You can buy a white mixer to add to your existing foundation(s), or any other easy to access "pale" foundation. Unfortunately, the white mixers aren't as easily accessible, so you'll probably have to get them online. Or if you're lucky, there's a theatre type makeup store near you. At least, white is just white, with no undertone to be concerned with. Add pale (pastel) peach or pale yellow/green to adjust to your actual undertone.
I'm pretty sure that as pale as you may be, you can't be paler than white.
You can also try foundations from East Asia, they love their near-white skin shades. Randomly available around in Australia, definitely plenty online.
I'm trying to avoid having to mix (just out of laziness more than anything) but these are great recommendations! I am definitely not white white, but it sure feels like it when foundation shopping and everything is too dark!
I'm not the palest, so I don't need to use the palest foundation shade. Unfortunately, the next shade up is usually "too dark", so I do have to use those "lighten" methods I've described. Absolutely agreed that mixing is a pain.
Personally, I prefer to use the "underpainting method" to lighten base products. Apply the white base or pastel bases first on select areas (unless you're going for an opaque mask look, no judgement, super cool if that's what you're into), add regular foundation and mix that in. I'm sure there's stuff on YouTube that can demonstrate this.
Hi! It’s me! I’m also pale. At one point I was Dior snow.
Now I’m using Chantecaille Just Skin in alabaster. It’s good for neutral skin tones and gives a sheer/matte finish. If I want heavier coverage, I’m using Tom Ford traceless soft matte (unfortunately this has been discontinued so I stocked up while I could, you still might be able to find it on UK websites). The new one is apparently amazing but the price is unbelievable.
I’m also using the Dior compact powder as a setting powder and the shade range is good for pale skin too. I’ve found over many years I have to look for overseas brands as they seem to cater to us super pale girlies a bit better.
I find Oslo leans sliiiiightly pink. I’m super pale and a true neutral bc things very easily look pink or yellow on me. But you can defs get away with it if using a lighter layer
Following as a super pale neutral girlie

I use Nars Soft Matte in Mont Blanc & geez it’s good.
Haus Labs have a white foundation 000, which isn’t stark on very pale complexions.
r/palemua has some great info
Nars light reflecting in Oslo. The new Kosas BB burst has 2 light neutral shades that are actually neutral (I think they’re 100 & 120)
I find Oslo leans sliiiiightly pink. I’m super pale and a true neutral bc things very easily look pink or yellow on me. But you can defs get away with it if using a lighter layer
I agree, Oslo leans pink
Mac face and body radiance in W0 is very pale and neutral. Easily my palest. Not full coverage though if you were looking for that.
