I recently tried khiels BB shade2 and loved the texture and feel but it was a bit too dark and orange on my skin Sad

Just can't find anything that matches! If it helps I'm NC30 in Mac studio fix fluid..

Undertone needs to be beige/ golden

Try canmake BB creams , you can find reputable sellers online and on eBay. It's Japanese and they tend to have a more yellow undertones. Fits my nc30 skintone perfect

I've yet to find a tinted moisturiser or BB cream that suits my asian shade...there just isn't the range of BB shades as there is for foundations (and even then some foundation brands are rubbish at the 'not dark but not caucasian' range).

Instead I just mix my regular foundation with moisturiser if I want lighter coverage.

Tinted moisturisers - Laura Mercier and Nars

Skin tint - Fenty

Lightweight foundation - Bite Beauty

All of the above tend to have quite good shade ranges, not sure if any would be suitable.

If you are East Asian then you might find it worth looking into Korean or Japanese beauty brands for BB creams or cushion foundations, they will be specially designed for asian skin and generally speaking they are 5 steps ahead of western brands when it comes the makeup and skincare ingredients and formulations. They usually have very poor shade ranges - typically around 3 all on the fair side, so no go for medium to dark skinned girls.

Try the Trinny London range, I have the BFF de stress tinted serum and think it's great for summer and I generally wear Estée Lauder Double Wear.

There's a shade finder facility on the website, starts with your eye colour, then goes on to hair, it's really very clever - it worked perfectly on me.

Do you need a BB cream or would tinted moisturiser work?

For tinted moisturiser, Nars have a good product and their shade range generally leans towards yellow/warm undertones which would work for your skin
