I've been on the hunt for a good BB-cream for over a year now, but I can't find one which blends into my own skintone, because my skin is really, really pale. (MAC's NC15 is almost too dark for me. Which isn't so surprising considering that I live in Norway.)

I live in a small town with limited stores which sells makeup, and so far I have only found two BB-creams which are close to my skintone. (You can see them swatched on my cheek on the picture.) This is the closest I have came to finding a fitting BB-cream...

So I wonder if any of you could suggest some BB-creams which may fit my skintone? Maybe throw in some links to online stores which sells them, maybe? (And ships to norway!)

Skin79 is a little grey on me. But missha's BB cream in shade 13 is reaallly pale (if you like pale skin). Perfect cover and Real Complete are basically the same formulation, Real Complete is slightly better, but it's also slightly more pricey (they both cost 12 and up). You can get them on eBay.

Also, shade 21 suits pale skin too, but it's a little too dark for me in the winter.

Missha bb creams. There's a bit of a color range to choose from. For me, they're the only ones that are light enough that I've tried. I'm so pale I can't buy any drugstore foundations because the colors are never light enough, and I was the lightest shade in makeup forever's mat velvet foundation, and it was still the slightest bit dark. Missha perfect cover bb cream is my holy grail skin product. It's helped with my acne scars and is moisturizing enough I don't need to apply any moisture products before application.

Try the Missha M Signature Real Complete BB cream in n. 13 (the lightest shade available). I'm a redhead with a very pale ivory skin and a just a couple light freckles (I always put on a strong spf to prevent them) and It matches my skintone well. It has a pretty neutral undertone, not greyish or too yellowy, so it should work on your skin too. It is a medium coverage but if you want to go sheer (like I do) you can mix it with a bit of moisturizer.
