Foundation help!!!?

I have simi fair skin, and every time I get a foundation, no matter what brand, the lightest makes me look too washed out, and the second lightest gives me the dreaded make-up line and kinda makes me look orangeish! Any recomendations??

Foundation help!!!?
when you go to the store use their testers and the best way to find out what your foundation color is to apply the tester on your lower jawline and another one right above it. Why your jawline is because you want the color closest to your neckline so you don't look like you're too washed out or orange. If oranegish, to dark so try another color below it. If washed out, too light so try another color above it. Keep trying until the color covers up and closest to your neck color.
Reply:I'm in the same boat -- I'm between the two lightest shades that I've ever seen offered. I finally got a good match with Mabelline pure makeup.





Or, try just using a cover stick if needed for blemishes and then a loose powder over all. Loose powders tend to blend best without needing to match.





Then again, you may think you need full foundation but have such beautiful skin that you can get away without! Get your friends' opinions.
Reply:I would mix some together!! I sometimes have the same problem. When you use the testers in the shop, try blending them together %26amp; see if that helps.
Reply:makeup stands in the mall will find your color and put it on you to see if it works before you buy so you don't have to worry if it'll be the right color. if that doesn't work use a bronzer powder to add color
Reply:I used to have this problem all the time. I was always between shades. To fix this problem, mix the two foundation shades together, and that should be perfect for your skin tone. don't forget to change your foundation in the summer if you tan!
Reply:Yes I have the same problem, I have 2 foundations and put the lighter on my face, then the 2nd lightest in certain areas like t-zone, chin forehead and nose so not to look washed out. And then always use blush or you will look like a ghost!
Reply:Mary Kay...they have nice shades...not orange at all.
Reply:The best thing you can do is go to a department store, Sephora, Ulta, wherever you want your makeup from and ask someone there to help you find your shade in any brand foundation. They will also help you learn how to put it on properly.
Reply:try the maybeline one its 50% water so the color matches a little better. get the one closest to your skin color and then you can either use a bronzer or just get a foundation brush and blend the make up line all the way till it dissapeares
