Best BB creams?
27 posts, 20 members
I absolutely LOVE Mac BB cream. It just looks like my skin but better. You can also build the coverage on it. I use medium so I'm not sure how pale the lighter colours are. If you can get to a Mac counter, ask for a sample. The one I got had enough goes in it to give me a good idea if I would like it. I've also had a sample of Oasis' BB cream and I like that almost as much. I would get that if I couldn't stretch as far as the Mac one as it's not cheap for a BB at $64.
This is the one product I've struggled with! I've tried sooo many, Lioele, Garnier, MAC etc and none ever work with my crazy dry anti-everything skin. So I took the plunge and purchased the Napoleon one today as it was 30% off and looked like the most hydrating thing ever on my hand, it's quite sheer coverage, but that's what I'm after, for days I don't want to layer on the foundation. I shall be reporting on my findings in due course!
I think the problem is sometimes we ask the BB cream to do something that a CC cream or foundation is better to do, hence why so many people find it hard to find one that works for them. In regards to BB creams the best I have ever used is Korean based ones as they really do have the formula and shade down correctly (if you are fair/light and medium anyway)
If you problem with BB creams is that they don't cover enough fully, then you might need a foundation, if your problem is that it isn't covering discolourations or redness then you need a CC cream (CC = Colour Corrector) that balances out the skin tone. There is multiple articles and past threads on BB creams, CC creams and foundations with what suits what requirement. Have a nosey around =) oh and also check out the reviews on BB creams already on the site

Haha thanks Sarahbeautynz. I had a feeling that may be the case. And seeing a few of you mention oasis, I remembered I've had the munroe bb cream from there and if you can justify spending much that on a bb cream it's a really nice one. But after I finished mine I ended up just going back to my foundation because it worked just as well and was half the price (although it wasn't organic unfortunately).
My problem with BB creams is that I have oily skin and they seem to make it worse, even with primer and powder. I thought I had found the answer with Max Factor CC cream and it did last a little longer (looked really nice too) but I still got all oily. I just wanted something for "normal" days rather than my Revlon Colourstay which takes a bit of elbow grease to remove!
I haven't tryed a cc cream! I will look into it! I have heard alot about the oasis bb creams and the za hydration one too! Haven't looked into the chi chi one before. I requested and picked up a sample today of the Body Shop all in one bb cream today to try! Gonna give it a go and see if i like it. It starts out white and apparently adjusts to your skin tone so i'm interested to see how that works! :)
