Question on Skin 79 BB creams?

I know everyone raves about this so I got a sample set on Amazon... 4 little tubes of 4 of the different kinds.

I tried them all out and they all seem WAY too light for my skin.
Now I am no dark skinned beauty, that is for sure.
I am actually pretty darn pale!
Not like ivory, but definitely fair skinned.
And yet, all of these looked like some kind of mime makeup on me... like ghostly white.. I looked dead!

Is it just me? Are these genearlly for very fair skinned people only?
I mean I tried all 4- not one matched my skin tone.

This.

I also put bare minerals makeup on top of it so I find that helps.

I am fair skinned and use the one in the pink bottle. Looks a little grey at first but then it blends right into my skin...

Re: Question on Skin 79 BB creams?

I think they just dont work on my skin. Like most things it just accenuates my awful pores and sinks into them.
I dont know when I am going to learn that I am not going to find anything better than the Garnier BB cream for my skin. I love it but keep looking for the next best thing. I waste all this money and nothing else works for me!

Honestly, I was so excited to try these and they haven't thrilled me. I've tried both gold and pink.

I like Garnier, but if I feel like I need a little more coverage, the Smashbox BB cream is great.
