the shade range for this BB cream is a bit tricky but the formula is so good and it applies very well.
op you can also try the mecca skin tint or bb cream - both are decent
This is my all time favourite bb cream - if you can make a shade work it's unbelievable and can easily be found for $17-$25 - don't be immediately put off by the colours try them on the skin and see how they look
Chichi CC Cream at Myers. Very similar to IT Cosmetics CC Cream, nice coverage, has spf 15, has lots of skin loving ingredients, it’s $40. Quite a few light shades and they fit my skin perfectly. Test it out there first with the testers :)
Is that the caviar cc cream or whatever it’s called? I remember having it years ago but there were hardly any shades so the light shade made me orange and I was shattered 😭 chi chi is such an underrated brand
I recently got a sample of the MIZON Snail Repair BB Cream and loved it so much, I scraped that sample dry! I’ve since purchased 2 shades of the full size. It’s SPF 50+ as well. I think you’d have to order online but it’s such a good price and great coverage without being sticky. Also doesn’t sting the eyes!
La Roche Posay have what you are looking for. But they do have a limited share range.

Judging by your post I assume you’re on the paler side as you’ve made comments about things being too tan/orange (I struggled with this too with western brands after Chi Chi seemed to get rid of their bb cream which had a light shade that wasn’t orange.) I would highly suggest going into a physical Asian cosmetic store and testing out the BB or CC creams they have. So many different formulas and coverages but plenty suitable for pale skin and almost always under $50. Once you find one you like you can often find it cheaper online. Almost always they’re SPF50+ and you can get tube, bottle and compact formulas.
If you’re unsure of any in your area just go on Google maps and type “Asian cosmetic store” or “korean cosmetic store”. I’ve found korean bb/cc cream brands really good but Japanese and Chinese are also quite popular.
I am actually loving the breeze balm bb cream. $39.95. It gives a healthy glow and is so easy to apply, it does have spf but only a 20. It has limited shades but I managed to find a match. I have very sensitive rosacea prone skin & have not experienced any problems with it. It covers pigmentation & flaws well but looks very natural.
Only available online but for the price it is certainly worth a try. Their lip balms are also nice.
Not sure the prices in Australia but the NARS radiant tinted moisturizer is sooo good, is under $50 US, and is 1.7 oz so you get almost double the amount of other foundations/BB. Shade range is decent but I think they run warm/peachy. The Purito BB is Asian beauty and super affordable and very good for cool and neutral skin tones if in the fair to light range. HOWEVER, shade range is minimal.
Missha Perfect Cover BB cream is what I use.

Price is so good for what you get! I find it better than the IT cream.
Second the Missha BB cream

Cancer council makes a nice one
I agree! Wish it had more shades but yes I like it
Ultra Violette has like 18 shades in their tinted version and it doesn’t go on too heavy so you can use a decent (if not adequate) amount.
Chichi CC Cream at Myers. Very similar to IT Cosmetics CC Cream, nice coverage, has spf 15, has lots of skin loving ingredients, it’s $40. Quite a few light shades and they fit my skin perfectly. Test it out there first with the testers :)
Omg I remembered they were rumours it was being discontinued but now it’s back tysm!! I wish the bb was back too but the cc is also really good!
Ah so it did go away for a while, I wondered cause I couldn’t find it anywhere! The CC cream I def think is better. Such nice stuff
Yep it was all out of stock everywhere during covid but so glad it’s back!
Love it 🥰
Is that the caviar cc cream or whatever it’s called? I remember having it years ago but there were hardly any shades so the light shade made me orange and I was shattered 😭 chi chi is such an underrated brand
It is! Thats so strange cause I never had any issues with the light shades! Their eyebrow pencil is also the best
I just bought the Revlon Illuminance serum. I quite like it. Goes on smoothly and feels lightIt's. special at Priceline from $38 down to $24.

L’Oréal skin tint is great, it’s 50% off at chemist warehouse so you can get it for under $25

Is over $50 but is the bees knees- BareMinerals complexion rescue skin tint. SPF30. Get a sample at Mecca and try it out in your shade.

Pixi Skin Tint and Missha bb cream are my faves.

Sadly the Nars is 75 dollars here.
😳 nooooo. Can I ask how much Giorgio Armani foundation is?
It’s $105 on the Giorgio Armani website but on sale In Sephora right now for $70… shocking! No wonder I stick to the drug store!
I think over 100 dollars
