It's very hard for me to find foundation that is light enough for my pale skin. Right now I use covergirl 3 in 1 in the lightest shade but its still a little bit darker. does anyone have this same problem? what foundation do you recommend?

Shiseido has very light foundations that are full coverage and smooth and blend well.

I love Urban Decay's naked skin foundation. its got a very nice shade range, and is the first foundation I've found that matches me.

@Madyln G. The "chemicals" don't cause foundations to change colors. When a foundation turns orange, it is reacting with your skin and oxidizing; it is the pigments that do that--which are present in any foundation regardless of whether or not it is organic.
I've seen some light shades in L'oreal's True Match line. Otherwise, NARS offers some very pale shades (Siberia is one, I believe). You can also try Illamasqua, they have light shades and pure white, which can be added to other colors to make them lighter.
