I am looking for an extremley pale foundation that is oil-free, and is for oily skin. It is very hard to find really pale foundations for my skin type for as fair as I am... So if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks and Cheers*** ------------- Rose |

Hi, I've seen the gals at the Clinique counter with the very pale skin look-I'm sure they could help you. ------------- |

The palest I was ever able to find was the stick foundation in 'lily' by Estee Lauder. L'oreal (who I believe is owned by the same company) also has a stick foundation called 'soft ivory' that is very similar and about half the price. They are a touch dark for me in a couple places on my face during the winter, so I have to keep application really light there. I have never been able to find a liquid foundation that didn't look bright orange or pink on me though. A few people have given me the suggestion of checking out goth make-up sites as well, and that might be something to look into as well. HTH Palonia |

Realising that you were looking for oil-free. I'm not entirely sure whether the two I mentioned are oil free or not. How do you plan to wear them? I only use them as a concealer around my eyes for the most part, so I'm not sure how well they would work over the entire face. I suspect that if you are as pale as I am (and I've had strangers approach me to comment), they might be a bit too dark still over the entire face. Have you checked out 'Prescriptives'? They apparently offer a color matching system and should be able to make something up for you. Do you have warm or cool undertones? I have warm undertones, so the two I mentioned might not work on someone with cool. Palonia |

you may want to try Urban Decay, Amphigory, Armani, Helena Rubenstein, Shu Uemura, Anna Sui and MAC. They all have some extremely pale foundations. HTH! ------------- |

I am an extremely pale blonde, and all I've found that works for me is a shade by prescriptives. It took me quite awhile to find the shade I use now, which perfectly matches my skintones. I can't use Clinique, which I saw others recommended, because it turns orange on my skin. ------------- |

Im really pale and have the same problem trying to find a good shade that doesn't make me look like a clown, like i put cake frosting on my face, or like I've sunburnt my face. The palest shade I've found that works well and doesn't have these effects is Max Factor's Facefinity. I use Light Ivory. ------------- |

I actually am pink, and ironically enough, I have a hard time finding foundations that aren't too beige for me :-P . *shrugs* Not that I bother with make-up unless I have to anyway, though. . . ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

| canarycosmetics.com has some very pale mineral makeups, I've used their cherry vanilla and it is very very pale. It is oil free and good for your skin too. |
