Used this with the revlon primer today the translucent photo ready powder and photo ready consealer the light / pale shade is fairly light enough as long as you blend so theres no orangey lines it oxidation is very slight on my skin. This bb cream is fairly thick and it moisturizers. It also has a good spf sunscreen in it too. It can blur flaws but the coverage is not like a good foundation its sheer and light. It is not very buildable either. Your natural rosy cheeks and red blemishes will still shine through or you need to conseal. The feeling is creamyish would be good for dry skin if your oily you would not need to moisturize as it has one built in. I set it with powder as i used a little day cream and the primer and although the primer said antishine the bb cream did look shiny and dewy so the powder helped mattify. The makeup didnt last very well though by late afternoon my face had absorbed alot of it leaving my face looking patchy. If you want a light to medium coverage bb cream that hydrates this could be for you

Reviews
I must say,this product is good for concealing and coverage, although it is a tad oily for my skin.It does however glide on quite smoothly and you don't really need a moisteriser underneath or primer. This product stays on for quite a while and gives you a nice flawless look without using too much.Overall,it's pretty good but probably not the best for oily skin.
Tips: A little goes a long way!
Made my skin oily throughout the day, was not ideal for my oil skin. Would not buy again , it was too pale for me and ugh.
I am a long term Revlon user. However I have to say the this product has not impressed me to the level that Revlon products usually do. I have found that there is not a lot of coverage, even for a BB cream and it is a little oily. Still the positives of it are that it given the very light coverage you get it is good for under foundation wear ,preventing too much colour
Tips: If you have oily skin I would think twice about using this product alone
This is my first BB cream I've used and my thoughts were it's Revlon it's gotten be good. But a nah on a application instantly skin feels and looks Shiney and seems like I need to put primer on but being new to BB cream I thought it was meant to be more a moisturizer. How this got me wrong. It's more like a foundation that needs tl be applied with tools and not your hands. I put it on top of my moisturizer which could be the reason why it's oily looking. I do like the colour match I just wish I didn't have to put so much work into application . The bottle is so so and it looks as if there's a lot of product to last my summer. There is no unpleasant smell from this product.
Tips: Perhaps would work better with a sponge or beauty blender and perhaps primer first.
This BB cream is surprisingly thick and heavy -- I definitely wouldn't describe it as 'light'! The cream comes reluctantly out of the tube, I have to give it a really good squeeze!
The coverage is fine, though a little on the chalky side. I'm a pale redhead with freckles, and I find this cream to be a bit too pale for my face.
It requires a lot of blending when applying. I find it easiest to apply it immediately after moisturising for best result.
I do really love that it's SPF 30 rather than just 15, and I'll probably use this on harsh summer days!
Tips: Definitely test it out in a shop -- you may have to go a shade darker than usual.
I picked this up recently at Farmers for $30 as I was on the hunt for a fabulous new BB cream. Sadly this was not it.
I got the light/medium shade which seemed right for me at the shop, but actually turned out to be slightly too dark - I should have gone with the lightest shade.
I find that the product is quite strange when I apply it, it is quite thick and does not absorb or blend very well at all. It seems to more sit on top of my skin and when I try to blend it in it seems to just get pushed around.
It also made my skin quite oily which is uncommon for me as my skin tends to be more dry.
Overall I am disappointed with this product and wish I had not paid full price for it.
Am a BB cream lover from way back. I thought that I'd try this one and Ibwas sadly disappointed. The packaging looked good, the price was reasonable and I was feeling generous. I wish I'd tried a tester first as it is very runny and all day felt oily on my skin. My mascara stuck to it and smudged etc and it just wasn't the nicest product. I hate giving a not so nice review but this just didn't satisfy me. I'll try something else.
I read the reviews and thought this would be a good one to try. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. It separates easily and I need to shake it vigorously for it to come out slightly curdled. Sometimes when I forget to shake it, I'd open it and get oil all over my carpet or clothes, very unimpressed! The coverage isn't that great and would not buy it again.
I like this well enough for casual days but it does leave me a little oily and doesn't last long, it also goes orange after a while so be sure to keep the cap on and check you face in natural light to ensure it is the right colour.
Tips: Really need to set with a powder!
