Help with daytime base for a clueless new blonde please

I just, on the suggestion of my hairdresser and the possible beginnings of a midlife crisis, dyed my (already short) hair platinum blonde. I'm actually rather loving the haircut/colour but I feel like my no make-up regime needs to step up a notch as a result.

I have quite pink undertones to my skin and with the newly blonde hair I feel like my face is too pink. I feel a bit like Miss Piggy in my unkinder moments to myself.

I have foundation that works well for me (Mac Studio Fix in NC17) but I feel it's a bit heavy for everyday wear. The tinted moisturiser I used in the past (Clinique Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator in Light) makes me look a bit orange now.

Do I need a different tinted moisturiser? Or a BB/CC cream, though I don't really know what they are. Does anyone have any brands they recommend? I don't mind spending a bit to get a product that works.

Thank you.

I have a Nars tinted moisturiser I really like it, light coverage and a nice glow. Lots of shades you can match on Findation if you aren't sure which colour to go for.

No 7 hydraluminous. Their colour match service is pretty accurate too.
