Cc cream, fair skin

7 replies

I'm looking for a very sheer cc cream. I'm fair with red undertones. I've tired a few in the past, but they were too orange toned.
If anyone has any recommendations I'd be grateful, I can't afford to buy lots of different ones to try.

Apologies if these are in the wrong price bracket and neither are strictly cc creams. I love la mer reparative (now radiant but same product) skin tint. The lightest two shades are really pale and I think it's the best. It contains skin care but is really expensive.

Chanel’s new tinted moisturiser in light is also lovely. Chanel do a cc but I always found it a bit thick.

I have also always enjoyed Clinique's cc cream it has a great texture and makes my skin look good. However last time I wore it I thought my skin looked a bit oxidised and orange and I have it in light which is the lightest shade. It may be that my tube is a bit past it because I've always liked it before.

It's a pain at the moment when it's hard to test but if you ask at beauty counters they normally have samples to give you.

I would have a look into the Korean CC creams OP, the fair shades are much better represented and I find the undertones match my skin well (no orange). I've not found a european or US one I like and tend to use a sheer foundation instead. I tried the IT Cosmetics CC cream that everyone raves over and was shocked, it has more coverage than any foundation I own and is very thick. Their fairest shae is also pretty yellow-toned. I'm sure they're just vanity advertising to make people feel good about the fact they 'only need' a CC cream and not a proper foundation Hmm.

To be clear, whilst I use a sheer base, i suffer with blemishes so like a light sheer base to even out skin tone and then will spot conceal. I find it gives a glowier and more natural finish than going all over with something fuller coverage.

For light coverage Eborian is very good. I like the Estée Lauder tinted moisturiser that adjusts to your face colour but it’s £££. Completely disagree with the pp. I find IT Cosmetics cc cream amazing, but you only need the tiniest tiniest bit - like half a little fingernail size, rather than the amount you’d normally use, however it is on the yellow side so not what you’re looking for.

Not a cc but nars tinted moisturiser is good, evens out and lightweight.

I’m glad someone else found this, I thought it was just me. It also settled in my pores horribly, and I don’t even have visible pores normally.

Whoops, bold fail sorry.
