I know what you mean. When i was looking for a foundation, they were all too orange or yello, i have a very pale complexion. I then went to Clarins and they although they didnt have a tinted moisturiser light enough - she suggested a foundation. Its brilliant its really light and really easy to apply. However it cost me £26 but it is worth it, and you only need a small amount -pea sized, so its cheaper in the long run! It is called 'True radiance founddation' (3.5)
Try it, its great !

Im Very Pale And Have The Same Problems, I Use YSL Perfect Touch Radiant Foundation, I Have The Number 3 In It Which Is Very Pale And Matches My Skin Tone, It Lasts Quite A Long Time And The Assistant Should Help You Find The Right One For Your Skin, I Think Its Around £30, But Definatly Well Worth It :)

Hey, I'm also really pale and it sounds like i have similar skin to you.
In Selfridges there's a new brand called Illamasqua, their foundations are amazing and have really good coverage and they are also very light. They also have some really pale colours. The pictures on their website www.illamasqua.com don't do any justice but I'm a CF 135, it sounds dark, but it's not. I also have the Cream Foundation, but they do have powder foundation and liquid. It's 19.57 and comes with a sponge applicator (but i use a foundation brush). You can also purchase Illamasqua on www.asos.com (it's 19.50 on the website) ... I hope this helped.

Hi,
I had the same problem a couple of years ago, i have very pale pinkish skin.
I recommend bobbi brown foundations in their lightest colour alabaster.
I use Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation which has light-medium coverage and leaves a radiant dewy finish. On days i need less coverage i use Bobbi Brown tinted moisturising balm which i think is a must have, it evens out your skin tone very well and has a dewy finish.
For slightly cheaper foundations MAC are very good they have a whole range of colours and for very pale pinkish skin i recommend the colour NW15. Some MAC foundations are highly pigmented so if you dont have alot of spots i'd opt for a light foundation such as MAC face and Body foundation (£23) as it is more sheer than the others but does have coverage.
I hope the info has helped :) x
