I was looking for a pale foundation, because in continental Europe apparently all people are tan, so brands such as dior or guerlain don't even send to sephora lightest shades. So i suffer incredibly<br /><br />However i see here some lancome and YSL Babies that may work for me.

The consistency is much better and I find it's a nice full covearge air brushed effect. That said, I'm super pale but Illamasqua has too much pink it it for me. I'm more of a super pale neutral colour. Have you tried NARS foundations as well? The Nars Sheer Glow in Monte Blanc and Siberia are super light. Monte Blanc is perfect for me, and the finish is lovely :) That and Bobbi Brown who are amazing too... their shade selections for pale is wonderful :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-61429994660594737352013-02-27T21:58:44.636+00:002013-02-27T21:58:44.636+00:00that would be great, thanks xthat would be great, thanks xPink Haired Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516054022997327474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-53756939646647452802013-02-27T21:57:53.144+00:002013-02-27T21:57:53.144+00:00that would be brilliant, thanks xthat would be brilliant, thanks xPink Haired Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516054022997327474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-31688776390059052792013-02-27T06:13:22.532+00:002013-02-27T06:13:22.532+00:00I wrote down your foundations that you swatched he...I wrote down your foundations that you swatched here, so if I go to Sephora any time soon I will swatch my MUFE next to a few of your foundations to give you a reference point for the color. And I do the same thing with my Skin Base that you mentioned doing with the RF. I really can't put it aside completely because it's so great around the eyes but if I wear a full face of it, I have to keep up with the powder to quench it.Jupiterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04672184582513128549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-65557612197015178242013-02-26T22:19:43.703+00:002013-02-26T22:19:43.703+00:00I'm the same with the Illamasqua one!

I would definitely recommend the YSL, it doesn't feel like a foundation, more like moisturiser as it's so hydrating. It's like a drink for the skin! If you ever have Boots or Debenhams beauty points I'd recommend you give it a try.

It seems to create a build-up if there is ANY dead skin on the face. I like my Make Up For Ever mat velvet+ better, which I think is 15, Alabaster. It's a pretty good match for me, but I don't think I have any blue undertone.

It's a bit less heavy coverage than Double Wear, and you can wear a sheer layer or build it up to full coverage.

The Illamasqua one is sooo pale. The first time I put it on I thought I looked scary, but it was because it was the first time in my life I've had a foundation the same colour as my skin! I have tons of freckles and also quite rosy cheeks so it took me a long time to work out I'm actually really pale. No more orange line of doom on my jawline! I've just bought 2 Lily Lolo mineral foundations I'll be trying out soon. xxJust me, Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863490605328463689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-15516755262684529062013-02-25T22:25:50.559+00:002013-02-25T22:25:50.559+00:00I've done my own little post on pale foundatio...I've done my own little post on pale foundations if you'd like to compare :)<br /><br />http://willowsworld92.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/foundation-comparison-pics.htmlWillow92https://www.blogger.com/profile/09260484519499398341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-3520343182078765472013-02-25T22:19:18.885+00:002013-02-25T22:19:18.885+00:00ilamasqua looks a super good shade! i recently got...ilamasqua looks a super good shade! i recently got Nars Siberia matte foundation and its gorgeous!<br />http://accioabigail.blogspot.comAbigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13559646491705915529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329357512064084091.post-63480103271798809422013-02-25T21:56:14.125+00:002013-02-25T21:56:14.125+00:00These look amazing!
