BB cream for pale skin?

16 replies

CanYouKeepASecret2 · 24/12/2013 14:06

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.

Dr Jaart Premium.

Boots Botanical is very pale.

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.

bloomingheather · 24/12/2013 21:29

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.

lookatmybutt · 26/12/2013 13:26

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.

Thank you everyone, I will start investigating.
