In search of full coverage pale foundation !

I can never find a foundation pale enough. I've used kat Von ds In the lightest shade but it's too thick and it just isn't good for my skin texture. And I used makeup forever in their lightest shade which I love but it's light coverage. I need something fuller to cover up all my face insecurities such as discoloration and broken veins. I always get my skin shade tested but everything else oxidizes on me and turns me orange. My skin is dry everywhere except my nose chin and forehead ! Picture reference to my paleness

I would try the Fenty foundations. you should make sure your skin is well hydrated before hand, and apply it in small sections as the dry down time is 30 seconds on it. The Estee Lauder Double Wear goes pretty light aswell, and sits really well on combo skin. If you're really concerned about your dry patches, try using an exfoliant like an ABH/AHA that is more of a peel.

the new Fenty collection has 40 shades. there was a recent article released by an albino lady, she said she was impressed. I want to try Fenty, but I'm sort of new at this make up gig.

The fenty foundation is great, yet is it very matte. Not sure if it will work for you if you have dry skin.

Re: In search of full coverage pale foundation !

As someone with extremely porcelain skin, I have never found a full coverage foundation that is light enough for me. Marc Jacobs Remarcable in Ivory Light is the closest I've found to matching me, and it's still a shade or so too dark. I either have to blend it down my neck or mix in a white mixer. Ivory Light has pink undertones, and the next shade up Ivory has yellow undertones. I really like the finish of this foundation, definitely feels much lighter on the face and less cakey than the Kat Von D. It also has more coverage than the Kat Von D, and a tiny bit goes a long way. Another option would be Dermacol Make Up Cover in the shade 208 (that's the lightest). I've never personally tried it, but it gets really good reviews and has extremely good coverage (thataylaa has a great review on it). It would still be too dark for the extremely porcelain skin, but that and the Marc Jacobs are the lightest ones I know of.

I know this might not be high end but it totally worked for my sister. Maybelline's dry to dewy foundation.When we went to look we actually went down thinking it would be to dark for her but it ended up being super light. Oh and btw their was still 5 shades under her. She's super light and can never find her shade
