BB Cream with SPF 15, Medium, 1.7 Oz (Package May Vary)

Let me state that I spent HOURS reviewing different BB creams, tinted moisturizers, etc., before settling on Burts Bees BB cream. The ingredients, affordability, and positive user reviews on amazon clinched the purchase for me. My goals for a BB cream were to simplify my morning "made up" routine. I have combination skin that is very sensitive and I needed something that could cover fine imperfections and redness, and overall even out my skin. Foundations make me look super washed out and I don't have time for all the layering that goes with concealers, foundations, bronzers, highlighters, blushes, and so on. Phew. I did take to heart the reviews that stated to go a shade darker than normal- I'm usually a light/medium and I went with the medium- and I'm very happy I did. I first dabbed a little onto the back of my hand and I was worried because it looked a lot darker than I was expecting and seemed to be quite oily...until I put it on my face. Hello even skin tone without completely taking away my healthy color. Goodbye redness. It ended up applying to my skin much lighter and more natural to my skin tone. What I thought was oiliness ended up absorbing nicely into my skin leaving me with a nice natural finish. I did notice that a little seems to go a long way- areas where I repeated coverage (on accident, I'm applying with my hands and am not a makeup guru) seemed to have more coverage than where I had applied a single layer. I applied this on a down day without showering and my normally rebellious skin is very happy. I combined this with the Burts bees mascara and have achieved the "highlighting my natural beauty without looking too done up" goal. Update a year later: still love, still using! I always use this after I moisturize (Dr Jarts tiger grass) and perhaps that’s why I don’t have the pore/fine line problem that some are mentioning. It’s hard to find cosmetics that are useable without all the ‘no no’ chemicals and Burt’s bees has been the best I have found for both my skin and wallet. Update, several years later: my first tube lasted for a couple of years before it started to get that old, patchy, doesn’t apply or stay well kind of look, so I finally broke down and ordered a new one. The formula seems to be a lot drier this time, tugging on my now over thirty skin. I’ve found combining this with a little moisturizer seems to help and creates a cloud like mousse that’s easy to apply. I have also found that even the darkest tint can make me look washed out during the summer months after I’ve been out in the sun, so I’ve alternated with this during the winter and with a Pacifica multi mineral BB cream in shade 6 (medium) during the summer.

Great product

Una BB cream fantastica per texture e tenuta, la compro da tanti anni e non ho mai più usato un fondotinta

Me gustó mucho porque con ponérmelo no necesito maquillarme todos los días !

My favourite BB Cream although I find that it looks best when a light moisturiser or oil is applied to the skin beforehand. Coverage is really good without being heavy. I bought the Medium as I had a tan at the time and it is perfect for that. I’ll have to get a lighter shade for winter I think.
