The fairly light has yellow undertones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920964 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 21:47:15 +0000 Pancakes 920964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also use Laura Mercier, same as @Lioneyes. I've been using it for about 5 years, and I've been really happy with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920871 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 21:01:41 +0000 LemonLong 920871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Origins Stay Tuned in Linen. I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920867 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 20:56:15 +0000 lioneyes 920867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have fair skin with pink undertones and (dark undereye circles!). i use laura mercier tinted moisturizer in nude and her secret camo concealer in #3 (it's 2 colors you can blend, based on how light or dark you are that day.) stila also has good colors for fair skin (as did prescriptives, which you can still buy online) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920705 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 19:28:04 +0000 allison 920705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been using Almay Smart Shade liquid makeup in the lightest color. It's good because it does that color match thing so you don't have to get the exact right color of your skin. I don't know how it works, but it does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920635 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 18:57:24 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 920635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to use MakeUp Forever's lightest shade but that got to be too dark. Bobbi Brown is now my current favorite. I'm not even the lightest one in that line so I still have a few options left if I somehow manage to get more pale. </p> <p>When I go in Sephora, I always find the palest sales girl I can find to help me. The pale girls seem to know more than the others who just simply pick the lightest foundation of a particular brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920397 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 16:50:55 +0000 loveisstrange 920397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsScallop: thanks! :) ive also tried the Covergirl True Blend foundations and I felt like they were too pink on my yellow skin, so they may work for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920388 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 16:46:57 +0000 MrsScallop 920388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I have some options to look into now. Woohoo!</p> <p>@MrsH: I have tried bare minerals before and bought the lightest starter pack and that was still too yellow. Do you know what the name of the color you use is?</p> <p>@zippylef: thanks! Your make up skills are amazing, by the way :)</p> <p>@thismustbetheplace: I had the same problem! The make up I bought for my engagement photos was from sephora with some help was the lightest she could find but still is slightly yellow. If I use it lightly it works well enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920140 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:17:12 +0000 MsLipGloss 920140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: They would never have suggested that to Dita Von Teese! *augh* I have read that (one of) her foundation choices is L'Oreal True Match in N1. Maybe that will be light enough? </p> [attach=2207/13/mpqlop.454x600.Dita.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920107 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:06:33 +0000 yoursilverlining 920107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: I didn't have much luck at Sephora either - every one they tried on me was too dark! (Using only the lightest shades). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920098 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:02:50 +0000 thismustbetheplace 920098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the lightest tone of bare minerals. I went into Sephora the other day looking for a liquid foundation to try, and I'm so pale they couldn't find anything to match my skin. The rep even recommended that I get a tan! :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920057 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:52:20 +0000 alphagam84 920057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to Sephora and they color matched me with some Make Up Forever stuff and I LOVE it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920028 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:42:50 +0000 annetossy 920028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recommend going to sephora and getting color matched! I walked out with a bunch of different samples to try out..was able to find my perfect match! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-920007 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:39:28 +0000 wahine08 920007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the opposite of pale but I used to be a make up artist and I loved using Laura Mercier (Silk Creme Foundation) or Stila on my pale clients =) They stay a true rose base and no yellowing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-919963 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:25:13 +0000 babynumber1 919963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Revlon color stay. I love it. I use the second to lightest color and it stays all day. I use Loreal mineral finish over it. </p> <p>I used to use bare minerals or the Loreal mineral but it just didn't last all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-919924 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:14:27 +0000 mrskc 919924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought Josie Maran tinted moisturizer in the lightest shade and no yellow. I also use Korres mineral powder. You can always go to sephora and have someone help you find the right shade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-919854 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 14:00:25 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 919854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MakeUp Forever. I had someone from Sephora help me find the right shade! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-919848 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:59:36 +0000 loveisstrange 919848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Revlon Colorstay mostly. I use translucent powder to set my t-zone, it's Covergirl, I think? I do run a little olive-y though.</p> <p>I've been wanting to try Bare Minerals though. I think I'd be "Fairly Light" in their shades. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-919838 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:58:13 +0000 Charm54 919838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so pale! Mac foundation is too yellow for me. The best I've found for my skin tone is Clinique Superbalanced Foundation </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-919837 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:58:09 +0000 yoursilverlining 919837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have pink undertones (hope I am remembering right!) and like you, foundations often look yellow on me. I'm also about as pale as Casper the ghost, so many brands lightest shade is too dark.</p> <p>I like Revlon colorstay foundation, and also Chanel liquid foundation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-919829 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:56:24 +0000 rachiecakes 919829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love BareEscentuals. I feel like the powder foundation, the blush, the bronzer and all the "glow" powders are so easy to blend to a perfect shade of rosy or sunkissed - and you can easily control how much coverage you need.<br /> I use their products with MAC concealer daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-919818 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:55:07 +0000 MrsH 919818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the lightest bare minerals color. No yellow tones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pale-ladies-what-make-up-do-you-use#post-919811 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:53:49 +0000 MrsScallop 919811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The recent thread on mommy make up routines made me realize I really need some new make up. The last time I bought anything was about 2.5 years ago for my engagement pictures. I have always hated shopping for make up (especially foundation, concealers, powders, etc) because I am quite pale with almost no yellow undertones. Almost everything I have ever bought looks yellow on me. </p> <p>Any suggestions? I really need to go shopping! </p>
