Happy new year y'all!! I've had a hard time finding a pale enough, good for the skin bb cream. I'm using the lightest tarte bb and it oxidizes orange. Some of the Asian bbs are supposed to be geared more pale, cool tones. Clinique, nars, smash box, dr jart ect all super orange. I find cc creams to be closer in color but still oxidize and super heavy. I use hd powder. I'm not crazy about heavy foundation. please let me know if ya have tried any Asian bb creams with success or any others that are for pale faces. I'm getting desperate! Any help will be greatly appreciated!!🙏💖💕❤️

Asian BB creams are going to be your best bet as they have shades that would be a better match for your skintone. I'm not at home right now or else I'd be able to give you the list of brands worth checking out (that can be had on Amazon).

Ok, made it home. :) Just to give you a little history...the first BB out of Korea to hit the market was Hanskin. Not too familiar with the formula and not even sure if it's still being produced but its worth looking into. The current brands are Missa, Etude House and Skinfood. They are the top selling brands in Korea. All of them have websites available to pull up ingredients and shades available. If you have issues with acne and sensitivity I suggest Caolion Sensitive BB cream. Its non-comedogenic,paraben-free and doesn't contain mineral oil. That's another thing to watch out for...many of them contain mineral oil (also listed as paraffinum liquidum or C-13 14 paraffinum). Its a useless ingredient,in my opinion and with long term use can result in clogged pores. Unfortunately I can't give you my personal opinion on wear,etc.because none of the bb creams coming out of Korea have a shade dark enough for my skintone but my husband who is in the skincare/cosmetic biz travels frequently overseas and has subjected himself to applying these products on himself. And he turns super pale in the winter so I've seen him wear some hits and some duds.lol. The safest place to purchase from is from Amazon...Ebay...he has spotted fakes that were actually produced in China using subpar ingredients.

Thanks so much girl! I'm eyeing the etude, hanskin and now the caolion. I did notice a bunch of mineral oil and some funky ingredients so I have to lot of research to do. Good to know about the fakes. I noticed some crazy cheap prices on big products so I'm guessing those are fakes. I'm so excited to find a match for everyday simple use and put down the bronzer!! Your husband sounds awesome! A straight man wearing bb cream!!lol! I'm always wanting to test stuff on my man and get a hell no!

Oh trust me...my hubby won't go beyond tinted moisturizers or bb creams. He uses me for everything else. Since he consults and formulates for brands he has to play with all the products out there to get idea on how to make something a little more far superior. Glad to have been of some help. Its a pretty vast market so take your time..you'll find something that will fit you. :)

Skin79 has two I love - Intense Classic balm (great coverage), and the Hot Pink Super Plus. I'm pale, and both work really well for me.
Garnier's light also works for me if you want one that's easier to get your hands on.

Thanks ladies!! I may have to look into the loreal cuz I haven't tried it yet.
The garner was to dark for me😖 I wanted to love it.
I ended up getting the orange bottle skin79. Had a lot of great reviews!! Fingers crossed! I also got the mushroom and peach green tea from skinfood. I also wanna try the etude and missha. And everything else!!

Oh I will! There are so many choices!! I started with some less expensive and I'm going to work my way up. Even their cheaper ones have ok ingredients. There's a few cones but it doesn't seem to bad. I've also been looking at dr jart (v7 extra pale) and their ingredients are dreamy!! So few and pronounceable! Not many colors though.
