It's really hard for me to find a foundation that matches my pale skin, but it must be even harder for you. If you have a few foundations that don't match you well, definitely try to mix them to create the perfect shade for you. :) Lynn, I feel your pain!

I think that powder foundation would be great for contouring :) I wouldn't know what to fo if I came across a foundation that's too light for me. It only happened once and that shade was white. Not pinkish white, just white, so you can see how pale I am. Thanks for the tip, I'm glad to hear it works well for you. :) Vonvon, thanks.

I don't normally have problem with foundation shades but I found 1 compact powder foundation in my stash which is a shade too dark for my skin. Might use it for contouring. I do encounter foundation which is lighter than my skin tone. In that case, I apply Guerlain Meteorites all over my face to give me that pink glow. .-= Vonvon´s last blog ..<a href="http://vonvonsinterests.blogspot.com/2010/02/urban-decay-haul-gwp-from-sephoraion.html" rel="nofollow">Urban Decay Haul & GWP From Sephora@ION</a> =-.

Apparently quite a few makeup artists do that to sculpt and highlight the face while applying foundation. You should write a tutorial about that. :) Dao, that’s a technique I haven’t tried yet but I heard the results are great.
