Foundation for PALE dry skin that doesn’t pill

Advice

These are my my issues

-foundation pills because I use gel moisturizer (hada labo perfect gel in the gold packaging). It’s the only moisturizer I’ve found that doesn’t make my face sting so I don’t want to change it.

-foundation is too dark. Whenever I get color matched in store, it looks ok. As soon as I look at myself in natural lighting, I realize it’s too dark.

-I exfoliate regularly with chemical exfoliator serums, but I still have dry patches on my forehead and around my eyes.

I prefer thicker creamier formulas. I feel like the thin serum tints really highlight the dry patches. I have tried Asian foundations; they are typically gray on me for some reason.

Skin care routine: -Pyunkang Yul cleansing balm -Soon Jung foam cleanser -The Ordinary Lactic Acid. Sometimes the purple rice exfoliator from Tatcha if my skin isn’t too sensitive for physical exfoliation. -Iunik propolis serum or Iunik beta glucan serum -The Ordinary niacinamide plus zinc serum -Squalane oil from the Ordinary -Hada Labo Perfect Gel -Skin aqua super moisture milk spf in day -Isntree hyaluronic acid sleeping mask at night
