Do you have a problem with beauty products with your skin tone?

Question

I'm as white as they get without being albino and it sucks cuz I have the hardest time finding foundation and other face make up to match my skin tone. And I cant use fake tan of any kind cuz it'll just turn out yellow on me. And bright lights make me glow, literally. I am so pale that when I was younger, my arms would reflect sunlight.

Answer

Yes. I have to mix foundations to get my skin tone. I have yet to find a "nude" lip color that doesn't look like my lips are just super ashy or I rubbed charcoal on them.

Answer

I have very fair skin, with pink/red undertones I think? Anyway, the lightest color in almost all makeup lines usually works for me.

Answer

I am a beige color, and it is super hard to find a shade for me. I always end up orange or pale looking. Lolz. But luckily my skin looks smooth enough without it so I fake it with some moisturizer.

Answer

Eh not really its just my lack of knowing exactly what matches my skin color and undertone so after about 6 years of wearing make up I FINALLY found the right shade 😂 but it's really annoying when you find a good shade then it oxidizes throughout the day and you go home and you're orange 😰

Answer

Yep, there's 9984828192 shades of white and 3 shades of "dark" like. Wtf. I just look like a fried white woman. Luckily I found LA girl and they match me perfectly.

Answer

I'm super white as well and I had the same problem. I've found the fit me products work well with my tone! I buy the second whitest one haha

Answer

Most foundations either burn like a mofo or they make me look dead.

Answer

In the summer people always shield their eyes when I step out into the sun. I'm translucent in the winter. I actually look sick a lot of the time. And yes I have this problem lol. Girls of all skin tones have it though. They should have a color match thing at the store like they do for paint lol.

Answer

I hear you girl! I'm very light myself, but too dark (most of the time) for some of the lighter foundation shades (it's actually more like I'm too pink/red than dark). Kat Von D (sold at Sephora) makes a foundation that's suuuuuper light, covers everything (cystic acne & scars) & lasts all day with primer.

Answer

I'm a very pale beige. I have weird skin. I inherited that bright white paleness while having olive undertones along with some tan.. So finding a makeup that doesn't make me look orange or green is hard to find. After spending way too much I finally found Annabelle skin true and the second palest one works. They only have 4 shades of makeup and oddly it was the one I picked out without a cosmetologists help. I'm done searching. It's a hard search but you will eventually find something. Just keep searching. Maybe get color matched by several people.. Although I always got a different suggestion from each person
