Also, Estee Lauder has very light shades in the Double Wear Line, the nude shade (the lightest) in the Resislience Lift Foundation is also a drop too light for me, so could work for some of you. I have fair skin, red hair and green/hazel eyes. The skin on my face has pink undertones, but my body is more yellow. To match my chest, however, I cannot wear yellow toned foundations. Hope this helps some of you out. I saw you have a shade called warm porcelain in Bobbi Brown’s line. That shade is not available in the states. Her warm ivory is too yellow for me and the procelain is a drop too light, I was wondering if warm porcelain would work, if I could get my hands on it?

I use a sigma kabuki. Sprint water on brush remove excess with tissue.

I tried it on and it is lighter than their usual Porcelain colour. Just for info!

@Ladyjane: I think the “Linen” you’re referring to is from Face2, but Makeupforever also have a very pale shade in their Face & Body Foundation (#38), the formulation is very sheer though so might not suit everyone.

Nars have a shade called “Siberia” – perfectly named since it’s almost snow-white! I think it’s the Sheer Matte one… (quite spendy, just above the 40euro mark as far as I remember)

Does anyone else find that the really pale foundations are often very heavy? Went on a foundation hunt recently and came out with 8 samples but most were too thick for me; now I’m torn between Makeupforever and YSL, definitely the two most natural-looking of the lot.

I got a cute little bottle with 7 days worth of foundation at their counter in the Blackrock shopping centre without even asking. I was matched with the shade B20 but think I might need to go down a shade if I were to buy. Really nice texture and finish though.

I use the Estée Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover, it lasts for ages and I only use a tiny bit because it’s so pigmented. I get it in the shade ‘Very light’ (so pale they couldn’t be bothered to think of a nice sounding name for it!)
