What to Know About BB Cream — And 5 Formulas We Love
July 01, 2021
Reach for NYX Professional Makeup BB Cream for sheer, radiant coverage. It feels silky smooth on the skin, and can be used solo or as a color correcting primer under foundation.
Erborian BB Crème stands by its "baby skin effect" claims for a reason. The tinted cream helps to minimize the look of pores and skin imperfections, all while boasting broad-spectrum SPF 20.
It can be hard to find a BB cream that doesn't enhance shine on oily and combination skin types, but Garnier SkinActive Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Oily/Combo Skin contains oil-absorbing mineral powder and pigments for natural matte finish. The SPF 20 formula blurs the look of pores and keeps excess sebum in check.
L'Oréal Paris Makeup Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream is a lightweight tint that contains vitamin C and E to brighten and hydrate skin. While you can buy it in a shade that matches your skin tone, it's also available in a light green shade to cancel out redness in fair to medium complexions.
Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB Cream 8-In-1 Skin Perfector is a multitasking beauty balm that hydrates, brightens, blurs pores and protects skin with SPF 30. Because the formula is non-comedogenic, it's suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
