Dolce & Gabbana
Dolce & Gabbana The luxury beauty brand makes some gorgeous (albeit pricy) foundations, but when I think of all the money I've wasted on less expensive foundations that weren't quite the right shade, these are totally worth skipping a couple weeks of Starbucks runs. Ivory 50 in Perfect Finish Powder Foundation, $60, is the lightest powder I have ever seen that isn't a translucent setting powder. Apply it wet for a velvety, semi-full-coverage finish. Buff it in dry and it offers medium coverage, and is relatively neutral (but skews slightly pink). Classic 60 and Natural 70 are also mega-pale shades that would work for pink and yellow undertones, respectively.

Ivory 50 isn't available in the brand's liquid formulas, but Classic 60, Bisque 75 (for yellow undertones) and Beige 78 (for more neutral tones) are buildable, medium coverage options in the brand's Perfect Matte, $67 and Perfect Luminous Liquid Foundation, $60.
