This foundation is my new favourite. It covers but also leaves my face looking and feeling natural and smooth as if I am not wearing any foundation at all. It is also good for your skin providing you with 8 great skin benefits. I love how fresh and light it feels and it also looks great!
BB Cream is a big makeup craze in Asia (with men too!), and it's quickly spreading to the West. Created by German dermatologist, Dr. Christine Schrammek in the 50s, to protect and heal skin after laser surgeries, it eventually gained popularity in Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia and is now hitting markets in Europe and the US.
"BB," short for Blemish Balm, is sold as an all-in-one beauty cream. Depending on the formula you buy, it works as a moisturizer, primer, foundation and sunblock with anti-aging effects. Reportedly, the cream feels lightweight and looks completely natural. It covers skin imperfections and gives you a radiant and dewy appearance. Plus, BB cream absorbs into the skin for a matte finish. Overtime, the product is supposed to improve your skin, making it smoother and minimizing some of the signs of aging with it's anti-inflammatory properties.
Asian brands include Missha, The Face Shop, Skin79 and Etude House.
Dior, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Garnier, L'Oreal and Dr. Jart are amoung the first Western companies to launch BB creams. With Smashbox, Maybelline, Marcelle and others following.
Sounds promising, doesn't it? I'm always looking for multi-taskers. Sunblock with a matte finish ... of course!!! I don't even wear foundation, but hey, if you can't feel it, and cosmetic companies want to throw that in too ... fine.

I just bought this BB cream (it's the first time using a BB cream). So far, I think it's pretty good. It's very easy to apply and you can easily build-up the coverage if you need to. I also like that it has an SPF 30...thats very important! It lasts fairly long throughout the day. I do have to still use a concealer around my eyes and nose area because the BB cream just doesn't cover as much there as I would like. I can't compare it to any other ones but it seems to be pretty good.
I LOVE LOVE this stuff and even had a ton of people say how great my skin looks. For a drug store BB cream its great. Makes my skin so soft and silky feeling.
OMG this is the most amazing product I have ever tried....Both me and my daughter can use the same tube and we both get amazing results, even tho she is very fair with alot of freckles and I am medium skin toned..it helps blend in her freckles and acne and gives her a fresh faced appearance, and my self it helps blend in my facial scars, almost makes them unnoticeable.....
Totally amazing product
I just bought the Maybelline BB Cream the other day I put it on the first day and loved it. It made my face appear less red and even coloured. Even after washed it off before bed i skin felt soft. I wear it everyday and don't know how I lived without it.
And it was a very good value.
I just purchased this product with a $4 coupon from Flare Magazine. The cost is a little high for me but the product does what it says. The coverage is great and it doesn't irritate my skin. The tone is right for my skin color.
i paid 9.00 at walmart but saw it for 13.00 at shopper's. price fair at walmart but not shopper's. maybe my eyesight is not what it used to be as i age but i did not think there was anything spectacular about this product. light, usual coverage.
