I'd really like to use BB cream.

But I've never wore make-up before so I have no idea what shade I am.

I guess I should go to a MAC store and see what my shade is.

When I do is BB Cream shades close to MACs ? I'm scared to buy online and end up with the wrong shade >_>;

Can you please post more reviews on BB cream? I have heard of it, but I still don't know much. I have acne-prone skin and I just want a solid, reliable regimen for my skin. I'm already in my mid-20's and getting serious about anti-aging products. I just want good, healthy skin, not necessarily makeup-covered skin. Please post more info and do you know where to good good deals to get BB cream? Where to purchase them?

I love BB Cream so much and I still prefer it for everyday use than foundation. I did a review on my blog on the Tony Moly bb cream today with some swatches. I have tried quite a few brands already and my favorites so far are skin 79, skin food, and danahan but I am yet to do a review on them soon. They don't break me out and they are good at preventing oils. There are a few available bb creams for oil/acne-prone skin and you can purchase them from ebay

I tried BB cream for the first time after it was suggested by a couple of ladies on here when I was looking for suggestions for a better foundation.  This is my first day using it, but I must say I am really impressed.  It improves the tone and texture of my skin while feeling like I have nothing on.  I definitely plan to get a full size.

Here's a link to the sample that I got from Skin79.  I'd definitely recommend getting this sample if you're interested, because it's only $1, shipping is free, you get to try two of their creams, and included with the sample they sent me a $5 coupon code.

I wouldn't say this product is for everyone, though.  Here are some cons:

It seems to be only for fairer skin tones.  It does adjust somewhat to your skin tone, but that only goes so far.  I still have a hint of a tan left over from the summer, and while the shade looks perfect on my skin indoors, it looks a little too pale in outdoor light.  I plan to experiment with a little bronzer to warm it up.  

This brand is also geared towards skin tones with neutral/yellow/golden undertones.  I wouldn't get it for pink undertoned skin.

If you've got acne prone skin I personally wouldn't touch the stuff. I had the opportunity to try several out in an Asian mall here in Canada. AFAIK all BB creams have silicone in them. Silicones are a nightmare for acne prone skin.

For those of you that might be a little wary about buying asian BB creams, Garnier Fructis actually just came out with one. You can find it at Walgreens now:



I don't think the ingredients would be any better, but I don't think they'd be any worse either. imo I wouldn't be worried if you have acne-prone skin, since a lot of people rave about how it controls their acne--a lot of have sebum control.
