I'm always honest with my posts and this is no different. I've used this a couple of times & this product just isn't for me. I'll tell you why......
I applied this to the right half(or on the left side of the pic) of my face and left the other half bare. I used my fingers to apply this on freshly cleaned skin. I have yellow tones and this comes out pink. I have extremely oily skin, and while this does absorb quickly into the skin, it instantly makes me look like a grease face.
As you can see here, this is my full face with just the BB Cream on. I used my phone to show time for the purpose of this review. Even though the left side of my face looks kinda matte, it isn't.
Here I am almost 2 hours later, and the oilyness on my face is 10 times worse. Not the worst I've ever had, but pretty bad.
So, I took a tissue to blot....
That's right, some of the product came off. I know it says to reapply at least every 2 hours, but whoah.
For the purpose of this review, I wore nothing BUT the BB Cream. I actually have to admit that when I wore it before with a full face, including powder to set and help keep shine down it was actually worse. My face looked like I squirted oil all over it, my mascara transferred & made me look like I had raccoon eyes, and some of it slid into my eyes making them burn.
As with most American BB Creams, this is (to me) basically a tinted moisturizer...nothing more. I know the packaging says both, but it's not a cream. It's extremely sheer. I don't think it covered any imperfections, evened tone, or smoothed. It also has a slight smell that I can't really pinpoint, but I think it's slightly floral.
I think this product would work much much better for someone with dry skin, as it does moisturize and brighten the skin. I also think that if this had worked for me, that the light to medium would have worked better for my NC25 skin.
If you have dry skin, go give this a try. You can find this at www.olayfresheffects.com and http://www.amazon.com for around $12.99.
