ProsI got the chance to try this out after receiving it at a beauty festival. I was initially worried because I chose this sun BB cream for my pore and caking concerns, but the reviews I found weren't as positive as I'd hoped.
The verdict? I'm satisfied!
I applied it using a spatula, and I'm impressed with how well it covers pores (goodbye, visible pores!) and how nice it feels on the skin. What I was most concerned about - its staying power and whether it would break down - turned out to be just fine. On days when I need my makeup to last, I'll still reach for foundation, but for everyday use, this is great. I saw many reviews saying it dried out and looked bad after a while, but for me, it wore off naturally and beautifully.
This is my first time using a BB cream on its own, and while it's hard to put into words, it definitely feels like I'm wearing makeup, but my skin feels so much more comfortable than with foundation or cushion compacts. It's quite remarkable!
I'd recommend this to anyone who wants light makeup for short outings when you don't want to go bare-faced, but find that brightening moisturizers don't provide enough coverage.
ConsIt's on the pricier side, so I'm not sure about repurchasing.
