BB Creams

There seems to be this BB Cream craze going on around. It seams like every week a make up company is brining out another amazing BB Cream that claims to get rid of wrinkles and cure ance. Let's be real, none of this is true. So what is a BB Cream? Basically its a repackage tinted moisturiser with a bit more coverage and in some cases higher SPF. At least thats what the Western BB Creams are, I can't really say anything about the Asian once, since I haven't tried them. Ok straight to the point, I absolutely freaking love BB creams, I think they are amazing just for an everyday wear. Personally they give me just enough coverage, evening out my skin tone and covering minor imperfections. Also they are great for the days when I need to leave house really quickly and I don't have even a minute to do my make up. Days like this I literally spray my face with some toner, apply my BB cream, fill in my eyebrows with a pencil and I'm good to go. I find that on days when my skin feels normal or bit oily I can use just the BB Cream without using any moisturiser under it or powder over it and my skin looks flawless. I have to admit that I only tried three BB Creams.

The first one was the Garnier BB Cream however I only tried it out in the store on the back of my hand and decided to stay away from it as far as possible. Why? Because of the horrible orange colour and the weird scent. No thank you!!!

17 BB Creams has to be one my favourite make up products of all times simply because it gives a very nice medium but very natural coverage. Also unlike other BB Creams or tinted moisturisers I find that it has a very nice thick texture, but not too thick, its really easy to apply and it actually sits on the skin rather then absorb completely, however it still looks like I have nothing on and it gives this blurred smooth effect on the skin. Its really hard to explain but it just makes you look flawless.

No7 Beautiful Skin BB Cream for Dry Skin...hmm, I have used this for about 3-4 months now and I still have very mixed feelings about it. One day it just looks amazing and the next day it looks very oily in my t-zone and dry and chalky everywhere else. I think thats due to the light creamy texture. If you have any dry skin bits this will make them show which can be very annoying. Coverage wise, it gives a very natural medium coverage, like it covers any redness on my cheeks but it dosen't cover my post ance hyperpigmentation. Also this comes in three versions for Dry/Very Dry, Normal/Dry and Normal/Oily skin

Just one more thing, both the No7 and 17 BB creams will flash back in photography because they have SPF 15 in them.
