I tried Erborian CC Creme - it's not for pink, celtic skin

[TimTamTerrier]

It was featured on one of the MN Recommends emails and it contains a sunscreen so I thought I'd give it a go, despite not ever having any success with BB cremes. I faltered a little when I saw it was from Korea because I have no yellow undertone at all, my skin is very pink/red undertones, so anything tinted from the Far East usually doesn't suit me. It went on very orange, and, though the orange faded a bit within 10 mins or so, it was still too dark and orange for me. Fortunately I only bought a trial size.

I also impulse bought a trial size of Erborian Pink Perfect, which is very nice and slightly glowy on my skin. It doesn't have any sunscreen though so not that useful for me.

I agree. A friend wore it one day - she's blonde and has fair skin and blue eyes. She looked very orange indeed, and looks loads better in her regular foundation

Is this usually the case with Korean skin products?

[HairsprayQueen]

Yes super orange, I had such high hopes as it was so hyped but not for me. Luckily I got it in a beauty box rather than paying out separately to be disappointed.

I'm glad I have seen this as was going to buy!

Me too. How disappointing. I found some of those Dr Jart BB creams went a very weird colour on my pink Celtic skin. Like... death mask grey.

I take it back about the Pink Perfect, it has stopped being glowy and turned flakey, and it has made my skin a bit sore too (although my skin reacts badly to about 90% of things that I try on it, and this is just a bit sore not a rash or big itchy hives). It would probably be quite good on oily skin though.

Every tinted or skin-tone Korean or Japanese thing that I've tried has been yellow-toned lottapianos, which makes sense as I think red-toned skin must be pretty rare there. Things that aren't tinted have usually been pretty good though as they generally suit pale, sensitive skin that needs a good sunscreen.

I think there are two versions of the Eborian Cc creme, I had a small sample of the 'clair' version which was perfect for my pale skin but when I forked out for the full size I got the normal version which is so orange! There is only a very tiny 'clair' on the packet so very easy to miss it!

Orangey tones is not usual for Korean stuff. Different cultural norms.. I think Erborian is fake Asian, French made. And that might explain why it is orange

Does Donald Trump wear Erborian
