You can get them from several websites. Lioele Texas, Pretty and Cute, some urban outfitters have them. I would definitely try Lioele Dollish Cera V CC Cream. Its super full coverage and lasts through a tornado.
I am in MAD love with the L'Oreal Magic Skin BB Cream! I know that when it comes out of the tube white, many people may be like "WTF?!?!" BUT....I am here to tell you, it applies beautifully, adapts to your skin shade perfectly, and wears well all. day. long. AND....if you are super oily like me, you will be pleasantly surprised at how well it controls that shine! Try it out! You won't be disappointed!
+Angela Bradley Same! The only problem I've found with it is if you apply too much it gets super cakey and leaves lines but normally that isn't a problem!
I agree! I don't like wearing heavy makeup at all, so when I discovered the Loreal Magic BB cream, it really worked for my oily skin. It really feels like natural skin on me and stays all day without looking cakey or oily. I also like showing my freckles so it's perfect since it doesn't cover super heavy, just enough to cover redness and/or discoloration on my skin :)
+McKenzie Flaten I know! Only through trial and error! Haha! You have to just dot it on your face all over and then blend it with a super-damp beauty blender sponge. BUT......I just got a dupe set of the Artis brushes and I'm going to see how those work! Excited to try it out!!
I use the Nyx one because I can only use very light formulas because of my sensitive skin. I highly recommend it to anybody who has reactions to heavier foundations. It's also great at covering redness!
same!! some say that it makes them really oily, but in my experience, as long as i do my regular makeup routine, it works great. and i have hella oily skin and i live in the hot texas weather and it holds up rather nicely on me 😊
Melanie H All women experimenting with bb creams are putting WAY TOO MUCH ON THEIR FACE!! Less is more. And it won't "pool" anywhere and still give a beautiful smooth finish!
Can you make an updated one of this? Like with the new ones that have come out and the ones you haven't tested? Please and thank you! Love your channel btw :)
Korean BB creams are vastly superior to western brands. (Actually Korean drugstore brands on a whole are so much better quality; Water. Proof. Eyeliner. That's all.) It'd be interesting if you tried some out for comparison.
onerva I agree so much with this statement! Korean BBs and western BBs are in totally different worlds, no pun intended. My faves are Missha and Lioele. :-)
I recently purchased the Rimmel BB Cream, and I have been super happy with it. When I first applied it, I thought it was a little dark, but it ended up being perfect. So far, I have had no issues with it moving or it's wear time. I have pretty oily skin and this seems to work perfect with my skin. I LOVE IT!!
I am a full coverage girl but I still enjoyed this video. I know how much work goes in to testing, filming and editing each and very product - GREAT job! Have a great weekend. ♥ Elle
Though I haven't tried many of these, I really like to mix in the Maybelline one with my L'Oreal pro matte foundation because I find that it changes the texture of that foundation in a way that keeps it from settling into my smile lines and allows it to apply more evenly! Maybe it's just me, but that's my two cents!
i love your videos!!! every time i hear you say "hi gorgeous!!!" i do feel really warm and beautiful inside. I look up to you and you're a wonderful role model of a woman.
Being someone who HATES the idea of foundation, a solid BB cream has been my go-to. But I do use a very light veil of Mineral powder on top of it and that seems to give the BB cream staying power and reduces chances of shine. The Mineral Powder seems to do the trick.
First off you are ALWAYS beautiful! Inside and out! But the look you have here in the Editorial is so great! My fave of all I've seen! The reason? IDK, the matte shadows? Looks perfect, whatever the reason!
I used to absolutely hate covergirl for the same reason, and about three months ago I tried it again and I absolutely loved it! I'm just as pale if not paler than you and since I've started using covergirl products more often I've realized it's the only brand I can find that actually perfectly matches my skin tone. I don't know if they changed their formulas or what but they last much longer on me and don't become cakey in places where they used to for me, so I've become a big fan! I'll have to try their BB cream now! :)
I'm super fair skinned, I think I'm almost the exact same skin tone as you, so I am LOVING your drugstore series! I tried the Garnier bb cream in the past and it was horribly orange on me. Thank you so much, now I don't have to test all of the different brands :) And I'm not sure if you have any asian stores near you but currently my favorite BB cream is SKIN79 Green, it's their lightest shade and the finish on it is incredible.
Ah I've been looking for a decently priced Bb cream. I just moved to Florida so I've been especially turning to your reviews on your face products because all my old foundations are just too heavy feeling now in the summer here. Thank u z!
I just wanted to pop in and say thanks for doing all the research for us subbies. I refer people to this video all the time. I started using the CG BB thanks to you and I love it. It's so difficult for us fair complected gals especially at the drugstore. I'm gonna try NYX next!
I soooo love how you do your reviews... very informative! What I admire most is that you show vids or pics on how each product really looks when you used them... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 and soooo love the way you speak ❤️
I have the Covergirl & Maybelline Bb Creams. I have sahara desert skin as I like to say, I have really skin. I felt like the Covergirl one accentuated any dry patches I had & had very little coverage. I personally wasn't a fan of that one. The Maybelline one though was a total hit for me! It didn't settle into dry patches & it matches my skin nicely & I found it even moisturized my skin a little bit & it has nice coverage. Maybelline is definitely one of my top favorite drugstore brands. (& I live in California in the desert area, so it's pretty dry here so I need all that moisture I can get lol)
Thank you!!! Florida is a unique place to test the wear of makeup and skincare products. I love the L'Oréal BB cream. I usually don't use drugstore products for base makeup, but this one changed my mind.
I love how much work you put into your reviews. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Also you look like an old Hollywood actress or pinup model in this!
Thank you SO much for this. As a fellow oily skinned pale girl, I've found that many BB creams Fair or Light shades are never light enough to match or strong enough for my oil. Its nice to know that I can find some in the drug store that will actually work for me!
If your looking for something to help keep the oil at bay the Neil's yard matifier is amazing, I don't know if it's a moisturiser or primer but I use it as a primer and it matifies my skin very well and keeps the oil away I hope this helps you xx
i've been using the L'oreal BB for 2 yrs. now n i love it! it was the only one without sunscreen i could find at the time. will have to try the NYX too! thanks dear for all your dedicated work!!!
Love the loreal BB cream in anti fatigue which has an orange tint , it makes my combo skin look amazing , and covers all of my blotchiness , the garnier I did not like for the Same reasons u mentioned , the regular maybelline bb is a great one for me as well, very nice review !!
I know it's not drugstore, but I love love love the one from Tarte. I consistently wear that instead of foundation and people actually comment on what nice skin I have when I wear it. Highly recommend it!
I am so glad you mentioned glasses! No one ever does videos of how to do your eyes when you must wear glasses all the time, I wish you would do a video on wearing glasses.....thanks for all your wonderful tips!
I love your lipstick around the 3:20 mark! Thank you for taking the time to do Frugal Friday. I have red skin (rosacea) and with not a lot of money it's hard to find one that fits my budget and gives me the look I want. Your videos have helped so much!
I have a beauty tip for u guys. if u want ur foundation to stay and not get dewy throughout the day, apply a translucent powder as the very first thing you put on and then the foundation, then finally your powder. Thank me later.
If you've never tried the Burt's Bees BB cream, I've had great luck with it! It's a little expensive for the drugstore (~$15) but it is a great color match for me (similar in paleness to you) and doesn't oxidize/stays matte, so it's worth it!
The Physician's Formula Super BB also has SPF 30. I agree that it's quite dark for a "light" shade, so I only wear it in the summer. My skin oily-combo, but I think it works pretty well when powdered down.
I have DRY skin so the glow in the PF BB works well for me. I also like that it was the only drugstore BB I found that only had physical sunscreen ingredients. But I do wish the Light color was not so dark!
That covergirl BB cream is the first, and only one I've ever tried and I adore it! I normally wear foundation, but when I'm in a rush and wanna still look good I throw it on.
I love you so much Zabrena, I watch you videos all the time to see what products you recommend. You help me find great products all the time, your amazing!
I've tried the CG and the Garnier ones and I've got very dry skin with heavy dark circles. These two were VERY bad for me. I haven't tried NYX yet but I definitely want to after seeing her video given we have different skin types. She's sooo informative and honest!
you should try the new covergirl clean matte bb cream... I've heard a lot of good things, and its supposed to be matte so i'd love to see how it works on you. especially since i'm a fellow pale, oily Florida girl ;)
The L'Oreal bb cream is my absolute favorite! It's a dupe for Josie Maran's bb cream too, they wear exactly the same and both start out white with the little gray bubbles.
I came to this from a more recent video and the intro spooked me a little! My options for face products at the drugstore are very slim, especially in the BB cream realm. I am the palest person I have ever seen in person or on the internet, in most places my skin is so pale its translucent! I also have oodles of redness and dry skin, which narrows my options further. I use the Covergirl CGsmoothers BB cream because I love how hydrating it is, and the spf always is a good thing for me. It blends perfectly into my skin since its coverage is so light 😂 i tend to wear it on days where i dont apply makeup, or very little
This video was so helpful! i didn't know if i should've got the Maybelline BB cream or the L'oreal BB cream. You recommended the L'oreal BB cream and it is amazing! I love it!
This was the BEST BB cream review I've seen so far! I loved how In depth your reviews were. I'm super pale with oily skin and live in Florida. I will definitely be trying the loreal BB cream💘
Glad I came across this video. I currently use the Garnier BB Cream and am not happy with it for the exact reasons you mentioned. I'm going to try the L'Oreal one and see how that works for me. Thanks!
Perfect review. After watching your reviews, I bought L'Oréal BB nude (they discontinued magic skins beautifier). It is really really good. Wear time? I mean - fabulous! No shine and I have a very oily skin. Wonderful. Thank you.
I had the same problem with the Revlon, it makes me super shiny. I have the Garnier BB for oily skin, and I really enjoy it! I also love the Rimmel Matte BB cream. Both of those are too dark for me during the fall or winter, but right now when I'm tanner, I find them to be passable. I'll have to try the NYX! Awesome video : )
Thank you so much for this review! I found that the CG BB cream broke me out so badly that I returned it. It was NOT pretty after 4 uses, but up until then I was completely shocked by how nice it was as that has not been my experience with CG products. If it doesn't happen to make you break out, it's a great product!
I'm so happy I found this video! I am a young adult and haven't ever really worn makeup, besides sometimes lipstick and sometimes eyeliner. Every time I try foundation it looks cakey so I'm hoping that one of these will be perfect for me! I used to have oily skin before I went on accutane a couple years ago and now I have normal/mildly dry skin. Subscribed!
I actually really love the NYC Matte BB Cream. I have oily skin, too, plus I live in South Louisiana, so I know all about makeup sliding off the face due to humidity. I also enjoy the Maybelline one, but now I want to try the Covergirl one!
If your looking for something to help keep the oil at bay the Neil's yard matifier is amazing, I don't know if it's a moisturiser or primer but I use it as a primer and it matifies my skin very well and keeps the oil away I hope this helps you xx
+lena7623 I'm about the same skin color as Zabrena and I found that if I only used a dime-sized amount of that one and applied it from the back of my hand using a sponge, it wasn't too hard and it seemed to stay better. Luckily, the area I live in doesn't get very hot during the summer, although it is pretty humid here.
I'm new to your channel. I know this was done last year, but you are beautiful and the way your hair is styled gorgeously and looks so glamorous. Like your ready to walk the red carpet!!! I watched most of your videos one day and your great and super sassy and funny!!! Thanks for the videos!!!
I'm surprised to hear that you don't like the Garnier, I actually really love it. Yes, it does get shiny, but that's the only problem I have with it. It's easy to put on, gives a natural looking coverage, and as long as I keep my powder on hand, it's good for everyday.
One of the BB creams I've found to be really well wearing on my sensitive, combination skin, is the Nude by Nature one. It's light enough and doesn't oxidise :) As always your video was rather helpful and informative :)
Not to be weird but you have such a nice soothing voice! I totally left the youtube tab open looking up different makeups and didn't even realize I didn't have music or something playing. Also thank you for this it's super informative!
I found that the Maybeline BB cream made my face greasy. I have combo skin, more towards the normal, but can get oily around my nose. I thought the Maybeline applied nicely, but after like 4 hours, I felt very greasy. I'm trying out the Rimmel Matte, especially since it's summer here in NY and can get quite humid. I'm liking it so far. I'm very pale as well, so matching products is hard, but I feel that the Rimmel is a good match, not perfect, but quite close. I'll have to try the L'Oreal when I repurchase. Love your videos.
The maybeline one I have separated in the bottle, but still applies really well. I think the humidity definitely plays a role in how they wear. I live in Wisconsin and I have oily skin as well, but my face never got super oily
Ooooh Zabrena you should consider doing a "Battle of the liquid lipsticks" video! It may not be Frugal Friday appropriate but it would be so interesting to hear your thoughts and reviews!
Loreal's BB cream is nice!! I'm a guy and i use Maybeline Green Primer for my red skin, then use the bb cream, powder and spray a setting spray. Bb cream makes u look dewy so that's why i use a translucent powder and tbh for a guy, i get away with wearing make up thanks to it.
Okay I'm leaving this comment here because I appreciate your channel. I take your word as final, because well, your reviews are on point! Super in-depth, I love all the points that you cover. I actually search for your videos first whenever I'm looking for products to try. Love love love your channel!
redlipstick79 Wow! Major compliment! Thank you! :) I will be doing an updated hair care routine video soon and will be sure to include a tutorial for this kind of a look in it ;)
I bought the L'Oreal Magic BB Cream in shade "Light" today after seeing your video. I loved the finish, but when I applied it with my Beauty Blender, it looked like I had put nothing on. Blemishes and redness were still as prominent as when I'm bare-faced. So I tried adding another layer with just my fingers and man, did it ever transform! I'm not kidding when I say that it turned orange...I was shocked! Needless to say, I'm returning this stuff. I may try the "Fair" shade when I see it on sale one day, but I'm certainly in no rush to. So strange how products can work so differently on different people.
I have combination skin and i love the garnier bb cream and i find it lasts about 6hrs before i need to blot!! I also love the loreal bb cream. That was actually one of the first ones ive tried! The loreal is definitely my go to no make-up makeup and the garnier is more pigmented and mor of a medium coverage! My all time favorite go to bb is the rimmel stay matte i use that with a primer and it lasts 8+ hours on my skin! I would say i have a glow by 8 hours but by no means am i shiny or oily looking.. Great viedo i love seeing others opinions and their first impressions on their skin types thats way i can have recomendations for my clients!!! Xoxo
I think 6 hours is a good wear time for a BB cream. BB creams usually aren't as bulletproof as foundations are.
floralisa1975 Unless you're wearing a Korean BB cream. Those things would deflect a grenade.
Conner IsCatastrophic lol where can i get my hands on some korean BB cream lol
You can get them from several websites. Lioele Texas, Pretty and Cute, some urban outfitters have them. I would definitely try Lioele Dollish Cera V CC Cream. Its super full coverage and lasts through a tornado.
+RITABEAUTYXOXOI know this reply is way, way late and you probs found places but missha has a us site and you can also actually find a lot on amazon

Thanks !
I use the mabelline one and I have insanely sensitive skin as well

Melanie H All women experimenting with bb creams are putting WAY TOO MUCH ON THEIR FACE!! Less is more. And it won't "pool" anywhere and still give a beautiful smooth finish!
Using Way too much cream!!! Less is more. Won't "pool" and still give a beautiful finish.
Can you make an updated one of this? Like with the new ones that have come out and the ones you haven't tested? Please and thank you! Love your channel btw :)
Korean BB creams are vastly superior to western brands. (Actually Korean drugstore brands on a whole are so much better quality; Water. Proof. Eyeliner. That's all.) It'd be interesting if you tried some out for comparison.
onerva I agree so much with this statement! Korean BBs and western BBs are in totally different worlds, no pun intended. My faves are Missha and Lioele. :-)
onerva Which do you recommend?
Any Korean BB cream recommendations for dry skin?
Can you recommend a Korean BB cream.?. And where to buy it, I'm sure through the internet. I would greatly appreciate the info. 😊
I think they have alot fair tones with yellow undertones. I have tan skin. I can't find any Korean bb creams or foundation that is dark enough for me.
Your hair is flawless. The color=gorgeous. The curls= wa-bam gorgeous! UGH. SO much gorgeousness in this video
I recently purchased the Rimmel BB Cream, and I have been super happy with it. When I first applied it, I thought it was a little dark, but it ended up being perfect. So far, I have had no issues with it moving or it's wear time. I have pretty oily skin and this seems to work perfect with my skin. I LOVE IT!!
You wear each one for a whole day!!! You're just so amazing!!!! Thank you for all of your videos!!!! You're my queen!!!!!
I am a full coverage girl but I still enjoyed this video. I know how much work goes in to testing, filming and editing each and very product - GREAT job! Have a great weekend. ♥ Elle
***** Thank you so much for the appreciation, Elle! :)
I absolutely adore your videos! I love how you break everything down and show examples of multiple, affordable products. Thanks for your time!

+pokemonrocks57 Thank you so much and welcome to you!
+Zabrena What brush are u using.
Zabrena
am I supposed to use a primer with a bb cream?
Angie P yeah you should do it stays on and has a nice finish
Finally it is good to see someone review who has oily skin, thank you😊
I can't imagine how time consuming this video must've been. I am so glad I found it!

Also, the neutrogena BB cream is pretty awesome, but you have to look in the skincare area to find it

You do such an awesome job on these reviews. It's obvious that you spend a lot of time and effort to share your thoughts on a product. Thanks so much!
My favorite and go-to BB Cream has been Lloreal in Fair too. Love it. I have dry skin so it works well with my skin type.
Yes.i get a lot of compliments when I wear this one.

you should try the new covergirl clean matte bb cream... I've heard a lot of good things, and its supposed to be matte so i'd love to see how it works on you. especially since i'm a fellow pale, oily Florida girl ;)
It's wonderful stuff! Here's the wear test I did on it :) th-cam.com/video/3HoEHpABDrA/w-d-xo.html
Its horrible!! At least in my case it oxidizes 4 shades darker throughout the day😩

I am the palest person I have ever seen in person or on the internet, in most places my skin is so pale its translucent! I also have oodles of redness and dry skin, which narrows my options further. I use the Covergirl CGsmoothers BB cream because I love how hydrating it is, and the spf always is a good thing for me. It blends perfectly into my skin since its coverage is so light 😂 i tend to wear it on days where i dont apply makeup, or very little
This video was so helpful! i didn't know if i should've got the Maybelline BB cream or the L'oreal BB cream. You recommended the L'oreal BB cream and it is amazing! I love it!
I have been pleasantly surprised by the NYC matte and the elf bb cream. I love them!!
Zabrena, I've read somewhere if somethings too dark, you can always add a little moisturizer to make it lighter. Hope that helps!
Love this vid! I don't go to the drugstore without you!! Thank you a billion times :D I love your Frugal Fridays!! :D
My favorite is the loreal one! Love your videos! You are amazing and such a beautiful person inside and out😘
This was the BEST BB cream review I've seen so far! I loved how In depth your reviews were. I'm super pale with oily skin and live in Florida. I will definitely be trying the loreal BB cream💘
Love your look in this (the look while you're speaking). Your eyes, your lips, your hair, so pretty!!
Glad I came across this video. I currently use the Garnier BB Cream and am not happy with it for the exact reasons you mentioned. I'm going to try the L'Oreal one and see how that works for me. Thanks!
Perfect review. After watching your reviews, I bought L'Oréal BB nude (they discontinued magic skins beautifier). It is really really good. Wear time? I mean - fabulous! No shine and I have a very oily skin. Wonderful. Thank you.
Cover girl is also my favorite. Thanks for the review on NYX and Loreal, gonna give those a try.
I had the same problem with the Revlon, it makes me super shiny. I have the Garnier BB for oily skin, and I really enjoy it! I also love the Rimmel Matte BB cream. Both of those are too dark for me during the fall or winter, but right now when I'm tanner, I find them to be passable. I'll have to try the NYX! Awesome video : )
Thank you so much for this review! I found that the CG BB cream broke me out so badly that I returned it. It was NOT pretty after 4 uses, but up until then I was completely shocked by how nice it was as that has not been my experience with CG products. If it doesn't happen to make you break out, it's a great product!
I'm so happy I found this video! I am a young adult and haven't ever really worn makeup, besides sometimes lipstick and sometimes eyeliner. Every time I try foundation it looks cakey so I'm hoping that one of these will be perfect for me! I used to have oily skin before I went on accutane a couple years ago and now I have normal/mildly dry skin. Subscribed!
I actually really love the NYC Matte BB Cream. I have oily skin, too, plus I live in South Louisiana, so I know all about makeup sliding off the face due to humidity. I also enjoy the Maybelline one, but now I want to try the Covergirl one!
I like it to, but it doesn't cover very much. .
If your looking for something to help keep the oil at bay the Neil's yard matifier is amazing, I don't know if it's a moisturiser or primer but I use it as a primer and it matifies my skin very well and keeps the oil away I hope this helps you xx
+lena7623 I'm about the same skin color as Zabrena and I found that if I only used a dime-sized amount of that one and applied it from the back of my hand using a sponge, it wasn't too hard and it seemed to stay better. Luckily, the area I live in doesn't get very hot during the summer, although it is pretty humid here.

I'm new to your channel. I know this was done last year, but you are beautiful and the way your hair is styled gorgeously and looks so glamorous. Like your ready to walk the red carpet!!! I watched most of your videos one day and your great and super sassy and funny!!! Thanks for the videos!!!
I bought the L'oreal BB cream because of you. It looks good on you so I figured, what the heck I'll try it out. Thanks for this review.
Your channel is so great! I love how much you go in to depth and shows you know your stuff. Subscribed!!! Xxx
I'm surprised to hear that you don't like the Garnier, I actually really love it. Yes, it does get shiny, but that's the only problem I have with it. It's easy to put on, gives a natural looking coverage, and as long as I keep my powder on hand, it's good for everyday.
This was so helpful! I've been using the maybeline bb creams for a few months now and I get oily very quickly with it.
One of the BB creams I've found to be really well wearing on my sensitive, combination skin, is the Nude by Nature one. It's light enough and doesn't oxidise :) As always your video was rather helpful and informative :)
Not to be weird but you have such a nice soothing voice! I totally left the youtube tab open looking up different makeups and didn't even realize I didn't have music or something playing. Also thank you for this it's super informative!
I felt the same way about the Rimmel BB cream; it got shiny very quickly. (Your hair looks gorgeous!)
For the Rimmel, you should use the stay matte primer and stay matte powder
Lenox-Mae Reid yaaaas
I literally go to your videos whenever I need info/and opinion on a makeup product
I found that the Maybeline BB cream made my face greasy. I have combo skin, more towards the normal, but can get oily around my nose. I thought the Maybeline applied nicely, but after like 4 hours, I felt very greasy. I'm trying out the Rimmel Matte, especially since it's summer here in NY and can get quite humid. I'm liking it so far. I'm very pale as well, so matching products is hard, but I feel that the Rimmel is a good match, not perfect, but quite close. I'll have to try the L'Oreal when I repurchase. Love your videos.
Your hair is gorgeous. Love your color 😉 and love your reviews!
you look like poison ivy
Ikr YOU do a lot 😂
Lol yeah she does!! But she's hella pretty:)
shhh that's a secret
The maybeline one I have separated in the bottle, but still applies really well. I think the humidity definitely plays a role in how they wear. I live in Wisconsin and I have oily skin as well, but my face never got super oily
I love the effort you put into your videos. I always find them helpful! Much love to you and your channel!
New subscriber, and I have become obsessed with this frugal Fridays series!
Glad to hear your review on the NYX BB cream. I swatched it today and liked it; hoping to find a replacement for my beloved $43 CDN Tarte BB cream :)
You put so much effort into your videos I love it!!
Ooooh Zabrena you should consider doing a "Battle of the liquid lipsticks" video! It may not be Frugal Friday appropriate but it would be so interesting to hear your thoughts and reviews!
That hair color looks so good on you! And u should try the garnier one, I've heard that one is really good.
Lol I meant the misha one.
Loreal's BB cream is nice!! I'm a guy and i use Maybeline Green Primer for my red skin, then use the bb cream, powder and spray a setting spray. Bb cream makes u look dewy so that's why i use a translucent powder and tbh for a guy, i get away with wearing make up thanks to it.
Okay I'm leaving this comment here because I appreciate your channel. I take your word as final, because well, your reviews are on point! Super in-depth, I love all the points that you cover. I actually search for your videos first whenever I'm looking for products to try. Love love love your channel!
You are totally reminding me of Rita Hayworth with this hair!! Do you have a tutorial for this?
redlipstick79 Wow! Major compliment! Thank you! :) I will be doing an updated hair care routine video soon and will be sure to include a tutorial for this kind of a look in it ;)
Your videos are so professional, well organised and so put together. Cheers to you Zabrina ♡
I bought the L'Oreal Magic BB Cream in shade "Light" today after seeing your video. I loved the finish, but when I applied it with my Beauty Blender, it looked like I had put nothing on. Blemishes and redness were still as prominent as when I'm bare-faced. So I tried adding another layer with just my fingers and man, did it ever transform! I'm not kidding when I say that it turned orange...I was shocked! Needless to say, I'm returning this stuff. I may try the "Fair" shade when I see it on sale one day, but I'm certainly in no rush to. So strange how products can work so differently on different people.
Maybe you got the wrong color? That's what usually happens if it turned orange
I have combination skin and i love the garnier bb cream and i find it lasts about 6hrs before i need to blot!! I also love the loreal bb cream. That was actually one of the first ones ive tried! The loreal is definitely my go to no make-up makeup and the garnier is more pigmented and mor of a medium coverage! My all time favorite go to bb is the rimmel stay matte i use that with a primer and it lasts 8+ hours on my skin! I would say i have a glow by 8 hours but by no means am i shiny or oily looking.. Great viedo i love seeing others opinions and their first impressions on their skin types thats way i can have recomendations for my clients!!! Xoxo
