BB Cream for pale skin

Does such a thing exist? I'm tired of buying and trying so many BB creams and they're all orange, even their supposed pale shades.

Please help!

The missha BB cream is fabulous and comes in very light shades due to being a Korean brand. It's available on some UK sites

I'll have a look thank you!

I ordered the missha one and agree it is utterly without orange. However I found it very flat. I’d love a slightly glowy bb cream.

I use sea spa magic BB cream. Can buy from Holland & Barret. There's just one shade and it seems like it just matched your skin tone if you're fair. It's not orange at all and I really like it. Otherwise for less coverage, Erborian is fab. I use clair as I'm quite pale.

Excellent suggestions thank you, I've fallen down an erborian hole and am now spending too much money! Ha

Another vote for Erborian BB. I wear their Nude shade (Clair is too dark on me).

IT Cosmetics CC cream is also quite pale (their lightest shades are too pale for me and I'm pretty pale).

Nars Pure Radiant tinted moisturiser. All others either look too orange or pink (I’m neither cool nor warm toned and pale). I use the Finland shade (but they do go lighter). I ordered a couple of sample shades from EBay to try first (there are people that decant into small pots to sell as testers). Saved me a fortune! If I’m wearing fake tan I mix Finland and Alaska - both “warm” shades but holy grail not orange!

I also recommend Erborian. I’ve been using Nude but it’s a bit pale for me so trying Clair now.

I ended up going with Erborian in their lightest shade and it's perfect! Would really recommend their Yuzu serum too.

Spa Magik BB is great for pale skins. Blends well smells great too but difficult to find sometimes .
