Totally ignoring all this buzz about the lip/cheek pots... lol. Money is going elsewhere right now (woven wraps for next baby!) so I can't splurge until I finish what I have!
However, I finally got my hands on the BB Cream! I got Nude Honey from Hong Kong and there are pros and cons but so far I'm liking it better than my YSL BB. I'll try to do pictures but in the mean time here are my thoughts.
Pros:
- looks so natural! Seemed a bit pale initially for my Trench 5/NC25-30 face but settled in very nicely and matched my neck well (I hardly put makeup on my neck). Mind you this isn't with a ton of sun time yet, but still a tad darker than winter time.
- in comparison, I find that I look more made up with the YSL BB than with Burberry's Sheer Foundation.
- Nude Honey fits my skin tone well enough; YSL I need to mix Clear and Medium shades, altho it's nice for adjusting to seasons
- gives a nice dewy glow
- easy to spread with fingers
Cons:
- need 2 pumps to cover my face for minimal coverage, otherwise I may as well just use Fresh Glow. Compared to the Sheer Foundation, for which I usually use 0.5-1 pump for sheer coverage (for reference, to me minimal is more about giving my skin a more polished look with very little coverage, and sheer gives me polish with coverage to mask away fading blemishes, which minimal does not).
- hard to find this tone outside of Asia
- I don't find layering helps with more coverage, altho I haven't had time to let one layer dry then apply a second. I've applied directly after the first layer and found I get more polish but not necessarily more coverage, if that makes sense.
