Anonymous asked: Hi maya! I hope you don't mind me asking, but what foundation do you use, if any? I have very pale skin like you, and I can never find a foundation light enough (or that doesn't oxidize completely orange). I never notice that problem in any of the ootd/fotd pictures I see of you, though, so I thought I would ask. Thank you! uwu

ahhhh yes i know exactly what you are talking about! and you are not going to like my answer

see my problem is not only being pale, but having super pink-based skin, so all the products that are light enough are too yellow.

the ONLY foundation that i have found that matches me 100% is Make Up Forever’s lightest HD foundation! unfortunately, it is $40, but in my opinion it is well worth it because it blends seamlessly with my skin (and i don’t use applicators, just my fingers) and it doesn’t break me out. it also lasts for ages, but that might also be because i use it very sparingly (i don’t wear it every day and when i do use it, i rarely use it for full coverage - usually i just use it on trouble areas and then make sure that blends into my natural skin)

i also use a concealer from them. i found these products about two years ago and i have never gone back. i have tried to find other products but have always ended up returned the other stuff and returning to this. it’s just the only thing that matches my skin.

  1. fearsomebutfearful said: I’d also rec the true match stuff. the cool/neutral/warm system helps me out, and I use cool 1, alabaster.
