Hi :). I used to have the exact same problems so I can 100% relate to you! Remember, in these make up stores, the lightening is made to flatter, so even if the foundation isn’t your colour, the lights will flatter to make it look okay until you are in the daylight! I use a number of different foundations depending on how I feel on the day. I use Illamasqua rich liquid foundation in RF120, which is really pale but this foundation is really heavy, so I wouldn’t advise that for you! I also use double wear by Estee Lauder in 1c1 Shell but again, a really heavy foundation. MAC have a number of foundations that might be good for your complexion. If you have yellow undertones in your skin, you would be a MAC NC - natural cool - for like blue/yellow undertones and the NW - natural warm - is for peachy pink undertones. I know when I go to MAC, I am a NC15 but considering I don’t know how pale you are it is hard to tell you a number. Have a little look on their website (remembering NC) and try figure out your colour shade! Hope this helps!
Can you recommend a good foundation? I have combination skin - gets reeeeally dry, it's quite pale but a yellowish tinge - not pink pale. I like coverage but don't want heavy 'obvious' coverage... I have gone from Rimmel to Maybelline to Max Factor to Clinique to Dior to Une to Benefit... some make up girls in Debenhams always seem to give me a darker shade than my skin, which is quite annoying... anyhoo, just curious as to which foundation you use - your skin looks flawless!
