BB Cream

[tiney]

Hey ladies, I know this community isn't as active as it used to be but I know you're out there.  Anyone have any experience with BB cream? Blemish cream? Beauty cream? What are your favorite brands?  I know it's been popular with the Asians for the past five years or so. Just looking for any thoughts. Thanks!

Not all BB Creams are created equal. Some are as sheer as tinted moisturizers but there are others out there that do offer better coverage. Even the ones that give me medium/full coverage make my skin look way healthier than any foundation. My face looks fresh and dewy and not covered up.

Missha Perfect Cover comes in a wide range of shades and is also a strong sunblock. The coverage is great, too, and I find it to be layerable. This one is my favorite.
Lioele also has medium to full coverage but this one makes me break out really bad. So, if you have sensitive acne-prone skin, I'd avoid it. The color is way more natural and looks REALLY good as a foundation.
I've tried Skin79 Beblesh Balm and I wasn't impressed. It's ashy, doesn't give good coverage and it made me break out.
Enprani S,Claa Alive Blemish Recover is another favorite but you can only get it through Gmarket. It's also on the paler side but not dull and grey, just bright. It makes my skin look so dewy and healthy. Its healing powers seem real, too and not just gimmicky.

I haven't tried any of the western brands but, from what I hear, they're just glorified tinted moisturizers. I've also tried Miracle Skin Transformer, which I guess could be included in the BB Cream category, but it feels like those greasy dry silicone primers (like Smashbox or Monistat Chafing Relief gel) and I hate that feeling.
