It's well documented in a few places that I have a hellacious time finding foundation. I'm ridiculously pale with neutral undertones and this causes issues. Throw in the standard "this product didn't sell well so we discontinued it" that every foundation I've ever used experiences within two years of me finding it and... well, I panic when things get discontinued.
I figure that we can build a nice pile of swatches, tips, and suggestions for pale skin. Foundation, bronzers that don't make us look like Oompa Loompas, blush that doesn't look like we fell face-first into some strawberries, the usual.
I need to swatch the new, reformulated Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick in Alabaster - it's so much more neutral than the old formulation and actually works decently for me!
