    Full coverage

    This product is effective for full coverage, and is great for sensitive skin. It does go on thick, and you can feel it on your skin but it looks a lot more natural then most full coverage products I have used in the past. I would recommend it for people wanting to even out skin tone and hide blemishes.

    Well I had super high hopes for this product as I had read so many great reviews and also that this is as close you a Korean BB cream as it gets. Well it just didn't work for me, my skin is a little oily and no matter what primer or no primer I became super oily ½ wait threw the day. When first applied it looks so great, covers dark spots pretty good and blends really well. But like I said in a few hours I'm “glowing” in a not so good way. Love the pump packing on a squeeze bottle. Helps keep everything fresh and air tight. For light-med shade it's actually not that dark and was perfect for my “summer” skin. I typically still am a “light” shade during the summer but this was just right, except again with the oil seeping out I think it would also then oxide cause at the end of the day it would looks really dark on my skin. So I don't know if it's the SPF that's doing something odd to my skin. The cream is a great consistency, not to liquid or a thick cream and has no scent!

    For a western bb cream, this is one of the best ones. This is not particularly mattifying, but it is a good basic starter bb cream/tinted moisturizer. I find this to be a buildable light to medium coverage, and the color is light for me, but it is very moisturizing, and the smell is non-offensive, but present. For this to last any amount of time, this does need to be set with powder. I really like the packaging, as there is a pump, in addition to a lid, so it is very sanitary, and prevents accidental drips like with squeeze tubes.

    There are many BB creams out there but the one thing I like about this cream is that it is SPF 20 so I don't have to apply sun protection cream also. The only thing I don't like is that it says it is for medium to dark skin but it still seems too light for me to wear alone.

    I used some different brands of BB cream and this Marchelle one is working quite well, It doesn't make my skin whiter and looks very natural on my skin.

    I tried applying and blending several brands of BB creams in-store, and chose the Marcelle Anti-Aging BB Cream because it applies well. Rather than sitting on top of the skin like a mask, this cream is absorbed so your skin feels more hydrated and less smothered.
    As far as coverage goes, it does about what I'd expect from a BB. It blends well to even your complexion, masking any slight inconsistencies. I use a little concealer on blemishes before applying the BB if I want better coverage. Not suitable for full-coverage by any means, but it's great for those days when you just don't want to go out bare-faced or don't have time for your full makeup routine. Tip: dabbing it on and spreading it by patting the pads of your fingers in the area gives better coverage than rubbing it in.
    I love that this cream has an SPF of 20 (not sure about the regular version). I cannot comment on the effectiveness of the "anti-aging" properties, but I like that they're in there (may as well get ahead of the game). The consistency of the cream is a little thin, but not so much so that it's difficult to apply. It can be applied with a sponge of brush, but I prefer to just use my fingers.
    I dislike a few things about this Marcelle BB. First, there are only 2 colour options (I suppose this is reflective of the fact that BB creams seem to be more for skin care, rather than makeup). That being said, the shade I chose (light to medium) does match my skin well. I also have complaints about the pump - it is a little hard to control. I usually dispense my makeup little-by-little, as I move around my face, but it is difficult to get just a tiny amount of cream from this pump so it's easier to do one pump (or partial-pump, as my case may be), to get what you need for the whole job.
    Price-wise... this is a more expensive for a drugstore option (regularly about $29 at Shoppers). I was patient and waited for it to go on sale, and got it for about $22 at London Drugs - plus bonus mascara. Score!

    I use this a few times a week and and happy with it. I will buy it again - on sale :)
