My Experience
My skin type: Normal
Shade: 02 soft beige
First of all, I wanna talk about its shade soft beige which is the lightest shade but when I apply it on my face it oxidizes and makes my skin look orangey and tan. So I don’t think this shade will be suitable for very fair and yellow undertones. The consistency is thick. However, it spreads easily on the skin but the formula dries up quickly and I have to rub this a lot around my eyes to blend it properly which is very irritating to me. It Hydrates my skin well and feels a bit sticky even though I have normal skin type when I sweat, it comes off easily and becomes patchy. So, it is compulsory to set it with powder. Seriously, I didn’t like it at all. Completely a regret buying product for me. I can’t even mix it with another foundations to balance the shade because the BB cream isn’t blendable easily.
Coverage
As a BB cream it provides pretty decent coverage and gives even tone natural look. It gives kinda dewy look.
