	On the second count -- me too! Such coverups do not exist, especially for those of us who are so pale we make vampires look tan. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	For me it's a choice between under-eye bags that make heroin chic look healthy or caked-on patches of jaundice. Makeup just doesn't work like photoshop for the real world, alas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

That's my shade of powder -- translucent. With SPF WhiteGirl6000 sunscreen. I've found tha L'Oreal is one of the few brands that makes a concealer light enough and strong enough(yay undereye circles!) for me. MAC also makes one, but it makes my skin irritated and isn't widely available in America. {*sadface*}

Since my mother is dark-skinned, she has remained convinced since my birth that I'm anaemic. Nope, just a fine example of recessive genes!

	My skin is medium-toned and I tan easily, and I can't find coverup worth a damn that works on my face/neck, either. It just all sucks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I don't have a problem matching my skin tone, especially since I generally avoid the sun and therefore don't tan much even though I could. But foundation was worthless when I was a teenager with acne, and even now it only evens out my skin color a tiny bit, so barely-visible spots disappear and my skin looks perfectly clear and even - from several meters away.

	CoverGirl's "Fair" concealer is too tan for my skin tone 90% of the year. So I have to mix and shade, etc to get a decent look. Yet still, if someone is too close my makeup looks really bad. (Reply to this)(Parent)
