Yesterday the store restocked with the ivory NYX "Stay Matte But Not Flat" (not "matt" as I previously misspelled it) and I bought a tube, even though I really hate the oily way it feels (in spite of it being oil-free) - I couldn't take another day of wearing the Gosh. Such a relief to have my face match my neck again!<br />I'm going to try an oil-absorbing primer with the NYX, but I'm really keen to mix a white foundation with the Gosh, because I'd hate to throw it out - it was not expensive, but the texture is nice - not at all oily, even after hours of wear.<br />I will let you know how I get on with white, and thanks a million!Ratladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724228795272533813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409226436357281488.post-55081362967797070712014-08-14T21:41:10.631+01:002014-08-14T21:41:10.631+01:00I have recently done a post about mixing foundatio...I have recently done a post about mixing foundations with a white foundation which may be of some use to you. I'm not quite sure about the cruelty free aspect however quite a few brands do white foundations such as Mac, Illamasqua and Stargazer. You only need the tiniest drop to cancel out any orange tones so it might be worth a try. <br /><br />Also, if you can stop by an Illamasqua counter their liquid foundation in shade 02 is super pale, almost white so that might be worth a try. Let me know how you get on! :) Pale Skin Make Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825843028936236398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409226436357281488.post-84670048359956983722014-08-14T14:51:46.766+01:002014-08-14T14:51:46.766+01:00I couldn't agree more, with every single thing...I couldn't agree more, with every single thing you wrote! This has been the bane of my life for over 30 years. The few foundations I have found that were the right shade for me have been discontinued.<br />The most recent one I found which is almost perfect (I'm 99% happy with the shade, but the texture is too sticky for my liking) is NYX "Matt But Not Flat" in ivory - but the only store in my town that sells it has been sold out for 5 weeks, and I got desperate, so I bought Gosh foundation in porcelain, after seeing a review on YouTube where the reviewer said it is very pale - well, it's not pale enough for me! It has a brownish, slightly orange look - even with lots of NYX powder foundation on top of it!.(The NYX powder foundation in ivory IS nice and pale, but it doesn't give good coverage at all.)<br />I'm in despair right now. My choice is further limited by my refusal to use brands that are not cruelty-free.<br />Nothing makes me feel uglier than wearing pink or orange or brown foundation.Ratladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724228795272533813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409226436357281488.post-32384574801073572282014-03-26T09:23:41.021+00:002014-03-26T09:23:41.021+00:00Thanks for your comment Victoria! :) I hope to in...Thanks for your comment Victoria! :) I hope to inspire others that pale is beautiful too! As for foundations, I recently did a post about mixing foundations to get your exact shade, although more needs to be done to bring out paler shades in the first place.

In regards to this article about foundation -OMG I know what you mean! Covergirl and Maybelline about 7 years ago stocked a shade of foundation pale enough for myself and my sister but guess what? they don't stock the shades anymore :-(. Here in Australia there is a big emphasis on being tanned and spray tanning machines, lotions etc are really popular due to skin cancer risks. I used to fake tan but only for a glow - I was still the palest even with a fake tan. Since having kids I don't put in that effort anymore but I am much more comfortable in my pale skin (well almost, my legs look a little translucent in shorts - but one application of a tanning moisturiser which is very light just takes the edge off). I am happy without tanning my face or arms.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03961416243996506019noreply@blogger.com
