How it works for me with my extremely pink undertones, I have no idea. Keep us posted when you resume the search! I'd dearly love to find a full coverage foundation in my shade...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-82256450755433133052015-01-18T07:11:11.310-08:002015-01-18T07:11:11.310-08:00Oh look, I repeated what I said in a comment above...Oh look, I repeated what I said in a comment above.

I was able to swatch the L'Oreal Lumi foundation in the lightest shade when I was visiting my family (hooray for testers in Canadian drugstores), and it looks like it might be close too. That's actually how I chose the No. 7 one - I was able to swatch it in a Boots in London, and at the end of that August, it was a decent match. Not anymore! I wish we still had Max Factor here, though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075243940219740263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-28107662441633836902015-01-12T08:11:29.674-08:002015-01-12T08:11:29.674-08:00Before my graduation I did extensive research into...Before my graduation I did extensive research into foundations for extremely pale skin as everything I tried was too dark. I ended up buying Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Perfectly Nude in Alabaster. It's fantastic for light-medium coverage and I think the undertones are fairly neutral. I know it's not that cheap but it was worth it to have a perfect match.<br /><br />A couple of drugstore products you could try are Max Factor Facefinity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Foundation or Rimmel Match Perfection.<br /><br />I also came across the Makeup Forever HD foundation, Bobbi Brown luminous moisturising foundation, Nicola Roberts Dainty Doll and Lily Lolo. <br /><br />Hope that helps!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-18646451156961607852015-01-01T08:46:01.865-08:002015-01-01T08:46:01.865-08:00I thought the Bourjois looked good from a distance...I thought the Bourjois looked good from a distance, but it actually seemed to match worse than the Tarte, so I think the coverage was just too heavy or something. I was surprised that when I swatched them the Tarte looked yellower. I would have expected the opposite.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075243940219740263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-61812756533953299022014-12-31T15:50:44.156-08:002014-12-31T15:50:44.156-08:00I've tried some of these - I'm pale and co...I've tried some of these - I'm pale and cool and would definitely pick the Revlon foundation out of this lineup. I actually liked the formula of the Bourjois foundation, but it looked weird as hell on me. Definitely better for warmer skintones.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09721289655425362151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-2891039269400316082014-12-27T20:07:06.096-08:002014-12-27T20:07:06.096-08:00Thanks!

I swatched the L'Oreal Lumi one today (hooray for Canadian drugstore testers) in porcelain/ivory - the lightest shade - and it looked like it might work too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075243940219740263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-71990406262487413782014-12-27T19:16:27.593-08:002014-12-27T19:16:27.593-08:00Judging by your swatches, we've got fairly sim...Judging by your swatches, we've got fairly similar undertones/foundation issues.<br />I like the fitme stick, but I've got fairly oily skin. <br />I've found that MUFE in 117 has been my best match, and the formula is easy to work with. On a drugstore level, Revlon Nearly Naked foundation is less full coverage and way easier to work with than colorstay, i've had some luck with the Vanilla shade.Alexnoreply@blogger.com
