I always have problems finding foundations as my skin is so white pale, i got a foundation for 25 quid it was terrible then the others i wanted didnt have my shade, eventually i got one from dior the lighest shade but it is still too dark on me, how can i lighten it?
can i use baby powder?
or would a cheap makeup poweder work?
thanks

I actually never thought of using baby powder but that might just work I may actually try that. ty

When i have this problem during the winter, i apply a blob of colour to the top of my hand then mix in some moisturiser.It considerably lightens it and u can keep adding more colour and mix it around to your own specifications.Also get your daily moisturiser on at the same time BONUS.
If you wanted you could try apply a bit of talcum power on a big brush and loosly applied after your foundation, reduces shine ect too

you could try mixing it with a moisturiser. or perhaps using a tinted moisturiser. putting a loose powder over the top of foundation may help too.

Try Cover Girl, the ivory shade foundation and powder. The powder will automatically lighten and blend the foundation in. I have very light skin also and it works for me. Walmart usually has this shade all the time. Sometimes I can find the powder and the foundation together in a pack on sale there or at the Dollar General store. I wouldn't use baby powder because the smell may be too strong to handle.

I glow in the dark because my skin is so white. I find it difficult to find foundation thats light enough. I add a bit of moisturiser. Mix it thoroughly with small amount of foundation the use it. Does two jobs at once. Thanks big sis for teaching me this!
