Is there such a thing as a BB cream that suits pale, dry skin?

I am really pale and every BB cream I've tried has made me look orange. Apart from the La Roche Posay one which dried my already dry skin out as it's meant for those with oily complexions.

Has anyone found a BB cream that works for pale, dry skin?

Thanks Smile

A lot of the Korean brands are very pale, and are often thick and moisturising. Lioele Beyond the Solution is a good, high coverage cream, and Missha Perfect Cover is great too. They can be bought on Ebay or Amazon, though might take a little while to arrive.

One that you can buy here is It Cosmetics CC cream - this is essentially a Korean formula cream made for the Western market at 3 times the price! But it has a much better range of shades, and it does go very pale.

You need Erborian BB creme in Clair It’s Korean as Jeremy recommends. It’s a pale neutral rather than being pink or yellow toned. I have tried BB creams from Lancôme, Chanel, Bobbi brown and Mac and they were all too pink/peachy/orange.

I am similar toned and use the Erborian cream as above. It must be the BB cream, their CC is orange on my skin!

The one I like best is Clarins BB Skin Detox Fluid. It has spf 25 and I find it really good for my pale, dry skin. I have the 0O Fair. It gives a good coverage, stays on well and is definitely the nicest one I’ve used so far.

Ooh that’s good to know Slipper! I was tempted to try the cc creme too.

I am pale and use the Boots No 7 BB Cream in medium for dry skin.

I haven’t tried the lighter version, but medium is quite light and neither yellow nor orange.

I really like the Bobbi Brown one.
