The quest for pale foundation - part 1: Maybelline Pure Make-up

Image
Okay, so here is post #1 of my pale foundation series! I apologize in advance for the lack of photos, but my camera just doesn't get the colours right no matter what I do. :( To show you my skin colour, here's a reference picture: I was wearing Missha's Perfect Cover BB Cream in 21 here, mixed with sun screen to make it brighter - glad they introduced # 13 now! You can see I am not white pale, but quite pale with neutral undertones, which makes an extra challenge as many foundations tend to be yellow or pink. :(   Maybelline Pure Make-up in Porcelain Ivory (Light 1) I've used this foundation some years ago, but stopped because the colour match wasn't so great - for some reason, they never sell all shades in Germany, and finding a really pale foundation here is probably harder than the search for the infamous holy grail. Recently, I've had the idea of searching the internet for it, though, and discovered the lightest shade for about 7$ at ebay. Of course...

Majoromantica!

It's not yet out on Cosme.net, but some blogs (e.g. Rouge Deluxe) are already showing preview pictures of Majoromantica F! <3 I love Majoromantica so much I ordered a back-up this week although my first bottle is still almost full. (Stress-relief shopping. ^^;) I hope the new version will be as good as the "old" one - and that the normal one won't get discontinued! Update: I got the Majoromantica F, and it stinks. I don't know what went wrong there, but it smells nothing like the original, and instead really strong and very cheap. :(
