This was a staple of mine 10 years ago when I lived on the humid Gold Coast! So it was a bit nostalgic to be wearing it again. I think it's a great formula for summer, especially if you're on the normal/dry end. The shade I got was a bit too warm and deep for me. I'm a cool neutral so I was looking a bit like an oompa loompa haha. It definitely oxidises quite a bit too. When its first out of the tube it was almost my perfect shade but definitely got darker and warmer within a few minutes. It's very light coverage. I would say it's more effective at evening out your skin tone rather than providing any coverage. It has a natural but almost dewy finish which gives you a healthy looking glow. It's very lightweight. I kept forgetting I was wearing it - which wasn't all good news because it does transfer! So be wary of that.
All in all its a great, affordable option for those wanting a comfortable, lightweight and sheer formula for easy, everyday wear. I just applied like a moisturiser and added more where I needed extra coverage.
I love BB creams, the lightweight feel, low coverage and flawless finish are always perfect for any occasion. This BB cream has all of those things, and more!
I found the product easy to apply, and it's not too hard to use a small bit and blend out with your fingers to get a nice streak-free coverage. My only issue is that the medium was a bit too dark for my light-medium skin. I did manage to make it work by not using too much but it definitely doesn't colour adjust so beware of that if you want more coverage.
I love the way that this BB cream is SPF 50! Of course you won't be applying enough to get the full benefits of the SPF value but I use it over sunscreen and every bit you use helps to keep you sun safe.
The vitamin C and antioxidants make this an excellent skincare/makeup fusion and are definitely perfect for summer where you really need a bit of extra antioxidant protection from sun damage!
Overall, I am enjoying using this BB cream and will buy it again in a lighter shade to see if that suits me better!
Tips: Apply with your fingertips, starting where you need the most coverage and blending out from there to get a nice even look!
