BB or Cc cream for Indian skin?

Any reasonably priced reccos at Boots or Superdrug? I am 53. Dont need heavy coverage, just light cover. Dont want to spend too much as I dont wear anything day to day, just for special occasions.

Find it hard to find the right shade. Am light skinned for an Indian.

I think it is quite hard to get darker skintones in BB?CC. Erborian does Dore (gold), caramel and another shade which I think is chocolate which I am guessing would be too dark for you. Have a look at the Nude/Dore/caramel. If you are near a Boots you may be able to test it.

If not I think Nars does a tinted moisturiser which may have better selection of shades?

Have you looked at Boots no7 stuff. They do a City tint and may do others as well.

Thanks both. Have heard good things about Erborian and the Dore shade looks right. Never heard about the other one. Will have a look.

I have typically light colouring (warm Ivory) but I do sometimes put the Dore one on very sparingly. It might work for you? Years ago I used a tinted moisturiser by either Clarins or Lancome (forget which) and that was Dore (Golden). I don't think they do either now.
