Beauty Q & Acosmetics
I'm looking for a foundation that will give me good coverage, but I have very fair skin. I have tried the lightest colours available in most brands but none seem to suit. Is there a brand that comes in really light shades? Please help - I'm desperate!

I know where you are coming from, this tends to be a common problem amongst people with fair skin. But not to worry, there are a few things still available to you.

Rather than using a foundation, try a light concealer on any imperfections like redness around the nose, spots or dark circles under the eyes. You don't have to use foundation to achieve a flawless finish, instead try a translucent loose powder over the concealer (powders come in very light shades) and with a soft powder brush, dust over your face. Use a loose matt powder like Lancôme Mat Finish Shine-Control Sheer Loose Powder down the centre of your face (t-zone) and then a luminous powder across the cheekbones. You could also prime your face with MAC Strobe Cream to help even out the skin tone while adding moisture.
