I get asked on an almost daily basis which foundations and concealers are the best for pale skin tones, and this series is going to explore all different types of  products from varying brands and at all price levels which will hopefully help you to make a decision on which foundation and concealer is right for you! 

In universal skin tone terms.. I struggle to find a product that suits me. I'm on the hunt for a product that will be the perfect fit for My Pale Skin. 

Product: L'oreal Paris True Match Touch Magique Concealer - Ivory Beige

Price: £8.19

Packaging:  The Concealer has a built in brush applicator, with a twist bottom that brings the product up through the brush. It has a pretty secure lid that clicks shut.

Coverage: I'd say that the product gives a medium coverage which is build-able.

Colour:  There are six shades in the range with Ivory Beige being the lightest cool toned product. It applies fairly yellow on the skin as it's designed to be used as a 'brightening' concealer which can mask and brighten up dark circles.

Finish:  I found the finish to be dewy. It applies evenly, without looking 'cakey'.

Final Verdict:  I wasn't expecting a whole lot with this L'oreal concealer as i'm so used to being disappointed by drugstore offerings shade wise. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised by this offering. I mea like i'm really loving this concealer at the moment. I'm wearing it every day!  It applies extremely easily, blends seamlessly and masks dark circles. The ivory beige is a light yellow shade that is perfect for cooler toned skin tones. I'm super happy to say that the L'oreal Paris True Match Touch Magique Concealer has PASSED the pale test (on my skin) and has well and truly made it's way into my make up bag.


As Always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this concealer or what you'd like me to try next, let me know in the comments.

It's official, the berry lip is the must have shade this Autumn, and after my little Lipstick Haul on Monday, I wanted to show you that you don't have to break the bank to keep up with the current make up 'trends' especially if you have pale skin like me and are slightly afraid of colour. 

I'm much more prone to splashing out on 10 budget products for fun than spending £40 on one full priced one and that's likely due to my hoarding nature - one lipstick is just not enough for me as sometimes I want to buy all of the things and of course without spending a fortune. If that's case for you then brands such as Make Up Revolution, MUA cosmetics and Collection are perfect for those instances.

The Rebel With A Cause Lipstick has a satin finish, although it is on the more slippery side of satin, which means that my advice on this shade is to go for 2 layers, ensuring that you blot in between to make enhance longevity. 

Whether you're looking for a starter berry lip, are a keen bargain hunter or are just looking for a new shade to try out. for £1.00 you can't go wrong with Rebel With A Cause and I have a feeling It'll be on my lips quite often this autumn.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the berry lip trend! Let me know in the comments...

How Learning To Love My Pale Skin Made me Happy.

Friday, 5 September 2014

pale skin, before and after, fake tan, love, my pale skin, pale skin blog,

Over the past few years I've been on a roller coaster journey of learning to love and feel comfortable in my own skin and I admit, it hasn't always been easy... and sometimes I feel like I'm a walking ghost.

The thing about pale skin, is that is is often loathed by many and loved by few. Here are a few examples of the type of negative tweets that you see just by searching the words 'pale skin' on twitter...





It breaks my heart and makes me feel sad reading those tweets, not only because I used to think and feel the same way, but because society has this image of the perfect woman ingrained into our minds, and she certainly doesn't appear to have pale skin...

Gone are the days when I used to worry about reaching that ideal image, 'fitting in' and not looking pale, smothering myself in fake tanners and caking my skin in foundation and powder in shades that are nowhere near natural, and should never have made their way onto my face.

A few years ago, my skin tone used to rule my life. Before going somewhere I had to make sure I'd put my fake tan on the day before, had to make sure I had a dark enough foundation, had to avoid white clothes, white sheets, white anything... and I had to look like everyone else... i'm sure it's no surprise that eventually I started having panic attacks before going out with my girlfriends.

 And it didn't just end there, i'd be paranoid about my skin being blotchy, getting rained on or if i'd exfoliated enough to stop the blotchiness... it was a never ending circle, and that doesn't even include the other options of tanning beds or sunbathing. As my Grandmother had skin cancer few years ago, (she luckily made a good recovery) the thought of possibly self inflicting skin cancer on myself by using tanning beds and sunbathing scares me.

I can't remember when I stopped using fake tanners, but I remember the weeks afterwards. I remember worrying less, and not minding if I didn't look like a bronzed goddess. I remember when I started to be okay with being pale, and that it didn't matter if my 'legs looked less toned' because they were pale.

Now, I haven't worn fake tan in well over a year, I wear either a moisturiser with SPF 30 or SPF 50 sunscreen depending on what i'm doing that day and I've thrown myself well into the world of experimenting with pale skin beauty and finding out which products really enhance my skin tone, instead of masking it.

I've banned myself from wearing fake tan, and to go with that - you will never see a fake tan review on My Pale Skin.

The moment I let go and work with my natural skin tone, and stopped trying to hide it was the moment I started to become happier. We choose clothes based on what makes us feel comfortable and happy, but unfortunately we can't chose our skin tone - without damaging it or artificially colouring it - so stop fighting it, it's okay to be the palest person in your friendship group, yes it's annoying not being able to easily find foundation in your shade, but when you find a style that works for - run with it.

Learning to love my skin colour brought me a level of confidence I didn't have before, and helped me on my road to becoming a better person, and y'know what - I don't ever have to worry about smelling like digestive biscuits again.

My Top 5 Nude Lip Products For Pale Skin

The Nude Lip is a firm favourite of mine and as Autumn draws in, I feel it's a colour i'll be reaching for more often. I love how easy nude lips are to wear and how versatile they really are. I've shopped my make up stash, and after an afternoon of swatching, I've settled on My Top 5 pale skin friendly nude lip products.

So, pushing the boundaries of the word 'nude' the Bourjois Roude Edition velvet in Nude-ist is more so on the pink/rose end of the nude spectrum, but it's scraped into the top 5. I like to wear this shade with a basic eye as it finishes a look perfectly without washing you out too much with a nude on nude look. I'm a massive fan of the wet lipstick application, and I recommend building it up in light layers for an eve coverage.

If you're hunting for that illusive Kylie Jenner lipstick, then look no further as this is the shade for you. Velvet Teddy is a gorgeous nude shade that is the lipstick of the moment and I've jumped on the bandwagon unashamedly. I'm just beginning to experiment with this shade and I love how it looks so far.

The Sexy Mother Pucker Lipgloss 'plumping' lip gloss range are almost like the Marmite of the make up world. Some people love the tingling and plumping sensation, while others can't stand it. I quite like the tingles as you wear this product and the colour pay off is great. However, be prepared for lipgloss hair whilst wearing this product, as they are on the sticky side. 

You may have previously seen this one in my Top 5 Everyday Lipsticks for Pale Skin. The Bourjois Shine Edition Nude lipstick is actually the perfect pale skin 'my lips but better' shade and to top it off this range has a great formula which is made up from 1/4 gloss! 

I love nude lipsticks and I love a bargain, so the MUA Cosmetics Lipstick in Totally Nude went straight into my basket as soon as I saw it in Superdrug. What I love about this shade as it's a really easy grab and go lipstick by itself, however when paired with a darker nude lipstick such as Velvet Teddy, you can create a beautiful Ombre Nude lip. It's £1.00 well spent and a must have for nude lipstick fans.

So these are my top 5 nude lipsticks from my stash. I'd love to hear which is your favourite, let me know in the comments and I'll try and create a look based on the most popular!

Back to School Make Up For Pale Skin!

Wednesday, 27 August 2014

back to school make up, pale skin, pale skin make up, my pale skin, pale skin blog, make up for pale skin, school make up,

With September just around the corner and school soon back in full force, I've had a few emails asking me about make up products which are Pale Skin friendly but pass the 'teacher test'. Many schools either have a strict no make up policy, or 'discreet make up only' rule, which vastly differs from when I was in school and used to turn up with thick black eyeliner on everyday... *cringe*.

I wanted to keep the products in this post as affordable as possible, not every pre-teen or teenage girl can afford a make up bag full of high end products, (I know I couldn't) I've tried my best to take that into consideration with these products. The goal with these products are to go as undetected as possible, and look as natural as possible to avoid that hellish experience of being given a packet of face wipes and told to take your make up off.

Foundation - Mac Prep & Prime BB Cream, Extra Light £24.00
Foundation is the product that most of us can't live without, but the most likely area a teacher will catch you out. I'm guilty as hell of wearing slightly too orange foundation whilst I was in High School (Dream Matte Mousse anyone?) so for a base product I recommend a tinted moisturizer or BB Cream such as the Mac Prep & Prime BB Cream in Extra Light. Now, I know I said I wanted to keep these products affordable, but I've yet to find a really good drugstore BB Cream, So if you're going to invest in a product - try this one, At £24.00 it's the most expensive item on the list, but a little goes a long way.

Concealer - Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer £22.00 or Collection Lasting Perfection £4.19
An option for all price ranges. I think both are great products, with the collection lasting perfection concealer being a bloggers favourite 'dupe' of the pricier Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. Both offer a medium - full coverage which can be built upon, and by teaming a light foundation with a higher coverage concealer, you'll have full coverage on the areas that need it, meaning you'll have a lighter finish.

Powder - Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - Translucent  £3.99
Powder can be a girls best friend, or your worst enemy if you go overboard. I like to use the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent to set my concealer and my T Zone. It's a staple product to my make up bag and so super affordable.

Blusher - MUA Cosmetics, Blush Perfection Cream Blusher - Dolly £2.00
If you haven't tried any of the MUA Cosmetics blushers before, then do it! For only £2.00 this is a great natural blusher than when applied with either your ring finger or a stippling brush will give you a gorgeous natural hue to your cheeks, without looking over the top.

Brows - Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil - £2.99
To enhance your natural brows, I'd recommend the Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil. When It comes to passing the teacher test, less is more here. I wouldn't advise going in with a full power brow, but some soft strokes and brushing through your brows will give you a natural full finish.

Eyeshadow - Make Up Revolution Salvation Palette, What you waiting for? - £6.00
What I love about the Make Up Revolution Salvation Palette is that it's affordable, has great wear-ability and you get so many shades for you money. My advice on this palette, is to keep it simple and matte with a dab of shimmer in the centre of your lids blended out for a wide awake look. 

Mascara - Collection Colour Lash Mascara - Brown  £1.99
I've chosen a Brown Mascara for this product list and one which doesn't clump, or give too much volume. The Collection Colour Lash Mascara is a bargain at £1.99, and as it's a brown product, will not be overly harsh on pale skin to give the make up game away.

Lips - Carmex Lip Balm - £2.69, Body Shop Born Lippy Tinted Lip Balm - £3.00 Clinique Chubby Stick - Free with Glamour Magazine (July) Or £17.00
For lips, I've included 3 different products, you have a basic moisturising lip balm, such as the Carmex Lip Balm, what I like about this product as it can almost pass as a clear lip gloss, but is a balm if you're questioned on it. The Body shop born lippy tinted lip balm is a low key lip balm but offers a smidgen of colour to even out the tone of your lips and keep them conditioned and finally i've included the Clinque chubby stick if you're feeling spendy and also as a reminder to check the free gifts that often come with magazines! Sometime's you can get pretty lucky.


I hope this post was useful and thanks so much to those who requested it. I hope it helps you prepare to head back to school! Are there any products you'd recommend to those heading back to school? Let me know in the comments!

My Top 5 Everyday Lipsticks for Pale Skin

I often get asked about my favourite lipsticks, which products I'm currently wearing and what products work for pale skin... If you're a long time reader of My Pale Skin then you'll know about my love nude and pink lipsticks, as they're part of my staple every day look.

I find myself constantly reaching for the same products and I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you the ones I've been obsessed with over the past few months.

I love this peachy coral shade and how it can lift and brighten a look in an instant. I've been wearing this shade so much over the summer and i'm almost convinced I can still make it work in the winter... I love how easy these are to apply and how effortlessly cool they look on.

This is the first NYX lipstick I ever purchased and It's my go to shade for when I need a make up look to carry me from day to night. I love this Rosy shade like to really go for a full matte look when wearing it. The NYX matte lipsticks have a great formula that apply really easily without tugging and don't feel overly drying on the lips either. This Tea Rose colour compliments pale skin so well. I love it.

Possibly the best nude lipstick i've tried in a long time. Bourjois have the Shine Edition Nude lipstick nailed. This shade is actually the perfect pale skin 'my lips but better' shade and to top it off this range has a great formula which is made up from 1/4 gloss! 

I randomly bought the B. Rich Intense Colour Lipstick quite a while back. It was my first and also only purchase so far from this brand. I love this natural peach shade. It has a beautiful satin finish and adds a touch of glamour and elegance to an every day look.

Now you might be wondering why I have two lipsticks which look remarkably similar in my top 5. I Have to say, that having never compared Mac Pink Plaid and NYX Tea Rose side by side before, I can't say I ever noticed. Mac Pink Plaid was the first Mac lipstick I ever purchased and I'm so in love with this shade. It's a slightly lighter shade than the Tea Rose, less deep and wears slightly more pink. If I had to choose just one lipstick for here on in - this would be it.

I love these shades, and If you have any recommendations for others based on these favourites - do let me know in the comments.  I'd love to hear which shade from my Top 5 is your favourite!

Bourjois Delice De Poudre Duo Review!

Monday, 28 July 2014






When I heard that Bourjois were relasing a Delice De Poudre Duo* I couldn't contain my excitement. I love that contouring is so mainstream now, as there are so many more products available on the high street at affordable prices. I've previosuly used the Delice De Poudre Bronzer, or Chocolate bronzer as I like to call it, for many years both as a contour and as a bronzer. 

On first swatch the bronzer seemed just like I remembered it. On the cusp of being slightly too warm for my skin tone, but light enough to be acceptable. In small doses, and with a light hand, the bronzer works on pale skin, but i'd treat it just as that- a bronzer . The thing about pale skin and contouring is that a lot of high street products don't tailor for are the 'grey tones'. Contouring is more about creating a shadow, rather than warmth, and after trying so many other fantastic products, I wouldn't go back to using this as a contour as it's just too orange for my liking. However, In terms of introducing some warmth, it works well!

If you watched my Dewy Summer Skin Tutorial then you may have seen that I'm currently using the Venus eyeshadow from my Naked Basics palette as a highlighter as it's working really nicely with my skin tone. However, I'm always keen to try new products and going back to one of my old loves was something I was looking forward to... especially with new edition of the highlighter all in one palette. 

However, that excitement seemed to be short lived with this palette. I swatched it on my arm, and nothing. Nada. I could barely see anything... and was like what? Have you ever been so let down that you just didn't know what to do with yourself? The problem with this highlighter, is that it's not very pigmented, and as a pale kid, one thing you need is a highlighter with a good colour payoff so it doesn't look caked on or camouflaged. The problem with this one, is that it's just not working for me. I have to run the brush over the product so many times to just get a natural glow, and that just doesn't cut it for me these days. 

I guess i'd use this Duo palette for the bronzer, or an emergency highlighter - but in terms of every day use... it's not the product for me.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this Delice De Poudre Duo Palette and if it's working for you! Let me know in the comments!

Get The Look: Simple, Striking, Summer Make Up!

summer make up flower crown pale skin blogger

summer make up flower crown pale skin

summer make up flower crown my pale skin

summer make up flower crown my pale skin

When the sun is shining and the weather is hot the last thing I want to do is put on my make up and head into the sun only to feel it all melt away from my face. The products I used in this look all seem to have a miraculous staying power and can withstand a heat wave, as well as deal with the oh so very British summer rain. As soon as it gets sunny, most girls I know are straight onto the bottle tan and bronzer, but if like me you're keeping your pale skin this summer, then this is a look for you! 

I picked up this flower crown in my recent Primark Haul and I'd been dying to try out a few ideas with it. I also had a few e.l.f cosmetics orange lipsticks in my 'to wear' pile, so thought it would be most fitting to pair them both together. When wearing a statement lip I like to team it with a simple eye to make sure it doesn't overpower me, especially during the daytime. With a few tweaks this look can easily be switched to glam evening summer party style!

If you want to try this look at home, here's the full product list of everything I used:

Face
Mac Studio Finish Concealer - NC15
Collection Lasting Finish Concealer - Fair (1)

Cheeks
Contour - NYX Taupe
Blush - Sleek Rose Gold

Eyes
 Naked Basics Palette
Collection 24hr Felt Liner
e.l.f Cosmetics Duo Mascara*

Eyebrows
Urban Decay Naked Basics - Naked 2 (used as brow powder)

Lips
e.l.f Cosmetics Moisturising Lipstick - Coral Cutie

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this look and if there's anything else you'd like to see me create, please do let me know in the comments xxx

Get the Look! Victoria's Secret - Candice Swanepoel Inspired Make Up!

Tuesday, 1 April 2014







If like me, you die a little bit each time you see a picture of one of the insanely perfect Victoria's Secret models, then this look is for you.

Candice Swanepoel is a South African model, and in my eyes one of the most beautiful women on the planet. I thought I'd give it a shot and try and recreate one of her looks as part of my 'Make up Match series'. I chose this look as the lilac wing gave a new fresh twist to one of my favourite staples - an elegant wing teamed with dewy skin.

Now I haven't made my eyes as Pink as Candice is wearing for the simple fact that, i'm not a massive fan of pink eye shadow with my pale skin tone and I wanted this to be a wearable look. I'm slowly learning to love pink eye shadow a little bit more, but i'm not completely sold just yet!

I've also gone in hard with a double contour. I used both a powder and cream contour for this to  try to recreate her bone structure.

Here's a list of everything I used to create this look! 

  • Primer - Benefit Porefessional
  • Foundation - Mac Studio Sculpt NC15
  • Concealer - Mac Studio Finish NC15
  • Powder - B. Cosmetics Pressed Powder Light/Medium
  • Contour -  Maybeline Fit Foundation 355 / NYX Taupe
  • Bronzer - Bourjois Paris Bronzer shade 52
  • Highlight Contour - Illamasqua Skin Base 01 White
  • Blush - Sleek Rose Gold*
  • Eyebrows - Sleek Eyebrow Palette Light / Urban Decay Naked Basics
  • Eyes - Elf 32 Shade Warm Palette
  • Eyeliner - Eeyko Skinny Eye Liner
  • Mascara - Bourjois Paris Volume Clubbing, Ultra Black
  • Eyelashes - Perfect Eyelashes by Agnes Dos Santos, 'Glam'
  • Lips -  B. Cosmetics - Dollhouse Lipstick / Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss (shade rubbed off - old )
  • Setting Spray - NYX Dewy Setting Spray
  • Hair Extensions - Dirty Looks - Paparazzi Blonde
  • Earrings - Alice's wonders*

I would love to hear your thoughts! Let me know what you think in the comments...xx

Throwback Thursday #1 - Vamp Edition

Thursday, 27 February 2014

em Ford, meddy ford, blogger, model, my pale skin, mypaleskinblog, glamour model, pale skin, my pale skin, youtube, blogger



Okay, so I admit it... i'm not going through the depths of the archives here... i'm only travelling back a few weeks...

I often look back at old photos I've taken of my make up to critique myself, and study previous looks to try and work out what worked, and what didn't.

There's something about this look I created that I like, I like how it's so out of the ordinary for me, but I would never have the balls to wear this out in public as it's so full on. I don't think I would have the confidence to pull it off, but sometimes it's a little bit lovely to walk around your house feeling like a rockstar. This day, was certainly a rockstar day.

Searching for the perfect pair of false eyelashes. #1

Friday, 21 February 2014



False eyelashes, katie perry oh honey

I love false lashes. Love them. They can transform a look in seconds and add that extra bit of oomph right where you need it. I find it hard to chose the right lashes that don't swamp my hooded eyes, and make me look quite frankly ridiculous. There are so so many brands of lashes that are popping up constantly! All different types, styles and even materials.

 I find it hard to get the right lashes for my face with my pale skin, bleach blonde hair and blue eyes.  

I'm after a pair of HG lashes that don't break the bank & don't look like slugs on my face. 

Today i'm trying out the Katie Perry, Oh Honey! Lashes.

£5.95




I chose these because they had a full natural look without appearing too heavy and dark for my face. 



I applied the lashes with the glue supplied in the box. My first thought after putting them on was.. ermm... maybe I should have trimmed them down. They're a little bit too wide for my eyes. I think if I had trimmed maybe 2/3 ml off they would fit better and look plenty more natural. 

What I like about these is that they have that floaty wispie vibe I love going on. They feel light to wear and certainly aren't weighing my eyes down.  

What I don't like is, they are far too wide. I'm lazy, I don't really have much patience for cutting down lashes, and I always get them wrong. They never look even and I end up getting them muddled up with which chopped lash goes on which eye and having to take them off again. I also don't like the length of the lashes in the inside corner of the eye. These just don't seem right, as the inner corner lashes are too long for my pea sized eyes.




My final verdict for these lashes is a simple, meh. They're just okay. Nothing sensational, not life changing in the slightest and i'm certainly not going to run out and buy 20x pairs of them. However, if I wanted to dress up a little and glam up without having to buy lashes? I'd probably wear grab my Katie Perry Oh Honey! lashes from the drawer and wear them.

I'd love to hear what your favourite lashes are to wear, so let me know in the comments!


[Tutorial] My Margot Robbie inspired, pale girl contouring & step by step tutorial.

Friday, 31 January 2014


em Ford, meddy ford, blogger, model, my pale skin, mypaleskinblog




Margot Robbie is beautiful. She shot to fame this year after appearing in The Wolf of Wall Street. I love her look. Her hair,  make up and style is always to perfection.  Natural waves and nude lips seem to be her signature style, which is great because they're both part of my everyday look. I like the natural glow she has going on and the almost effortless way it's all brought together.

em Ford, meddy ford, blogger, model, my pale skin, mypaleskinblog, glamour model, pale skin, my pale skin, youtube, blogger

Apply your base foundation. I used 1/2 pumps of Mac Studio Fix Foundation in shade NC15 and applied it using my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.

em Ford, meddy ford, blogger, model, my pale skin, mypaleskinblog, glamour model, pale skin, my pale skin, youtube, blogger

Contour. I Used my Chanel Pro Lumiere Foundation in shade 60 Hale, and Illamasqua Skin Base in shade 01 white.


Next I blended it all together, added some Studio Fix Concealer in shade NC15 under my eyes/ middle of my chin and finished it with B. Pressed powder in Light/Medium.


Bronze & Blush! using my Bourjois Paris Bronzer in shade 52 I went over the same areas that I contoured in the previous step, focusing on cheek bones, forehead and jawline. I then added blush, Bourjois Little round pot, shade frosted rose on the apples of my cheeks 

Eyes. I put a base on my lids and bottom waterline using NYX Milk, which was then ligtly blended out. Next comes the Naked Basics palette. I applied Foxy all over my lids, used Naked 2 in my crease and added a bit of smoke in the outer corners using Faint.


Brows & Wing. I filled in my brows using my Sleek brow Palette - Light. Then Added a wing using a cheap smudge-able drugstore eyeliner. This wing doesn't have to be neat as it's going to be smudged to add an extra layer of depth to the eyes.

em Ford, meddy ford, blogger, model, my pale skin, mypaleskinblog, glamour model, pale skin, my pale skin, youtube, blogger

Wing. I smudged in an upwards motion to blend out the pencil liner, then Winged it for real using my B. Gel eyeliner pot.


Mascara & lips. I applied my go to mascara Bourjois Paris Volume clubing Ultra Black and applied a few swipes of my Body Shop Born Lippy Pink berry tinted Lip Balm.
