Following on from my "eye make up is crap" thread I also need new base. Foundation - urgh. Think I'll need to go get that tried on my skin but I had a lovely BB cream from I think Aldi? All gone. Need another just to whizz over in a morning when I can't face full on make up
I like the look of the Trinny stuff but it's an expensive mistake if no good!
Ideas please. I'm v pale

Vichy is good.

youngestisapsycho · 15/07/2021 21:27

I use Erborian CC cream. Nice colour and coverage.

HundredMilesAnHour · 15/07/2021 21:31

Erborian BB cream. Amazing stuff!!

Pieceofpurplesky · 15/07/2021 22:08

Trinny London is brilliant. I use BFF and it is also SPF 30

OxanaVorontsova · 15/07/2021 22:12

Another Erborian fan!

Trinny’s BFF cream is great. Another cheaper one I like is the Avene anti rouge tinted moisturiser. Both have some SPF and are lovely on the skin

FreshFaceTime · 16/07/2021 13:14

Erborian CC

Aldi had some of their bb cream in store the other day though so if you like it you could have a look if they have any left in your local store.

Bare minerals complexion rescue for me, I find it lighter and dewier than the Erborian one with a better range of colours. It Cosmetics was nice too, but more coverage than I want.

Nightlystroll · 16/07/2021 13:20

Nyx Bear With Me Skin Veil is good if you can get the right shade. TK Maxx have got Misha B at the moment.

MagicMatilda · 16/07/2021 22:56

Trinny BFF…epic

SymbollocksInteractionism · 16/07/2021 22:57

Max factor

I rate eborian cc over trinny BFF.

Peraltiago · 16/07/2021 22:59

I'm a big BB cc fan, and use lots of Korean ones. But if you want something that's easier to get hold of, I really rate Revolution Super Dewy tinted moisturizer. Not quite as full coverage as a Korean BB cream, but pretty good, and available in Superdrug 😁

Trinny BFF is great with the serum, but it's £££. I'm also very pale (ginger!) and find the ordinary serum foundation shade 1n pretty good - lightweight, nice coverage and spf 15.

polkadotpjs · 17/07/2021 18:08

@user1471518119 Ginger here too. Good to know! I might order a couple and try them and ask for a fancy one for my birthday!

I've just ordered some erborian cc cream (and a few other things) because of this thread. Thanks for the post OP, I actually needed new cc cream and hadn't heard of eborian before.

I'm still tempted by trinny BFF though....

theseriousmoonlight · 17/07/2021 18:24

*erborian (facepalm)

SirenSays · 17/07/2021 19:52

Another vote for Bare Minerals complexion rescue!

polkadotpjs · 19/07/2021 23:29

Thanks all!

I've recently purchased IT Cosmetics CC cream which I quite like. Decent coverage (a little goes a long way) and has spf 50

BippityBoppity87 · 19/07/2021 23:40

Meant to add, I'm quite pale as well and the fair/light matches pretty well. I got the smaller tube, as I found you don't need a lot

peaceanddove · 20/07/2021 13:10

Erborian CC cream. It magical. Have binned my Chanel Aqua Lumiere x
