

Thank you so much girls, this has given me so many ideas to work with. Hopefully when I go shopping I will be able to find something. Hopefully a few different brands will let me take samples away with me without buying full sized products.

My favorite high-end foundation is Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, and they have shades in beige, which is more neutral to yellow toned, and beige rose, which (as the name might imply) is wayyyy pink toned. It's really smooth and gives the best finish to the skin, it just looks like really naturally beautiful skin.
