Pale Princess Make-Up & Beauty

I remember when I was around 12-13 years old, I had moderate acne and I was looking at make up for the first time. My mother would say to me "No, you shouldn't get the palest shade as it will make you look like a vampire, you want to add a bit of colour to your face"... I'm not sure why I would ever have listened to her as she's never worn foundation in her life and she has tanned skin. My go to foundation was Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse (wasn't it everyone's?) and I went for the second or third lightest shade (of orange) and I walked around with a beautiful orange line and a face ten times darker than my neck.. Fast forward 9 years! I now have a whole array of products that are super helpful for anyone who has pale skin and I could not live without them! These will probably not be useful for anyone who has darker than porcelain skin, but maybe you could use some of them for a vampire or ghost costume at Halloween..  1. Manic Panic Virgin Dreamto...

So you might have found a foundation to match your paper white skin, but now, you need to find a powder that not only sets your foundation, but actually matches your skin tone and that can be just as difficult. In the same way many brands have 'ivory' or 'porcelain' foundations which resemble a bad spray tan, many powders can be far too dark or even worse - orange. So here are some of my favourite face powders for pale princesses. 1. Collection Pressed Powder - Ivory 18 - £1.99      - This face powder is my absolute favourite for many reasons. I've got through at least 10 of these in the past few years and always have at least 3 as back ups! If Collection ever discontinue this powder, I will be heartbroken. You get 15g of product in the pan (which is a lot more than most other powders!) and it has a clear plastic lid which twists onto the base. The shade Ivory is the perfect shade for my porcelain skin - it is actually a neutral ivory. The packaging is sturdy eno...

Finding a pale foundation which is actually pale enough for porcelain skin is not an easy task! So many of these brands call their shades 'porcelain' or 'ivory' when actually they are a dark shade of tangerine when applied to your face. Here are some of the best and worst foundations that I've tried for pale skin which is combination (oily in the T-Zone) and acne prone. The reviews below are all based on my personal opinion and my own experiences. Everyone's skin is different and we all prefer different types of foundation so what works for me might not work for you and what doesn't work for me, might work for you. But I hope you find the swatches and reviews below helpful! 1. Revlon Colorstay for Combination / Oily Skin (Shade 110 Ivory) RRP: £12.99        - This is one of my favourite drugstore foundations. It dries almost matte but once set with any powder, it stays put all day long! There's no transfer from the foundation at all and this...
