Help Me Find DD a BB Cream for Redheads

16 replies

AsFunAsEnglishWeather · 26/09/2024 20:56

Does anyone have any recommendations? DD (15) had moderate acne until recently and used to wear a full face of concealer and foundation to hide it every day. Thankfully antibiotics have shifted the spots, but some slight pigmentation is still there - hopefully that'll fade in time.

She'd really like a BB cream to cover this as it would be much quicker to apply. However... she is a redhead with very pale but yellow undertoned skin and every BB cream we've tried has been really orange. If anyone has found one that isn't, then please, please let me know.

No. 7 do a Bb cream with colour matching

I'm pretty ghost coloured and Erborian BB in Clair works perfectly on my skin

I'm a pale redhead and Revolution CC Skin Tint is my favourite

Maybelline dream fresh has been my go to for years. Not a redhead but a ghostly pale with freckles

Another vote for eborian in clair. It’s perfect for this pale redhead.

Thank you all so much! Off to investigate...

Another for erborian in clair. It's really good coverage as well

I use Garnier BB cream in light. I'm more a strawberry blonde with lots of freckles and it evens things out a treat. It looks a bit orange at first but then lightens. You can apply a small blob like face cream. It's the only one I will use and I'm picky.

The best solution I have found it to neutralise the redness with green, the best is Dr Jart Cicapair Tiger Grass Colour Correcting Treatment. A little bit before any foundation or cover up works an absolute treat.

I'm a nstural redhead with very pale freckled skin but I've a red under tone and I've found Rosalique amazing it might not work for her tone but absolutely no orangeness at all. Also sculpted by Aimee skin tint is lovely and light and comes in a great range of shades

Thank you for the last couple, also :)
