I have very pale skin, mild Rosacia, and a cool skin tone.  I don't usually wear makeup, and everything I have tried makes me look like an Oompa-loompa.  Do you ladies have any sugestions?

    You have to look for a foundation with cool pink under tones . On the ivory cool tones or the porcelain colors. Not yellow beiges, more toward pinky pale beiges. Make sure it matches your neck and blends in . Always go same color of neck and add some color enhancing finishing powder if u feel too pale. Always remember keep in the cool tones with that also. A pretty sheer pink finishing powder . Go to a dept store, Bobbi brown had a nice range of colors. Good luck! P.S. I'm a makeup artist

    L'ancome teint idole.  I'm very fair as well, with green/blue undertones and some red acne scarring.  It covers very well and never turns orange on me.  It comes in several very fair shades as well (most lines seem to have one very fair shade and assume that's good enough)

    <div>I know it sounds funny but the answer to your prayers is going to be a green primer.  That will neutralize the redness.  Once you put the primer on you apply the foundation over it.  Urban Decay or Bodyography has a good primer I would recommend.  You can purchase it from your local Ulta or Sephora store.  Hope this helps.  </div><div>
