Hi friends! We’re currently snowed in and I am majorly miserable from caffeine withdrawal (trying to quit Pepsi is NOT fun) but it is giving me time to work on my fitness & try out some of these super fun healthy recipes! I’m sticking to my Weight Watchers plan in combination with eMeals and I’ll have an update on that soon!
For today though, I want to share some of my favorite beauty products for pale skin! Let’s get serious, ladies… us pale girls have to stick together and share the wealth! The sad truth is there are just some products that we can’t use, certain bronzers that are too orange, blush that’s too bright, highlighters that match our skin and foundations that aren’t light enough. I struggle with finding favorites in these categories because they’re are mostly made for people who don’t make a regular appearance as Casper the friendly ghost like this girl! Beauty products for pale skin that work great from the first try are few and far between and I have six today that absolutely top my list as being the best of the best!
MAYBELLINE DREAM LUMI HIGHLIGHTER \\ $7.99 \\ This is a new find for me but in the last few months I have grown to absolutely adore it! It’s the perfect shade that it’s almost white and illuminated so it stands out on my otherwise pale skin!
PHYSICIAN’S FORMULA HAPPY BOOSTER BLUSH \\ $11.99 \\ Anyone with blue or green eyes will love this. The perfect shade of pink that really makes your cheeks pop.
URBAN DECAY NAKED 3 \\ $52 \\ I have searched high and low for a palette that didn’t have as many dark shades in it Naked 1 and 2 just didn’t do it for me, they’d wash me out or make me look muddy. So when this was announced I yelped with joy! You can see my review of it here with the swatches and see just why I love it!
BENEFIT ‘THAT GIRL’ \\ $29 \\ This silky pink face primer is about as amazing as they come! It really works well at brightening up your skin and prepping it for makeup!
BENEFIT ‘HOOLA’ BRONZER \\ $28 \\ A matte bronzer that isn’t too ‘orangey’? Love it! One of my favorites for sure, it goes on light and gives me a sun kissed look.
REVLON NEARLY NAKED FOUNDATION \\ $9.99 \\ This is a brand and line that has extremely light shades so it’s almost certain that they would have something to fit your skintone. I always end up with a foundation that ends up being a little darker than my actual shade when shopping for drugstore products but this one matches completely!
The beauty products for pale skin are absolutely favorites of mine and always in my go-to makeup bag! If you’re loving these maybe you can find more products to love for more then just one skintone 😉 in my High End Makeup Kit or Drugstore Makeup Kit && there’s always fun to be had on the Beauty Products Under $10 list!
Are you a pale gal? What are your favorite products?
Nice suggestions! I would also add Korean-made BB creams to this list, because even us super pale girls can find one that matches our skin tone.
Great list. I love the Naked 3 palette.
I’m not very pale but I’d still like to try the Dream Lumi Highlighters!
I’ve been wanting to try a primer. I’ve been using BB cream, and I like it, but I want to give primer a shot too.
I have the pink Happy blush, and love it. Which color do you suggest? The listing you linked to on Ulta shows the same color for all three options. I’m not sure which one they’re showing, but the pink one is different shades of pink – no brownish ones at all.
Ange you’re speaking my language! All these products are great for us pale girls!!! I especially love Naked 3. You’re right, perfection for us! And it looks really great with my blue eyes and blonde hair! (not to sound vain , but it honestly does heheh!)
While I’m a Mary Kay girl through and through, it’s nice to see other cosmetic companies paying attention to us pale gals! I’m the redheaded, freckled kind of pale, so I’m not ghostly white, but I could never find anything specifically for my shade of pale!
Growing up, I was the palest girl I knew. Even now, I could use a little color! lol. BB creams are my go-to, especially the Korean ones.
Love, love, love my Naked 3 palette. 🙂
I have pale skin too mostly because I tend not to get enough sunlight. I don’t usually use many beauty products but t hese sound great.
I am a pale girl as well. This is a great list of products. Thanks 🙂
Such a good post! I own all of these items and they work well for my paler skin!
This is so helpful! I have pale skin as well. I’ve used that Physician’s formula blush, Naked 3 and That Gal and I totally agree. I will have to try the other three now. Thanks for the recommendations. I’m sure I’ll love the bronzer since I love Benefit, but do I need another bronzer?!? Of course!
Great list of suggestions!
Pale girls reppin’! Love this list 🙂
That’s one thing I love about you, you show everybody the love. Us pale girls need makeup too and it seems like EVERYTHING is meant for those with medium skin tones. Thanks for reminding me of the products that are meant for us pale ones too 🙂
Great picks! LOVE my Naked palettes!
Great list! I love the Physician’s formula happy booster blushes!
I love the Naked 3
2, 3, 4, and 5 are some of my favorites and I think they work well on any skin tone! I use them on my medium skin-toned self as well as have used them on friends of all colors in the past! Great stuff!
I’ll have to try the Maybelline highlighter. It would sure save money over the YSL or Dior.
I love the nearly naked foundation– I have a little bit left in my bottle but it’s my summer shade 😛
LOVE this! I’m going to have to check these out! I hate all the beauty bloggers with super tan skin that don’t know what to tell us pale faced girls!
Wow I love your choices!
I love that Physicians Formula blush!
I also make appearances as Casper the friendly ghost, and I have/love some of the products you mentioned above! I definitely want to try the Physicians Formula blush! I just filmed a tag post, and I wanted to personally tag you! It’s called the Start if Something New tag, and you can check out all of the details on my blog
Thank You!

This list rocks. I want to play with all of these, right now!
Does the foundation oxidize? That’s the one problem I always always find with any of the foundations I’ve tried.
This one did oxidize on me 🙂
Can you do a top bright lip colors for pale skin? It’s something I’m having a hard time with. Thank you!
Sure! I’ll put it on the list! I have & each of those shades work great for pale skin!
Great tips! I have a very pale skin and choosing proper makeup and beauty products is always an issue for me. Again, I really appreciate those cool picks! Thanks!
