Good foundation/makeup base for very pale, cool skin?

[jedimaster]

I have been using Prescriptive custom blend, after my shade (extra cool light, a "zero" in the blue-red family) was discountinued. But custom blend is SO expensive. Any suggestions for something very light with cool or neutral undertones?

I'm really pale to, I use MAC foundation, they do some really light (pale) ones... I believe dita von teese might use MAC as well...

good luck finding a new foundation!!

I hear ya...when Lancome's maqui libre in delicate porcelain got discontinued I about cried.

I'm using L'Oreal true match in alabaster, or Lancome's color ideal...alternating. Both are OK but I'm not completely happy. I might try MAC however...never tried their foundations!

i am pale as can be and i use clinique perfectly real make up in shade 01. I used to use maybelline wonderfinish in porcelain ivory but it got discontinued.. that make up looked and matched the best.. oh well. I also like mary kay Full or Medium Coverage foundation in Ivory 100

I'm using L'Oreal true match in alabaster

that was a little too dark for me...

Thanks for these leads. I am going to check out the clinique perfectly real 01 tomorrow - if this works, its almost too good to be true - its a fraction of the price of the prescriptives custom blend, plus much easier to get.
