If you've been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that I have super fair skin.
Like Casper the Friendly Ghost fair.
I don't mind it -- I avoid the sun and self-tanners like the plague on purpose -- but it is often a problem when it comes to finding foundation (or even concealer) shades.
I can't tell you how many times I've purchased the lightest shade in a brand's foundation color range only to find that it's too dark.
A million?
A billion?
Well, yeah, probably not that much but enough that it's seriously frustrating.
There are foundation mixers on the market, of course, which usually come in white and other correcting shades, but I've never had much luck with them.
Several higher end brands like MAC and FACE atelier have white foundations, but they're all over $30, and while I freely spend money on makeup all the time, I resent the idea of having to pay that much for a product that I'm just using to make another product work for me.
I've tried more affordable white foundations too, like Manic Panic's Dreamtone Foundation, but I've had issues with the consistency of those and how they make the foundation I'm trying to lighten break down in a strange way.
Enter the NYX Pro Foundation Mixer in White.
