>tons of redness to cover up

>dry skin

Warning: novel ahead... We're practically skin-twins! I have distinct pink tones, but aside from that, my biggest concerns with base products are:

  • Will it cover ALL THIS REDNESS?

  • Will it match?

  • Can it wrangle with my dryness without emphasizing my pores/looking generally greasy?

    My best match yet (across the board- coverage, color, finish, etc.) is Graftobian HD Glamour Creme Foundation in "Silk Sprite". Can't rave enough about it! I believe this was originally brought out as part of one of their palettes- more specifically, as a new palette ("Ultra Lites") featuring the lightest shades they offer in cool(C), neutral(N), and warm(W) undertones. As you are exceptionally yellow, (W) Ivory would probably suit you best. If you find that this is still too dark, however (as this is the "darkest" of their "Ultra Lite" range), a similar product (and the lightest, yellowest, foundation I've ever seen!) is Mehron's Celebre HD Cream Foundation in "Eurasia Ivory". It practically looks like butter! This blog shows it swatched (final photo).

    In regards to working with these, there's definitely a "learning curve" (kind of like Dipbrow- you'll look "off" until you finally nail it)! I found applying it with brushes created texture; the product is so thick that applying with fingertips left visible prints on my face. I apply with a damp sponge, conceal my undereyes afterward (using a mix of Glamoflauge in "Ultra Light" and KVDs Whiteout), douse myself in UD's All-Nighter spray, and then apply Physician's Formula's Mineral Correcting Powder in "Translucent". This powder blurs imperfections in an imperceptible way- don't be freaked out by the color(s) (kind of looks like the milk in a bowl of Fruity Pebbles).

    I wish you the best of luck! We all know how bad that lobster face/pumpkin mask look is.

    **UD's cruelty free stance is a bit "up in the air" at the moment, but all of the other products are cruelty free (Graftobian is manufactured in the USA, as well, while Mehron is on PETA's "does not test on animals" list). :) If that's relevant to you.

Our skin tones are super similar! I'm about NW13/NW15 and Colour Me Beautiful matched me as clear, cool and deep (so bright/clear Winter then). It not often I meet someone online who loves seasonal colour analysis and who's similar skin colouring as myself.

Do you wear MAC Frankly Scarlet often? It's so scary in the pan! Any tips for it? I've recently bought MAC Breezy now that Autumn is almost here. I've too many pink blushes so this is adventurous for me. What's your favour lipsticks? MAC Show Orchid is my current everyday favourite.

OP I don't have very many cream products but absolutely love Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush in Flushed! It's been discontinued but Amazon still sell it. Also Bourjois Blush Exclusif is a lovely delicate pink colour. Try using a stippling brush to apply cream blushes, it was a game changer for me. As for cream highlighter, I quite like Clinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight in Hefty Highlight but it was gift-with-purchase. Also heard good things about MAC Strobe Cream but try asking for a sample to take home. Would also recommend MAC Lightscapade or Soap & Glory Glow All Out Luminizing Face Powder even though they're not creams.

Edit: spelling

Here and here are great eyebrow tutorials I really like. You said you have really sparse natural brows- have you ever tried an at-home tint kit? They're really affordable, the one I use I get on Amazon here. It helps me use less eyebrow makeup, and it dyes the lighter hairs next to my brows so I have more to work with when I pluck and shape mine. :)


I'm still learning contour too- I spotted your blending thing because it's an issue I have with my own makeup. If I make my contour too dark, it's super hard to blend and is just stripes on my face. Too light and it just looks like I wiped dirt on myself haha. You're doing fantastic, I look forward to seeing future looks from you! Do you have an insta?

Might be the tone on my phone but your skin looks just like mine. You might be olive. I can’t link because i’m on mobile, but I think there’s a r/olivemua or something like that. Good luck, finding pale olive formulations is next to impossible. The loreal true match in N1-2 works okay for me.

Try Missha's #13. I mix #21 and #13 when I'm slightly more pink in the summer, otherwise just #13 alone is great. The formula is easy to mix, as well as incredibly forgiving to smearing it on your face like a savage when you're in a rush (like me) or using a beauty blender to build coverage (also me).

I used it as a sunscreen stand-in on a vacation once and never went back. There's a great pearly Missha primer too.

It looks like you want something shimmer-free and cool-toned, and maybe drugstore brand so you can experiment a bit before settling into a new forever-brand. Trying to make sure these are available in uk!

Maybe:

Maybelline Fit Me! Blush Light Peach

Maybelline Face Studio Master in Coral Fever/Peach Pop/Rosewood

Loreal blush peach paradise enchanted Just Curious <--nevermind looks like not in uk

[Laval Powder Blusher - Peach Haze] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Laval-Powder-Blusher-Peach-Haze/dp/B003BVZHVC) People are snobby about Laval bc cheap but they're great for experimenting. This one might be too dark for your purpose but cheap enough to play around with. The girl who posted a pic in the reviews shows it applied quite light and really pretty!

Applied

Clarins Blush Prodige Illuminating Blush in Rose wood/soft peach (palette-y)

u/Celladoore · 3 pointsr/PaleMUA

I use Neutrogena Pure and Free Liquid. I have very sensitive, dry skin with rosacea and it doesn't irritate me at all. It blends pretty easy and has minimal white caste, and works amazing as a primer because it leaves a nice matte finish.

u/MsYutai · 1 pointr/PaleMUA

FYI If Tarte Shape Tape in Fair isn't brightening on you you're probably like an NW5 or something hehe, cuz that concealer is pretty darn light!

Some other concealers to look into would be the Amazing Cosmetics Concealer, and the MUFE Full Coverage Concealer. Another idea is to use a white powder to brighten that area after applying concealer like this Stargazer Powder

u/godcalledinsick · 1 pointr/PaleMUA

I have combination skin that's pale with pink undertones too. I switched from using a heavy foundation to a high coverage BB cream with amazing results. I just make sure to moisturize the dry areas before putting it on. Right now I'm using Missha BB cream in shade #13. It's really cheap and has lasted a long time- so cheap that even if it doesn't work for you, you're not out that much. Good luck!

u/AngryHedgie · 1 pointr/PaleMUA

Buying things like that on faith is not ideal, can appreciate that!

I do lighten the Mizon, but do not colour mix. It is more neutral than neutral-yellow, though. [This]
(https://www.amazon.com/MIZON-Snail-Repair-Blemish-Ounce/dp/B00AFOGDE8/ref=pd_sim_194_6?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00AFOGDE8&pd_rd_r=5RYVEJBBF5B9MKPB9B89&pd_rd_w=1JprH&pd_rd_wg=pJzMQ&psc=1&refRID=5RYVEJBBF5B9MKPB9B89) has a reviewer on it with the comparison swatches of the Missha, Mizon, and Klairs that finally convinced me to try the Mizon. Seems like Amazon fluctuates between 10-15$ for 1.69 oz. The Klairs looked a bit darker and too yellow, but have not tried it to compare. Missha 13 and Mizon looked quite close in all but undertone.

Hi, I have Misssha's perfect cover bb cream in no. 13 :) Some of my other shade matches are: NW10 & NARS Chantilly.

I buy off Amazon when I need to replace it. I've found it to lean very pink on me (though I am very pink), but I've heard others say it is very neutral on them.

I have normal/oily skin and I find it doesn't dry me out, I actually glow a little as the day wears on (AKA I get a little oily). I feel it's more medium+ coverage when applied with a beauty blender.

​

Let me know if you have any other questions.

u/flowstone · 2 pointsr/PaleMUA

Dry-skinned red-toned vampire here... Although this BB Creme goes on dark, it blends out to be really light with skinlike coverage on me. Also, I just throw it on my (dry!) beauty blender sponge and apply it since it's so dang cheap. Over a few days I notice it breaks me out but honestly I've never found any full-face ANYTHING (except moisturizer) that doesn't. Maybe check it out?

u/kelseysmiff · 4 pointsr/PaleMUA

Cover fx click stick in N10!! Here it is swatched with W1.

Aside from the other stick foundations mentioned here, there are actually a few stage makeup brands that have super light stick foundations. Off the top of my head, I know of Inglot stick foundation in 101 and Mehron creamblend stick in eurasia ivory (hella hella pale so maybe best as concealer/highlight?)

u/corruptcake · 1 pointr/PaleMUA

I highly highly recommend trying Rosehip Oil. I have super pale, dry skin that I never knew what to do with, especially in the winter, until I tried this stuff. I put it on before applying makeup, I mix a tiny drop in with my foundation, and I put some on my face before bed. I've gotten a little addicted because my face finally feels normal!



This is the specific kind I've been using:
ACURE Seriously Glowing Facial Serum

u/hybridvenice · 5 pointsr/PaleMUA

Mineral Veil Primer has both titanium dioxide and zinc dioxide. I suggest you find a primer without those ingredients.

Sunscreen is a very important part of skincare! In a few decades, your skin will thank you! I actually did some sunscreen research a few days ago and found 2 that I liked: Shiseido Senka Mineral Water and Shiseido Senka Anti Aging.

The Anti Aging sunscreen offers better protection but the first is almost as good and has no parabens. I haven't tried either but have placed an order. From what I've researched, both sunscreens don't seem to cause flashback issues.

I’ve been struggling with blackheads/redness/combo for awhile now and the biggest miracle worker I’ve found is Thayer’s Witch Hazel Toner w/ Rose Petals. I use it right after I wash my face in the morning, let it dry and then apply a light moisturizer.

They have a selection of toners (rose, cucumber, etc.) and I swear it’s been magical- no, I haven’t been paid lol. Hope this helps!!

This bb cream is a favorite on this sub. There have been a ton of other threads about bb creams if you wanted do a quick search for more info.

u/kmv09460 · 2 pointsr/PaleMUA

it's actually an American sunscreen, it just has Australian in the name for some reason! (Made in the USA) I got it on Amazon if you're interested.

u/neslynn · 1 pointr/PaleMUA

Does anyone else used NYX blush in taupe for contour? It's cheap, very light yet buildable, and it takes forever to run out. Mine is only like, half gone and I don't even remember the last time I bought it.
