BB creams

    Hi all!

    I'm intrigued about BB creams! I'm wondering does anyone have any recommendations? I'm thinking a BB cream could be good alternative to foundation on days when I still want a bit of coverage but don't want to do a full face of makeup if you know what I mean :).

    I don't tend to have blemishes, but I am on the rosy side, i'm also very pale skinned.

    Any recommendations/advice?


    Thanks :)

    I have the Garnier one, and it makes me so oily.. I picked up a La Roche Posay tinted moisturiser for €8 the other day for sensitive skin (I don't have sensitive skin but it was half price!) and it's the business.. can't say much for other BB Creams but I find they are the wrong colour for paler girls and aren't great if you get oily in the office from heating, like me :(

    I only posted up about this today, I'm very pale, Skin79 is my BB Cream of choice, it's fab!

    MAC's BB Cream is also very nice!

    The one from 17 is meant to be decent as well:)

    I'm in love with my estee Lauder BB cream, gives totally natural coverage!

    Every brand seems to have a BB cream out now anyways a good tinted moisturiser does the trick better imo

    I use the Garnier one most days as I don't wear foundation unless I am going out. It's nice my skin is normal dry so it's good as doesn't dry out my skin

    Good cheap tinted moisturiser will do the trick as good as a dear BB cream

    Does anyone know what the colours in the Estée Lauder bb Cream are like? I can't get into town ATM to try but I was thinking I might buy online. However in debenhams online there only seems to be two shades. Are either suitable for the pale faced?:)

    They're not the same- a BB cream has fuller coverage than a tinted moisturiser but not as much as most foundations. I find they're longer lasting than TM's

    What "good cheap tinted moisturiser" are you referring to here and which dear BB cream are you pitting this tinted moisturiser against? I'd be interested to hear what brands you've tried cos for me there's a world of difference between, say, nivea tinted moisturiser and estee Lauder's bb cream.

    Hi,

    I'm using the 01 light shade, I'm pretty pale, about NC20-25, suits me fine! Is there no other places near you that sell EL? As much as I love that bb cream, I'd be wary enough of buying stuff like foundations etc without having tested them first?
