Barry M Foundation Creme No.1 - Lighten your foundations

If you know me or have read some of my previous posts you will know I am VERY pale.

However, when I am colour matched for foundations they always get it wrong but I can't tell until I get out in natural light and have already fallen for their sales tricks!

So when I was in Superdrug and saw this Barry M Creme Foundation 1 which is a white foundation I breathed a sigh of relief.

I snapped it up so quick as I have been on the look out for a white foundation for a long time. I decided to first try it mixing it with the badly matched Estee Lauder Double Wear in the shade Bone. As you can see below, this is way too dark for my skin tone.

I just put a small amount of the white on the back of my hand and rather a lot of the Double Wear (by accident!) and mixed it together with a foundation brush.

This then resulted in LOTS of foundation on my hand, enough to cover my face for 3 days I think (nice waste of product there Clare!). However, the colour was perfect.

This made me like the Double Wear (and the money spent on it!) that bit more as it didn't make me look like an orange. I think that I will be trying this with a few MAC foundations I own too to try and use them up. I also wont be frightened to pick up cheaper brands now which never do a shade light enough. 

I am now thinking that I should actually buy a few more of these in case they decided to stop making it or something!

Do you have a problem being matched for foundations too?
