I've included liquid and powder foundations, all of which are absolutely brilliant (and not just cos they're available in the lightest shades imaginable!) and I can always reach for these safe in the knowledge that I wont end up with orange toned demarcation lines all round my jaw line
Bare Minerals Original in Fair C10
Diorskin Forever in 010
Maybelline Super Stay 24h in Light Beige 005
Lancome Teint Miracle in 01
Laura Geller Balance n Brighten in PorcelainObviously everyones skin tone is completely different so, where possible, it's always worth getting a sample before you buy but if you happen to be looking for a seriously pale foundation then these could be a good starting point :)

I have Balance n Brighten in Fair, because it was the lightest shade Apothica carried and blogger reviews and swatches made me think it'd be ok - but if I put on a lot, or try to use it wet as my foundation, it looks like I've been doing some bad fake-tan on my face :/ I need that Porcelain one!
Thanks for the suggestions! I don't think I have really pale skin, but I'm pretty lightskinned compared to your typical Asian skintones. I think I'd like to try the Diorskin foundation. I hear good reviews on it.
l'oreal have some pretty pale shades, especially infallible
Great post - thanks for thinking about us ghostys lol! I am a NC15 in MAC so very fair - I find Face Atelier's shade range is amazing for pale skin, you should check them out!

eRiN I started out with the fair option too! I got it in the "vanilla nudes" collection last year and it worked well during the summer when I had a bit of colour on my face but as soon as winter hit it was way too dark. I havent tried using it wet yet - but now you've mentioned it I'm gonna give it a shot ♥
Rinny I really cant say enough positive things about Diorskin. It's easily one of my all time favourites and although it's pricy it's totally worth it :)
Sarah I've been eyeing the infallible foundation every time I've been shopping recently so it's now officially on my shopping list. Looking forward to trying it xx
Stacie Gray I'm NC15 too! I only recently found out that Atelier do a "minus" foundation which is pure white and can be combined with other foundations to lighten them. Sounded fab to me so I went online immediately but it sold out so there's now a wait list :(
If it helps, Barry M do a pure white one as well for about a fiver - no idea if the quality is any good but might be a good one to mix with your 'too dark' foundations?
