Hi everyone!
I'm having trouble finding a foundation to match my skin tone and am looking for recommendations of brands that may carry a shade that would work. I'm extremely pale with pink undertones. It seems like every foundation I try in the lightest shade isn't a great match, they tend to be too yellow and I end up looking sallow. Any ideas?
Including a pic so you can sort of see what I'm working with.

Pretty much every MAC foundation, Make Up Forever, Tarte, Bare Minerals, Chanel, Bobbi Brown, NARS liquid and cream, to name a few.

Urban Decay's Naked Skin might be a good option for you in shade 0.5 which is pale and pink or Nars Sheer Glow/ Matte in Siberia or Mont Blanc?

I agree with UD Naked Skin in.05. I'm extremely pale and this foundation matches me great 😊

Another option for you, from me(I am very pale with pink/red undertones) is to get a completely white foundation, and then mix it in with another foundation. Mix it until you get the right shade, but first find a foundation that is the right undertone for you.

I use the completely white foundation by Stargazer, and I mix it in with my Lancome Idole Teint Ultra foundation in"02 Lys Rose". I do so until it is the right shade for me.

There's also one by Barry M, which is the one I originally wanted. The Stargazer one is quite thick.. and has to be really mixed in properly with whatever foundation you choose, just so you know.
