I am very, very pale. I have a cool pink undertone, and many shades are too yellow or dark for me. I'm looking for a skin tint or anything light coverage for daily wear that comes in very light shades. I'm currently using Milk Makeup's Sunshine skin tint in Fair for reference. It's serviceable, but not a great match, especially during winter (it is labeled as neutral which might be too warm). Any suggestions?

Hi! As a fellow very pale person with cool pink undertones, I completely relate to your struggle of always looking like an orange!

If you're looking for more of a matte-natural finish, the Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint in Shade 1 is perfect for you! The shade is one of the lightest on the market for a skin tint, and the silicones and oil-absorbing properties of the formula are perfect for oily skin types. You can also use a product like Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Multipurpose Illuminator Starglow (sunglow doesn't work for our skin tone) to give it more of a glow.

ROSE INC Skin Enhance Non-Comedogenic Skin Tint Serum Foundation 10 is a very innovative product that uses micro-encapsulated pigments suspended in water. It is one of the most gimmicky-looking products that's actually a breakthrough, as its cool drink of water feel is perfect for foundation haters. It's one of the most lightweight you can find, and it also leaves a dewy-natural finish that's perfect for all skin types, especially dry skin. It's a dupe for Chanel's Water-Fresh Tint, and the shade is also much lighter and cooler-toned.

Tower 28 Beauty SunnyDays SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen Foundation 05 Fairfax is ideal if you're looking to benefit your skin while ironically getting the most coverage you can out of a skin tint. This mineral SPF 30 with a natural finish is also accepted by the National Eczema Association (as all of Tower28's products are), providing peace of mind if you are eczema-prone, acne-prone, or just have a sensitive skin type. Be sure to try the shade in person to make sure it's suitable for you as I've never actually tested the shade match.

Saie Slip Tint – Lightweight Tinted Moisturizer with Mineral Zinc SPF 35 and Hyaluronic Acid One is another mineral sunscreen option that is much more dewy and therefore perfect for dry skin types. However, you should steer clear of this emollient formula if you have oily skin or have to order online, as I've never tried this shade.

Lastly, Givenchy Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Glow Foundation or Givenchy Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Matte Foundation are light coverage and fit for a bougie taste. Shade N80, the fairest shade, or Shade C105, which is fair and cool, would likely work for you.

(You already mentioned ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation Rendezvous ST1 .)

I hope these recommendations help to shed some light on skin tints for pale people and I wish you all the best in finding your perfect match either from this list or elsewhere!
