The 5 Best Foundations When You're The Palest Girl In Your Group

With my Irish background, pale skin has always been something I have had to deal with. While most of my friends could get a tan by just walking outside, I would either burn or have to resort to spray tans. One of my biggest struggles, however, was trying to find the best foundation for my skin tone. I've gone from looking like a washed-out ghost with some or a pink mask with others. Finally, I have found the perfect combination of products to use that work with my pale skin! Here are some of the products I love --

1. Naked Skin Weightless Liquid Makeup by Urban Decay

I have always been an Urban Decay fan and this foundation did not disappoint! It glides on very easy and stays on throughout the majority of the day with a little help, so if you own powder and prefer powder, this is the liquid foundation for you because it works the best with powder on top! My only flaw with this foundation is that if you are prone to acne like I am, it doesn't completely cover your zits because it's so lightweight. ($40.00)

2. IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream

This is my favorite foundation to wear in the summer, especially. IT comes in both regular and illuminating and it has SPF 50 UVA/UVB, so I tend to wear this when I go on tropical vacations! ($38.00)

3. Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation

For my acne-ridden girls (like me HOLLA AT YO GIRL), this is the foundation for you! Whenever I seem to breakout, this foundation is so smooth and covers literally every zit I have ever had and the color works PERFECTLY with my pale skin tone! 1700000/10 would recommend. ($39.00)

4. bareMinerals Bare Skin Foundation

This was the first foundation I have ever found that matched my skin tone to a T. One thing I have always loved about bareMinerals is the fact that no matter what hues your skin has or what color your skin is, you will always be able to find a perfect match through them. This company has a very good record for including all skin colors, tones and hues into their product lines, so when in doubt, this is where you should look. ($30.00)

5. Teint Couture Balm by Givenchy

When I went to Disney's EPCOT last summer, I picked this little baby up from the Givenchy store in the France Pavilion and, honestly, even though this brand is extremely high-end, and yes, this was the most expensive foundation I have ever bought, it was well worth it. It has lasted me over a year now and has SPF 15. The best part about it is that it gives my skin a nice tint in color and covers essentially everything on my face. If you're willing to fork over the money for it, I would have to say it is definitely worth its price. ($45.00-$51.00, depends on packaging)

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
