I don't want to go back to foundation

[Blueblackrose]

Loving the non makeup look but feel I need something to look polished when the time comes to go back the office.

I am a YSL Touche Éclat Le Teint devote (b40) but it just seems way way too much now. What's the middle ground for pale but uneven tone skin?

Maybe mineral powder foundation / concealer or Korean make up like their BB cream that suppose to be very good. I'm looking at misha BB but delivery expensive or other posters may have better tips

I've been thinking the same so have ordered some bare minerals powder foundation. No idea how it will look but hopefully just minimal and healthy!

Fake tan for the face. I always do this every summer.

Tinted moisturiser is your answer. I use Laura Mercier.

I really like dollish veil vita bb cream in purple which I usually get off eBay. The Missha one is good too (called perfect cover, shade 13 is the palest!)
The only thing is not much on eBay at the minute and postage has been ramped ip

I use bare minerals complexion rescue tinted moisturiser most days. I’ll add concealer sometimes if I need to. I find this is a good balance between foundation and bare face. For days when I’d like a little bit more I wear Clarins BB fluid. It’s not a fluid at all though silly name.
Another thought. MAC face and body foundation is a lovely summer foundation. Really light and stays put on hot days. I always buy a small bottle for this time of year but had completely forgotten

I really like the Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi drops. I mix it with my moisturiser/spf and it’s just enough to brighten and even my skin tone. I’m fairly pale, and although it looks dark you can control the amount and it’s fine on my skin, and not orange at all. It’s a good substitute for foundation. Then I just need a dab of concealer under my eyes.

Another vote for bare minerals complexion rescue.

Korean BB cream is your answer! I'm a convert to Erborian (free delivery for a small 15ml tester on their website).

I love pixi h20 skin tint, it's light, blends but provides good coverage kids like a tinted moisturiser

I got some fab cream bb from
Beauty & the boutique on FB.

Can't go wrong with Missha magic cushions in my view for pale Northern European type skin - you can match on paler pink toned cushions.

I use Klairs BB cream, you can order it from Beauty & Seoul. They usually get the order to you within a week and out free samples in. I’m really pale and find this ideal.

I'm the wrong side of 40 and gave up foundations few years ago, it made me look older. Decent moisturiser and B.B. cream looks much better.

I used to use Lilly lolo which was around before bare minerals but i felt it sometimes go a bit cakey as the day went on.

No7 do a very reasonably priced bb cream

Lumene Instant Glow skin serum, like a thin tinted moisturiser.

I find a lot of BB creams are too orangey on me, so on the rare occasion I wear make up I just mix some pale foundation with some moisturiser.

Garnier BB cream, with garnier bb concealer or maybelline fit concealer. Lovely.

A decent primer makes all the difference though! I like mac or no7

I like NYX bare with me skin tint. It's very light coverage but you can put on a few layers and it doesn't feel heavy. Can't speak for the darker shades but it certainly goes pale enough for my milk bottle skin.

I agree with a pp. You could try mixing some foundation with moisturiser.

I've gone for Korean- Erborian BB. Ordered the small tube in nude with a sample of nude and clair (paler). I'm blonde and Scottish so fair skinned. I don't have any pink in me so hoping it's a good match.

Erborian is lovely.
I have Irish skin and have Clair, I also have dull correct.
It's so lovely and it airbrushes your skin but with a make up free look
