Tinted moisturiser/BB/CC cream?

[ElliesMum16]

I'm looking for a product that I can just slap on to even out my skin on days where I don't want to do 'proper' foundation. Ideally something that doesn't require colour-matching. From looking online maybe I need a BB or CC cream but have no idea where to start. Suggestions or recommendations? Thanks!

Erboria. I switch between their BB and CC creams and love them.

Thanks - what's the difference between BB and CC?

Bare minerals

@ElliesMum16 I think BB is beauty balm and cc is colour correcting. I think BB sounds like what you want! I use the Garnier one and I'm a fan.

I like Erborian too. There are loads of different ones. The Erborian website explains the difference between all of them.
They're a bit pricy though. I'm currently using the green L'Oréal BB cream (it adjusts to skin colour when you rub it in) and I'm liking it. It's only a tenner so maybe try something like that before forking out for Erborian. If you're getting Erborian, go for smaller size. It's lasted ages for me and the bigger one is obviously more expensive.

This is the Erborian one I have. It’s lovely!

I like the Erborian one too
Cc is thicker and white and adapts to your face whereas the BB is lighter. I think I prefer the BB

How do you choose the colour?

I use the Garnier one too and love it

Tried expensive ones garnier is now my go to better than anything else I've tried

Estée Lauder everyday

Following this thread to come back to the

I bought the Rare Beauty tinted moisturiser and really like it for days I can be arsed and want to look awake and fresh faces! Very easy, I just apply and blend with my hands and then go in with a brush right at the end to buff it in a bit more.
Very lightweight.
Since it’s a tinted moisturiser it’s a bit more forgiving than a standard foundation so I just guessed the shade online and it’s a really good match but it’s not a huge deal if it isn’t a perfect match as it’s sheer enough to get away with it.

I think this is the one I have but it's called CC C'est Magic. It's so good. I had a more expensive one (BFF Trinny) but it was a bit powdery. This one goes on so well and really colour corrects.

Garnier bb cream.

Another recommending Erborian. I prefer their CC cream. It looks white on your fingers but then kind of melts and blends into your skin tone - I use ‘clair’ as the ‘doree’ is a bit too golden / tan for me. They also have two darker tones.

Their CC cream is more of a ‘skin but better’ tint, whereas the BB has more coverage. If you buy on their website, you can select tester samples to try other products / formulas, and if you get it and it’s not right, they have good customer service to change.

Def worth a try!

I really like the nars tinted moisturiser, it makes me look way more put together.

Following for inspiration 😅

This one, its expensive but fab!

Ooh sorry thought that had copied the PP...was talking about Estee Lauder tinted Moisturiser

I vote Erborian too. It looks amazing.
I prefer the BB as the CC cream was too dark for me, even in the lightest shade.

Yes that's the one I'm using @MerryMarigold

Erborian - I use CC and BB (and super BB which is much thicker) but have also just bought cc dull correct which is really nice. CC is lighter weight and for days you just want minimal coverage BB a bit heavier and Super BB more like a foundation. I’ve tried several IT cosmetics and Nars but they either transfer (IT) or are very yellow in tone (NARS) Erborian has never let me down and is nourishing for my dry perimenopausal skin

Another vote for Erborian - I bought it after seeing it recommended on here and am hugely impressed.

Thanks everyone - lots of votes for Erborian! I'll check out all recommendations.
