I'm super pale, too. My skin isn't that oily but Hard Candy Concealer is cheap and a godsend. Kat Von D's lock-it foundation is pretty good and stays on forever.

I'm similarly pasty (but with a ton of freckles, ugh)
I have average to dry skin, so if you're oilier or drier keep this in mind
Illamasqua skin base foundation in 02 is really good, but it took me a while to get the application right. I find it works best to build up thin layers as needed rather than painting on, and it also works as a concealer because of this. Pat on with fingers and buff in with a brush if needed.
Revlon colorstay for normal/dry skin in ivory is way cheaper and still good, I use it with their photoready primer and apply with a beauty blender. The lack of a pump is annoying but I use a q tip or similar to take what I need without risking spillages.

Korean makeup. They tend to be pretty pale, so it works out. I like missha bb creams, but there's a lot of good brands out there.

Hard Candy's Glamoflauge heavy duty concealer in ultra light is actually slightly too light for me and I'm a goddamn ghost. Some people complain about the oily texture of it though, it's fine for me.

I just use a moisturizer plus anti redness serum as a base then buff in translucent powder. It's the only thing I've found that stays put and doesn't turn orange on me, and it works surprisingly well in evening out redness.

you sound just like me skin-wise o:

One that I found yesterday was the L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream in Fair. Initially it looks white before application, but it's one of those ones that has the little color beads in it that do shit once you start applying it. It matches perfectly on my skin. I'll let you guys know if it starts to turn orange throughout the day or not, if you're curious.

Me! I have been wearing MAC waterproof nourishing in NC15 and I like it. I have a real techniques beauty blender that I really like, cheaper than the real thing. The other one I use is Maybelline Fit Me in the lightest shade they have. It's a little too light but I'm not going to trust the next one over. MAC Studio Fix Powder in N3 is a good powder foundation if I need to go fast. I use a NARS concealer in the lightest shade, I think it's called chantilly. I adore fair skin and spent several years working my way up to my fairness.

When I actually wore foundation, I used Covergirl Clean and added a few drops of Illamasqua's white foundation into it.

I don't need or want to wear foundation anymore and that shit is expensive, so now, I just use Rimmel London's hide the blemish concealer in the "neutralizer" shade, which is super pale and I'm pretty sure it's intended to be used under makeup to make yourself paler and even skintone out. But when I use this concealer and blend it out, using Sephora's finishing powder, I get compliments on my complexion being even. Would recommend. The concealer is like $5 too, score.

I hate that I can never find sheer 15 denier tights in an actual pale shade.

The lightest you can go is always marked as "natural" and even those make me look like I have a light tan on my legs.

>Kat Von D's lock-it foundation
I bought this in the lightest shade and it's extremely white. Probably too light for me. I hate the actual foundation though. It's cakey and doesn't help with oil at all. I have extremely oily skin. I prefer the Revlon colorstay and it's way cheaper. Still sad I wasted money on that.

Really? I live around a lot of Chinese and Koreans. They have light brown skin and aren't even close to as pale as OP pic. Have you seen an actual Korean in real life or just through brightened pictures with filters?

>>164854

Uh yeah but South Korean women and many men are known for bleaching the fuck out of their skin and their foundations are even lighter.

I'm a ghosthette myself and all I use are Korean foundations, and the quality of most is spectacular compared to Western garbage. Skincare and beauty in the SK is actually considered leagues ahead of the West in quality and composition.

Ballet tights are more rosy than beige so they end up look paler and less tanned. Another option is Pretty Polly or Pamela Mann, who go fairly pale with their tights.

I was struggling for makeup ever since they stopped selling Dainty Doll.

Lily Lolo does mineral powder and concealer that's easy to build and it covers all my freckles easily and lasts for ages.

Collection 2000 does a good pale setting powder, as does Seventeen.

I use all Korean skincare, but never thought to try their foundations or compacts. I've tried several BB in the past that have been too dark so I think I just went on that experience. Any good ones you can suggest? I need something that is not going to move.

I can't say anything about their compacts, if you're talking about powder foundation that is, because I recently realised how aging the matte look is so I haven't used any for over a year now.
Right now what's in is the soft, dewy glow becauae of the youthful appearance it gives you.
Dewy, moisturising foundation moves with your skin when you express yourself, but I found that the matte stuff, especially powder, settled into every crease and whilst looked okay when not moving your face, was extremely visible when smiling or otherwise.

At first it was hard for me to find a balance between looking dewy or outright greasy, but once I began an actual skincare routine (which, embarrassingly, was previously nonexistent), I found that the problem went away completely, a long with the seborrheic dermatitis I'd suffered with for 6 years.

Right now I'm using Tony Moly Petite Cotton that looks like this.
It's a good, basic bb cream that leaves a soft, moisturey finish and it has good, even coverage without being cakey.
It's probably not the palest BB cream avaliable but I have pink undertones and this is more sandy which suits me very well.

I also highly recommended Missha's stuff although they're pricey.

I love Missha and don't mind going expensive. The compacts I'm talking about are the moist foundation with the sponge. You push into the sponge with your applicator and press it onto your face. Those are huge in Korea. BB is not enough coverage for me. When I use my Studio Fix powder I finish it with a dewy fixing spray. Plus I use highlighter and strobe cream. I'd love to be able to find something dewy without making me look like I'm super oily. I guess I'll just have to order a compact and pray it's a good color for me.

Super pale, dry skin (thanks, medication) here. Can only find pale colors that make me look yellow. I need things with a lot of coverage because I use a lot of concealer to cover dark undereyes, so bb cream is out.

I love revlon cover stay because its palest tone (can't think of its name atm) has a pink undertone and matches my skin perfectly. Also love that it comes in a combo skin formula. It's my favorite foundation and I've used mid to high end foundations and never had such a good match until I used revlon.

You need to use a primer before anything else, or your skin will suck all the moisture out of the foundation. I'm pale dry cool-toned, I use one of Kat Von D's foundations cuz it actually matches. Still having issues with foundation drying like cracked mud on my skin, but at least it's an actual match to start from.

Illamasqua Skin Base in 02 is my holy grail foundation, I really recommend it for full coverage.

I use Missha Signature Real Complete BB Cream (in shade 13 I believe?) for lighter coverage days, but I much prefer Illamasqua as I don't even need to use a concealer with it.
