Hi ladies,
Right, I'm nearing my wits' end trying to find something which works, so I'm hoping some of you lot could throw suggestions my way. I have *very* pale yellow/olive toned skin, brown eyes, black hair blah blah blah. I'm coming to the last of my MAC Face and Body liquid foundation in its lightest shade and need a decent replacement.
Nothing too heavy, because on my skin, it looks mega obvious. Coverage is the main issue here; I'm lucky with my skin in that it's not oily or dry and I don't get spots, but I do have GINORMOUS hereditary eye-bags, which I need to disguise somewhat. I've been unable to find a foundation that gives the right amount of coverage, it's either too much or not enough. I bought some of ELF cosmetics tinted moisturiser in its lightest shade and it's way too stodgy and dark.
Liquid would be preferred. Also, preferred would be under £15.
Halp.

Re: Foundation suggestions for pale yellow/olive skin
Cor, £15? You're not asking for much! I know a lot of the ladies like Loreal Infallible. I used to use it but it wasn't the right tone. Saying that, Sleek had a decent one and it comes in loads of shades. I used that too but again, it wasn't the right tone.

Re: Foundation suggestions for pale yellow/olive skin
Have you asked in your local Lush about the Colour Suppliments? There is a gorgeus pale yellow one, and pale pink one I use the lightest shades and they are £7.50.
Failing that I highly recommend Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse which I think is £5

If you're willing to give powder mineral foundation a go, Meow Cosmetics (http://www.meowcosmetics.com/Foundation.htm have over 84 shades of foundation, and samples can be bought for USD $1 each! They come in light coverage, medium and heavy (the latter covers all my pigmentation). They also have matching undereye concealer.
