BB cream suggestions? (normal to dry skin)

Hello, wondering if any of the more knowledgeable posters here have any recommendations for my next BB cream to try. I've tried Skin79's Hot Pink and Diamond Prestige and Lioele's Triple Solution. As stated in the title, I have normal, non-acne-prone skin, which can tend toward dry and flaky if I use too many products formulated for oily skin.

I preferred the lighter coverage and spreadable texture of Skin79 Hot Pink, but it was a still too pale/gray on me even after oxidizing (Diamond Prestige had similar coloring). The Lioele was a better color match (might be a bit too pink), but I don't like the texture as much and the coverage is a bit too heavy for me.

Any ideas on what I should look into next?

Try the Etude House Precious Mineral Bright fit - it has a yellowy undertone and there are 4 different shades so you can pick the one that matches best for you. It has medium coverage though. I use this one and I have normal skin - works fairly well for me. I mix in a little bit of moisturiser when I want to sheer it out a little. I've also read that the Holika holika aqua petit is pretty good. From what I've read it has a yellowy base and coverage is quite sheer.

Thanks, I found the review of it that was posted here a while back, seems promising.

I find a lot of people who like skin 79 hot pink but don't like the grey often enjoy the Skin79 orange.

I also can't stop recommending Etude House Precious Mineral BB (comes in 4 colors). Sometimes it is too much for my oily skin even with powder but it LOOKS great (one of the best color tones I've used was n 02 light beige) and also I think it would be flattering on dry skin.

I was looking around and found a Etude House Precious Mineral BB Sun, which a lot like the regular Precious Mineral line with the colors and everything, but is slightly more expensive and has SPF 50/PA+++. Do you know if that's similar?

I grabbed some samples off Ebay so I can see how they work on me.

I haven't tried that one myself, but many people on this sub totally have, ask around! I hope the samples are good, let us know what you think of it when you get them~ ^ _ ^

Lioele Water Drop BB cream is a good one, also Etude House has a couple that come in darker shades that are really good as well.

I find that Boscia BB Cream is really lovely :D Although I would say it has medium coverage.
