Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB Cream

This is a great BB cream. The texture is creamy and is easy to smooth over the face with your fingers. It instantly brightens and evens out my skin tone, covering redness and minor pimples well. For other imperfections, such as big pimples, concealer is needed to fully cover them. The coverage is natural and light, and surprisingly lasts the whole day without fading. I am very fair with a cool undertone so I used the 'fair' colour. It is ever-so slightly too dark for me... but it warms up my skin and looks very natural, so it's not a problem.

This was my first ever voyage into the world of BB creams it left my skin with a soft veil of glitter that kind of made my face look sweaty, I guess it was trying to achieve the dewy sheer look, I'm more of a matte finish girl. the addition of translucent powder helped but melted away during the day.

The packaging is cute in an easy to use tube which means you should get every last drop out of it, and cost wise its very reasonable, however as I stated I prefer a matte finish so I wouldn't purchase again due to that, but would recommend to others

The biggest problem I had with this is that it was too runny, and it went on the skin quite sheer. I didn't notice much difference at all to my complexion after I applied it. It definitely does not do what it claims to do. Doesn't really even out the skin tone or provide much coverage. The watery consistency put me off using it again. Also, the shade range is very very limited. Disappointing!

I used this on a daily basis for most of summer - I love that it provided a little bit of coverage on days I didn't want to wear make-up. It was easy to just chuck on as I was running out the door - no fuss, light, fresh and not much could go wrong (like foundation lines etc). I have since moved on to creams like this, just ones that provide a bit more coverage and SPF 30. But it is a good product to start with.

I find this a good natural day product. On days when I dont really want anything on my face, but feel I need a bit of colour. I like the texture of this its a slightly thin consistency, im not a big fan of super thick creams so this is perfect for me. Blends in nicely and is an overall good productfor my skin.

I was very excited about trying out this bb cream as all of the others i had tried were always too dark for my pale skin. While the palest colour was a little orangey, it was a close match to my skin.

I love the idea of having a bb cream when i cant be bothered with the routine of foundation and just being able to pop it one to even out my skin tone. Unfortunately this doesn't even do that. It is extremely thin and runny (and being in a squeezy tube does not work, it just drips and run's out of the opening, no squeezing needed). It gives no coverage at all, almost felt like i was putting water on my face. No shaking made any difference. It also left me with what looks like a shimmery glitter on my skin, i noticed this on my hand when i first swatched it.

I tried letting the first coat dry and then apply another to try and build the coverage but the two layers seemed to separate from each other and leave what i can only describe as pools of liquid on my skin.

I brought this product as I wanted something light on my face for the days I don't feel like wearing makeup but still want coverage. I did like this product and it looked nice on my skin, my skin felt really soft and velvety. I use mine straight on skin and add a translucent powder on top so it lasts longer. I would buy tis product again however would tell people to be mindful of what they wanted the product for. This would be great as a primer for foundation rather than on its own. I think summer would be the perfect time for this product.

I really liked the end result, but found I couldnt touch my face without it being on my fingers! Great for a natural look

When i first put this on my face it looked super dark for my pale skin but after some decent blending in it looked great,I don't like to wear foundation everyday as most days i am just home with my son so this is perfect for me quick n easy light coverage look toned down my redness alot and looked pretty natural its not amazing but pretty good i can see myself using this quite abit.

I recently got this in the mail to try and was pretty sceptical especially as I used to use Garnier BB Cream. This is a lovely BB Cream. Don't get me wrong the Garnier one was okay, but the Maybelline one is so much nicer, gives a better coverage, and I feel like I'm not wearing anything at all. I love it. A must have for anyones makeup necessities :-)
