Now I am a girl who loves buying foundations, I have so many but find sometimes a lighter coverage is a nice change, and is perfect for any season.
I love using a BB cream or a 'Beauty Balm' when I just want my skin to be able to breathe a lot more or if I'm having a good skin day. I love how easy to apply a BB cream is compared to a foundation as foundations can be quite thick and sometimes a little hard to blend especially with no makeup brushes or tools to use!
I thought I would show you my two favourite BB creams so far that I have tried. I have two more BB creams but I feel like these two are my little gems. I will now get on to telling you why!
The Body Shops All in one BB Cream
I love the fact that this is colour a adapting BB cream, although only to some extent as you have to pick out of 3/4 shades anyway! But it comes out like a white liquid consistency, it's easy to blend and looks light on my skin, like I'm wearing nothing at all, but I love how this is and it looks so luminous and really adds a glow to my skin. It is very light coverage, to me anyway and I feel like you may need to use a concealer if you want extra coverage, this is usually my preference and it looks lovely and is a nice change if you want something light and easy to apply. Mine is in the colour '01'
Buy it here at The Body Shop
Maybelline Dream Pure BB cream for oily skin
I think this one is the thicker of the two BB creams, it feels like it to me, if I want a bit more coverage than the body shop one or one that suits my skin with a tan better it would be this one haha! although it won't be the right shade for me this autumn/winter so I think I will be using the Body shop one a lot more! But This one gives a bit more coverage over spots or other imperfections, so if you want a better coverage one it would be this one. It covers all of my small blemishes but a concealer may also be someone else's preference with this one too depending on the coverage you'd like. My particular shade here is in 'Medium'
Buy it here at Boots
I love BB creams and I will be using these a lot throughout all seasons of the year! I recommend them to people who may only need a little bit of coverage on their skin, or if you're just starting out with makeup and want to try a foundation but may not want something as thick and heavy.
What is your favourite BB cream?!
