Help BB Cream for very pale skin.

Hi ladies, I've been looking for a BB cream and tried about 8 brands so far with no luck. I'm really pale white with cold undertones due to being anemic and a Swedish Irish mix.

My problem is the fair and light colors of many brands are to "orange" for me. I tried all the sephora samples and only found one that kinda matched.
Too Faced BB Creme full coverage snow glow, but I want a liquid not a full coverage creme. I remember specifically trying smashbox and it was way too orangy.

thamks for your help!!

I'm pretty fair, I am obsessed with L'oreal bb cream. It goes on white and adjust to your skin tone. I have tried a ton and even out of the high end it's the only one I like. It's the white and purple one :)

I'm very fair skinned and I've had the same problem. I've tried tons of BB creams and even the lightest shades are too orange for me. I agree with Aleighnna on the ones she suggested, especially Holika Holika Luminous Silk BB. I also really liked the Skinfood BB creams I've tried. Good luck in your search! :)

And thanks for that list, Aleighnna! I definitely have to give the ones I haven't heard of a try.  :)

Maybeline dream PURE bb, its very very matte and does not oxidise as much as the dream fresh, and it is paler to start with. I found it too matte for my combination skin, and a bit too pale (despite being quite a pale person!) but with some moisturiser it looked a lot better :)
