BB or CC cream for light complexion with PINK tones?

PilatesLover — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 18:01:57 GMT

I'm sure to get answers here - I want to switch to a BB or CC cream, but so many of them are for warm tones and look orange on me. My complexion is medium light, not super pale, with pink tones (Irish ancestry).

Thank you in advance!

I am searching for the same thing. Most companies seem to sell yellow or neutral undertones, which don't match my skin color at all. A true cool or pinkish undertone would be a welcome change. I have lots of pink in my face and nothing works with it or neutralizes it and I have given up. Those that claim to cover up red work for about a half hour on me. If I can't cover it I can at least hope to embrace it wlth the right foundation. I really don't like heavy applications.

I'm currently using Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in light/medium and it fits your description. The only downside is that it's quite shiny so I powder lightly over it. HTH

I have similar coloring. I always thought I was a medium, but light-medium suits me the best. If you're looking for a drugstore option, I've had good experiences with Physicians Formula Super BB All-in-1 in the light-medium shade. Their Super CC+ Cream in light-medium is also nice. Lastly, if you aren't opposed to ordering online, I also like Skinn Collagenesis CC Cream. The Skinn colors run dark in this formulation so the light is just right for me.

I am light with a cool (pink) undertone. I use Dr Jart Premium BB Beauty Balm. Available at Sephora, shade 01 light/medium. One pump covers my whole face. One tube lasts a year.

@PilatesLover Laura Mercier offers pink undertones. If you want to spend less try Rihanna because she offers pink undertones.

My skin is very light with pink undertones and I love, love Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation. I tried so many before finding this one. It gives light coverage and doesn't look muddy on me.

I don't know why you wouldn't want beauty products made in Korea. Korea is known for their excellent and affordable beauty products because the Koreans are so demanding and skincare is everything over there. I've incorporated quite a few Korean products into my skincare routine and I've really appreciated them. Sunscreens from Korea and Japan are better than anything I've found from US brands.

The Korean brands focus more on hydration and even skintone and US brands focus more on retinol and wrinkles. I've found that using a combination of US and Korean brands gives me the best of both worlds. Korean sheet masks and essences are some of my favorite new things.

I agree with you about the Korean sunscreens. I also love the Japanese ones. They both contain UV filters that haven't been approved by the FDA here in the States and they're so head and shoulders above what's available here, in terms of protection AND elegance of application. No thick, greasy feel or white cast with the ones I've tried.

What about the new IT foundation moisturizer in fair/light. That one has pink undertones.

I thought they would be something i would not buy ,because of where they are made, i was wrong.

I hadn’t noticed the iT products were made in Korea. That gives me pause about future purchases. I stupidly assumed because they work with plastic surgeons that meant they were produced here.
Personally her CC cream is sort of a no go for me. I have MS & if I have a hot flash it just melts off my face. I have also tried, Bye Bye Undereye in a few shades & formulations. But with that it’s SO thick I have to mix it with a bit of eye cream to get it to blend & not settle in the few wrinkle I’m working on. Then, it defeats the purpose!
I think the cosmetics are nice and have bought several different ones. I’m not happy with their “tight eye/line?” Mascara. It’s not that great for all day & I always end up hitting my eye with the wand!
Hope my info helps you.
