BB cream has a tendency to blend into most skintones after an hr or so. Hence it usually comes in 1 or 2 shades and should suit most fair to medium girls. I'm between a medium fair girl. usually the 2nd or 3rd fairest shade in foundations will suit me as my skin is pretty asian yellow. luckily, most bb creams suits me. Probably except for Hanskin and Feverlet as i heard they are suitable to NC15-20. All the oil control verdict is based on the application of the respective BB cream and MAC loose powder or Chacott loose powder.
SkinFood Gingko Green BB cream
Shade: #2. Suits me well. Medium coverage.
Look: Non-matte and gives a healthy glow.
Oil Control: No oil control for me. Face turns oily 2-3 hrs after applying this. Have to use Skinfood white grape makeup fixer to control the oil. If i don't, makeup simply oxidises, turns oily and once i blot, everything is gone. Got this in SG store for SGD34.80 iirc. My 1st bb cream.
SkinFood Aloe Sun BB Cream SPF 20 PA+
Shade: #1. A little fair for me. People says yellow-toned girls should use #1, so i got this shade. Blends in after a while coz as i said, bb creams can 'adapt' to your skintone.
Look: Non-matte but not as glowy as Gingko. Medium coverage.
Oil Control: Good, but not great. Face turns oily but not as bad as when i was using Gingko. Use white grape makeup fixer and makeup last a lot longer. Believed this is fragranced because it smells so aloe and nice! Best smelling bb cream i ever owned. Got this in KL for like SGD24 in Jan 08. Will consider getting a backup...if i run out of it.
dodo club BB Cream
Shade: Came through as a darker shade, probably coz the texture is pretty thick. But no issues with blendability for me. Spreading a thin layer and I get medium-high coverage. Suits my skintone too. Go easy on the quantity u squeeze out at a time. Really need very little for this.
Look: Non-matte, not glowy either. Just evens out skintone.
Oil Control: Oil control is pretty good when i use it with chacott professional loose powder. I don't reach out for this bb cream much because i read it contains mineral oil. However, because it's less than $18 and there is 60ml of product, i bought it. Although it says it contains sun care, there is no stated SPF on it. So i still wear sunblock with it.
Remarks: actually, this is the only bb cream i want to sell off and is listed on my sale list now. I won't recommend this bb cream...since i've tried better ones.
Scandal Magic BB Cream
Shade: Dark and grayish. But upon application, doesn't gives a contrasting shade against my neck. Seems to blend in well surprisingly after half hour. This will probably be able to suit NC35 and above as well.
Look: Absolutely no dewy, radiant look. Does even out skintone but note it may still make your face look dull because of the dark gray shade.
Oil Control: Fantastic. Of all my bb creams, this has the best oil control and i like wearing this even though it doesn't brighten up my complexion. Oddly, i feel that it smells like laundry detergent. But this doesn't bother me. 50ml for abt $16 at sasa.
Coogi flowertox 3action super BB Cream SPF25 PA++
Shade: Slight pinkish tone. Perfect match for me! boyfriend thought i'm not wearing any makeup. Medium coverage.
Look: Slightly dewy, very natural.
Oil Control: Great! Pretty decent compared to Scandal. Just perhaps not as good as Scandal by a wee bit. Use White grape makeup fixer and makeup will last the whole day. No issues!
Remarks: This is my favourite BB cream of the lot. Nice fragrance and blends perfectly! I can even skip sunblock when i wear this. This is the only bb cream i will want to repurchase. In fact, i'm looking for a backup already. Wouldn't want to run out of it. I think this is one BB Cream everyone who wears bb cream should own! I have this in 30ml. It's available in 50ml. Not avail. in SG, made in Korea. I really LOVE this bb cream!
SKIN79 dermaRX whitening Beblesh balm SPF 15
Shade: Slightly dark, yellow-tone, suits me well, not perfect. Low medium coverage. Spreads very thinly as the consistency is quite runny compared to other bb creams which are more towards creamy.
Look: Slightly matte. No dewy, radiant look.
Oil Control: Ok. Not bad..so-so. I think this contains tea tree oil from what i read online. Has a medicinal tea tree oil smell. It's more watery than any BB cream i ever tried and dries fast, so fingers got to be fast in blending when applying this bb cream.
Remarks: Had tried to put this on salelist before as i wasn't impressed with this. But decided to retract as it's not too bad a bb cream. Good for times when i feel lazy to put on sunblock or have raging pimples. Got it $34.80 from yahoo auctions. Not avail. in SG, made in Korea.
Etude House Magic BB Cream SPF30 PA++
Shade: looks a little more bisque and orangy than other bb creams. low coverage. spreads thinly as well. Same consistency with SkinFood aloe.
Look: Slightly dewy, radiant look.
Oil Control: No oil control. Supposed to be moisturising..perhaps that's why. I've ran out of MAC loose powder by this time and i've only use chacott loose powder with this. Chacott is supposed to control oil very well. But this BB cream still gives me problems with oil control. I have not tried it with white grape makeup fixer yet but it's quite a disappontment....i had high hopes for it. Not avail. in SG, made in Korea.
Missha M Watery BB Cream SPF27 PA+++
Shade: Darker than usual bb creams. looks dark medium shade to me when i squeeze it out onto my palm. Probably able to fit a NC35 or perhaps a NC40.
Look: matte. Cooling and light upon application. Coverage is medium. very smooth blending....not sure is it because i'm using Biore facial sunblock SPF50PA+++.
Oil-Control: i used it with chacott powder today coz i had something to attend to and needed to blot as little as possible. SURPRISE! I needed to do no blotting at all!
Remarks: Oddly, not sure is it because it's very watery in consistency, the 50g product is very light in it's bottle. either the seller trick me and squeeze some out before selling it to me or it's really as light as it is. Not avail. in SG, made in Korea.
Lioele Beyond The Solutions BB Cream
Shade: medium shade. a teeny weeny fair for me.
Look: matte. feels a little thick. Coverage is medium.
Oil-Control: i used it with chacott powder today coz i had something to attend to and needed to blot as little as possible. but still had a bit of oil by end of day, 6pm. Had to tissue off a bit of oil before i left for home.
Remarks: Not sure if it's because i put on my Biore UV face milk and left it too long without applying my bb cream, my face was really dry and it was difficult to blend the bb cream. this resulted in it settling into my cheeks and nose pores and overall looked like a bad job done! i managed to salvage it by smoothing some toner and mixing some bb cream with moisturiser to re-apply over my cheek. by noon, makeup looked patchy - no surprise coz it's badly made up right from the start. Avail. at John Little in SG. i got it at $26 with postage.
Missha M Shiny BB Cream SPF 27 PA++
Shade: blends in well with my skintone, a teeny weeny fair. Colorwise, it's much better coz Missha M Watery is really too dark.
Look: Shiny, with little specks of silver glitters which is obvious upon up-close inspection. felt it's not as watery as the M water version, hence it has a slightly better coverage.
Oil-Control: Ok, as usual, not able to tell much as i wear a good UV base.
Remarks: Not avail. in SG, made in Korea.
