THE PALE SKIN BASE BASICS

Good news pale ladies, times have changed and you dont have to chose between nothing and orange anymore. Unfortunately, most high street brands still don't provide a whole lot of foundation choice for pale skin so the bad news is you will probably need to spend money on a pricey brand, but that's ok because a flawless base is an investment in your life, right?  

Illamasqua (£21.50), Bobbi Brown (£29) and Dainty Doll (£22) all do brilliant liquid foundations and come in various pale shades. Lily Lolo does a great mineral foundation that comes in five light and 2 very pale colours (£12.50). 

Tinted moisturisers are another option but avoid brands that just have one shade which will be too dark. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser (£33) comes in multi shades and are amazing for minimal coverage, Dermalogica Sheer Tint in Light (£20) is also another favourite of mine.

Gorgeous ladies embracing their paleness

A  highlighting concealer is great for dark circles under the eye, covering red marks and thread veins without making you look yellow/orange. YSL Touche Eclat is fantastic and now comes in 7 shades, of which 3 are for pale skin (£25).

Chanel Natural Finish Loose Powder (£31.50) & Corn Silk Original Satin Loose Powder (£8.16) are my go to finishing powders but Mac Prep & Prime Transparent Finishing Powder (£17.50) is fantastic if you cant find a shade light enough as it has no colour at all. All three feel so lovely on the skin.

 

Finally, don't forget to use an SPF, fair skin is very prone to sun damage so make sure you use a moisturiser or base with a high SPF no matter what age you are.
