The Best Foundations for Really, Really Fair Skin (Like, Glow in the Dark)Does your skin tone fall somewhere between "ghost" and "paper?" Our resident pale-faced expert found the best foundation brands for you |
CoverFX All of CoverFX's shades are divided into three categories: "P" for pink, "G" for golden and "N" for neutral and they come in a wide range of shades, which makes finding one that suits pale skin a breeze. The categories are also broken down into ranges. If you're super fair you'll probably fall in the 10 or 20 range. Total Cover Cream Foundation SPF 30, $42, has the best variety in fair shades: N0 and P10, N10 and G10.
In the 10 range, only the neutral shade is available in both the PowderFX Mineral Powder Foundation, $35 and the Natural Finish Oil Free Foundation, $40. For the pink and golden undertones, it jumps to the 20 range, which is still surprisingly light -- although they look too dark in the package, when applied they stay very fair.
Best of all: These foundations are free of gluten, mineral oil, fragrance, parabens and talc.
