    Just found out Non Fiction has been discontinued:( It was the only foundation I've found that was pale enough for my skin tone and not yellowy. Does anyone know of a similar type? I also find I'm allergic to a lot the cheaper foundations so that rules a lot of them out.

    Feel your pain sister! I'm a pale gal too! I've never used Non Fiction, so can't compare texture to others, but I've tried a good few pale ones.
    http://www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com/templates/products/spp/index.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY22761&PRODUCT_ID=PROD1263 Costs about €38 from Brown Thomas, but it is really lovely. There's a few very pale shades so you're bound to find one suitable.

    http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT158&PRODUCT_ID=393 Mac Face and Body is a light weight foundation, so you'll need a good quality concealer underneath. I really liked this as it can be used all over your body and I often extended my face foundation on to my neck, shoulders and cleavage.

    http://www.maybelline.co.uk/PRODUCTS/Face/FOUNDATION/Dream_Satin_Liquid.aspx WAY cheaper at under €10! But I've recently started using this and adore it. It's so smooth on my skin and the Nude shade is perfect on me.

    If you go to a beauty counter they'll best advise you on their products. You'll most likely be looking for a pink based formula rather than a yellow.

    Thank you! I'll check out the Maybelline and Bobbi Brown ones tomorrow. None of the Mac shades suit me!

    Yeah the Mac ones are just a shade too dark for me for everyday wear. I usually keep the Face and Body for summer, more "glowy" and a better option than fake tan for the rest of me!

    Clinique do quite a pale shade. I like their Superbalanced and also the Superfit. They are about €26-27 each so not the dearest either.

    L'Oreal True Match is great, I wear N1 which is their palest Neutral shade, they also have C1 and W1 (cool and warm).
