I'm very, very pale and all their shades are too dark for my skin :frown:

mix stargazer white foundation into the lightest foundation you can find if it's too dark, works a charm.

Wow, just looked it up now and it's so cheap! I currently mix white Illamasqua Rich Liquid in with normal foundation, but it's 4 times the cost of the stargazer stuff. Will definitely check it out xx

I'm NW20 and I'm N African. Many people mistake me for being white, because apparently 'I'm too white to be African' :s-smilie:

However, I sometimes find NW20 too pink for me, can I just switch to NC20, does it work like that?

I haven't had much luck with the ladies at the Mac counter, I've been several times and had different matches suggested to me all from NW15 all the way down to NC30!

I'm usually NW40 and I am english but very olive skinned to the point people ALWAYS ask if i'm hispanic, especially when i have a tan.

That being said i prefer how Illamasqua's foundation matches compared to MAC - suits my tone better.

I got negged for this? really?

Edit: Since this post, i've decided to pale out a little, and now I wear an NW30 in MAC.

NC15, their lightest one :biggrin:

Eastern European. Not sure if I'm more pink or yellow though! I'd say I'm neutral ;D

Im south asian. I have a darker neck (nc42-43) than my face (nc40-41) so buy shades in nc42 to nc44 in summer and it matches me fine without being orange. Whenever i go to get matched, they keep telling me to go for nc30-35 although they are waaaaay too light! I was also once matched to mac mineralize natural in medium plus which was like flour on my skin.
