    I want to cover blemishes but I'm very pale, and most brands like Rimmel, Maybelline, Bourjois etc are too dark for me. I've tried a lot of their palest shades and none of them work.

    Can anyone please recommend a concealer with good coverage that caters to very pale skinned ladies?

    Can you tell us a little more, like what shade foundation you are?
    I'm unnaturally pale and I use rimmel hide the blemish, in 001, or MAC full coverage foundation in NC15 as concealer too.

    It'll also depend on what undertones you have got going on too. Yellow or pink?

    Agreed..depends on your undertones; but I find Bobbi brown products excellent and I have very pale skin.

    My skin suffers from redness. Foundation shade is the lightest shade in Laura Mercier. The lightest shade in Clinique is just a tad too dark for me.

    I's be the same, and have dark undereye circles so use the Bobbi Brown concealer in porcelain. It comes in a lighter shade too I think but it's great

    I use a Gosh concealer, I can't remember exactly the name (possibly Touch Up) but it's a liquid concealer and the lightest shade (001) is perfect for me, best I've used in years. I'm very pale and I find it's really good for blemishes and it's great at covering how red (scarlet) I get on nights out. Cost me about 7 pounds sterling.

    I've also used Lancome maquicomplet (sp?) in the past and found it great also.

    The one cosmetic item I would bring with me to a desert island is my Tesco concealer. Best concealer ever. I'm pale & use the palest one they have and I love it. Can be hard to get because not every Tesco does make up, but last few times I got it in either Dundrum or Carlow.

    I might give the Benefit Erase Paste a go some time, but for now I and my wallet are very happy with this concealer. It's not a liquid by the way, it's kind of more a paste. Here's a review I just found:

    I have a Gosh one too and it's great. €1.25 to boot! I'm pale, I'd normally take the palest shade of foundation of any brand, but I think most Irish girls are about the same as me.
