BB cream for pale skin?

16 replies

Can anyone recommend a BB or CC cream for dry, very pale skin with a pink undertone (rather than yellow) please? I prefer as natural / chemical free one as possible. Thanks

I use a Boots botanics one that I like. It's very light.

Kiehl's is good - I also have pale skin.

Boots Botanics. Even the medium is very pale. You could have had mine but I threw it away because it was....very pale :)

Kiehl's has the palest. Also a v high SPF (50 I think). Funny smell though.

Smashbox are also good at the pale end of the scale.

Also a Scottish pale and the boots botanics light suits me.

I use Kiehls too (also pale Scottish Xmas Smile and like it, although I agree with AntoinetteCosway, it does smell funny, a bit biscuity like fake tan...

Erborian. Hands down the absolute best, admittedly slightly pricey but the tube lasts me about 3.5 months. Absolutely love it - from Space NK

Bobby brown, they'll colour match it for you at the counter. Lovely quality.

I find Korean ones to be SO much better than Western ones - and they are the original! Get them online (I use seller f2plus1 on ebay) and you can get loads of samples. I get the Missha Perfect Cover in shade 13 (the lightest colour).

I agree with littlebabypigsus,if you want a BB cream get a proper one ie Asian.European BB creams are nothing like the originals and are more like rebranded tinted moisturisers.

Yar, Asian is the way to go and usually works out cheaper or the same price for better quality. Here's a blog post especially for fair skins on Asian bb creams:

snowwhiteandthepear.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/pale-girl-friendly-bb-cream-swatches-on.html

It got both pinky and peachy tones.

I also bought from f2plus1 and they were great.
