Hey
I just wanted to start a topic on these amazing BB and CC creams. I used to shy away from the first lot of bb creams released in the UK like the Garnier one, as I thought it would just make my skin more oily and not do much in the way of coverage. However since being introduced to the amazing Korean BB market I am amazed at how well these creams cover, moisturise and keep my skin matt all at the same time! I had always heard of Korean bb creams but didn't pay much attention until I started watching Elaine Mokk's youtube channel where she often does reviews on different bb creams for acne/scarring coverage.
In my opinion a good BB cream blurs my redness and scarring much better than any foundation I have used, foundation seems to look good at first but I find it can often settle into any fine lines and acne scars and can end up looking cakey. Where as the BB cream seems to blur all these imperfections while keeping my skin looking plump and healthy. Some also have added benefits such as lightening red marks and obviously keeping skin more youthful. Some I have tried and loved
Lioele Dollish CC Cream - a white cream that adapts to your skin tone as you apply it, really good coverage, would be best for drier skin types and you need a little bit of setting powder to mattify more oily areas.
Skin 79 hot pink bb cream - tis is the one I am currently using, goes on amazingly well, I apply with my fingers or with a beauty blender(for more coverage) this cream keeps my skin matt through out the day and I have been getting loads of compliments since using it. I do set with a powder but it is totally up to you I would be comfortable just going out with this alone
Lioele triple solution bb cream - I have only used this one once as I love the skin 79 one so much but will keep you all posted
I live in the uk and have found a great UK based retailer online who does a range of the Korean BB creams, not a sales pitch, I can't even remember the name off the tops of my head but there are loads of other international shippers you can get them from.
Anyways I just wanted to share what has been working for me and see if anyone else has had any success with these
