Hey all! I'm looking to lighten my makeup for summer. I have issues finding one that matches my yellow/golden undertone though. They all end up looking pinkish. I have decent skin but I'm looking for light-moderate coverage! And I have a tendency to be oily. Any suggestions would be helpful!

I also have a very yellow undertone and haven't found a BB Cream that matches my skin perfectly. The closest match was with the Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Mouisturizer, although it made me look a little bit greasy. I haven't tried their matte version because it seemed to settle in fine lines and accentuate pores.

What I use on daily basis and does not look too pink, is the Garnier BB cream for oily/combo skin. It helps a little bit with oil control.

I personally am more uptight about formula when it comes to BB creams. I haven't come across any formula that's matched my skintone and I have this issue with foundations not being yellow/olive most the time.

That being said, I just use a pigment, usually a matte green-yellow. I use this on golden peach shades and it'll tone down the pinkish tones and makes the color more yellow/golden.
You could also use a color correcting concealer mixed with it or any number of products that come in a warm green hue.

Anyway, as far as BB cream for oily skin. I quite like the MAC Lightful Tinted cream. I've been liking a lot of the products in this line. The BB/CC cream works great on oily skin and gives a subtle glow, lasts great on oily skin and I find the coverage to be light to medium depending on how you apply it

Garnier BB cream in light definitely has yellow undertone (it isn't super light though). Loreal CC creams are great because they correct to your skin tone - you can get different ones to address your skin isssues e.g. There's in for anti-redness, anti-dullness etc. I love loreal CC creams!!
