As someone with pale skin all year round the term 'English Rose' is often brought up. Whenever I go to buy a new face product such as concealer or foundation I always veer towards the palest shade that they have on offer. Of course when I was younger I initially went for what was on offer on the highstreet but I am yet to find a product that is exactly on point for my skin, they are always slightly too yellow. Over the past year or so I have been branching out and have found that high end brands offer a much more realistic and true to skin colour for skin types like myself. My two favourites are Bobbi Brown and NARS. I really dislike wearing heavy coverage foundations on a day to day basis. I honestly can't tell you the last time that I wore one. I much prefer something with a lighter coverage.My two favourites that I have found so far which are perfect matches for my skintone are the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation in 0 Porcelain and the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser in Terre Neuve. And surprise surprise they are both the lightest shades on offer!
As for concealer, the same concept applies. Offerings from the high street are all slightly on the orange side, but the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Concealer in 01 Light and the NARS Pure Radiant Creamy Concealer in Chantilly are both excellent matches for those of us destined to have ever pale skin. I also find that the blue tones under my eyes can appear more present than on other skin tones so the Bobbi Brown Corrector in Extra Light Bisque has been a blessing in disguise, something that I have worn every single day for the past 6 months.
I have grown to love being a pale skinned girl and have accepted the fact that I will never, ever have a tan. For someone who hates lying in direct sun that is probably a given anyway. I feel like it suits me and it is part of who I am.
