BB Cream

[aegis2005]

Do you use it?  If so, what brand, and do you like it?

I did a makeup consultation at Sephora in January and picked up the Smashbox Camera Ready BB cream and love it - when I actually looked at the price (and the fact that I'm not working right now) I didn't love it quite so much.  Would love to find something not quite as pricey that has great coverage because I've loved how well it covers the circles under my eyes and the unevenness of my complexion.

I'm interested in hearing the responses. I feel the same way & hate to fork over so much $$

I was using Boscia BB Cream (not cheap) and I decided I hate it. I need more coverage. Right now I am using some Revlon crap from the drug store and it's breaking me out like crazy. I will be in Orlando in a few weeks and I plan on trying Make Up Forever (something Velvet) because according to the reviews online it's buildable coverage and good for oily skin.

Have you checked out Makefupalley.com? I periodically check there to read reviews and recommendations when I am on the hunt for new products.

Kathy - Its Mat Velvet and its awesome stuff. I have a bottle and love it. I don't wear it everyday, but it is worth the price.

As far as BB creams go, I've only tried drugstore ones and have not gotten good results. But I have oily skin and am hardish to color match. I'm usually one to say if you find something you love that works for you, it is worth the price rather than spending an equivalent amount trying out a bunch of stuff that doesn't work. You can always go to Sephora and ask for samples of less expensive creams.

Oh, and I totally agree about makeupalley.com, great site, I use their review section all the time.

I haven't tried their BB cream, but I've long been loyal to Loreal for foundation and powder. I was going to give their BB cream a try when I run out. I've always preferred L'oreal to high end for foundation and mascara

I use L'Oreal mascara as well.    I actually read something about the L'Oreal BB cream yesterday (a positive review) so I may give it a go.
