this is the second bb cream for skin79 family that i try. i'm curious between this one and vital orange. vital orange because it's said for oily skin and pretty pale skin. but some say that hot pink is better for oily skin, so i'm between that two. and i thought vital orange is the one for me, but this hot humid weather melts vital orange on me, so i scratch that from my list.
this is from their website:
color light to natural beige. skin type: normal/oily.
okay, now let's move on to the review.
the texture: it's a cream, thicker than vital orange. almost like my bodyshop bb cream, but slightly more moist than missha real signature.
the color: it has greyish tone like other bb cream in common (newer bb creams have yellowish tint so it's more like foundation, but older bb creams always have greyish tone in them). for me, on swatch, it's a perfect match since it blends completely. both on picture and in person. but it's slightly darker than my neck. the vital orange one doesn't have the color differentiation after applying, but when i got home, my face looked darker and the bb cream has melted and it's shown on my face! so horrible... but hot pink, it's slightly darker, but it blends perfectly on my face. when i got home, the bb cream on my nose a little bit melted, but the other part of my face looks okay.
the coverage: it's medium, i think.. it can cover my dark undereyes and my redness, but not my dark spots.
the oil control: i have to admit, two days in a row i'm using this bb cream, both in hot and humid weather, but it holds stronger than vital orange. i guess the right one for oily skin is the hot pink. not vital orange.
overall, this is a good bb cream for those who lives on tropical country like mine, or has oily skin. but if you dislike the greyish undertone, probably you would want to skip this one. for me, i won't rush into wish list yet, since my last experience with vital orange. i'll keep trying. after all, bb cream samples are quite easy to get. just one sample is enough for a week use. (i only use bb cream in the morning).
