   This is my first ever BB Cream, and I love it!
   Firstly:
   My skin tone: NC20
   My skin type: Teenage and prone to redness/scars, and more prone to dryness in the winter.

   CONSISTENCY/COVERAGE: Very thick, and very full. As an overall foundation, best used by rubbing between the fingers, and then spreading over/patting into the skin. This way you will cover basically all redness/tone imperfection, without a cakey look! I don’t feel the need to powder. I would recommend moisturizing well before use if you have dry skin – it’s pretty moisturizing, but I require a little extra.

   Often I use it as a concealer only, patting a reasonable amount over acne or dark circles, letting it sit a couple minutes, and then gently blending with more patting motions. This technique gives, like, perfect coverage!

   Just an amazing product, and I really think it nourishes my skin, as well as making it look practically flawless – I love that it has very few ingredients, is vegan-friendly, and mostly plant-based.

   I heart this bb cream!
   this has medium coverage, it covered my redness and small blemishes real well, made my skin looked natural porcelain. still had to use concealer for my dark circles though.

   oh, apply a very thin layer first, add more if needed or else you will look like a ghost out of nowhere

   cons: still had to use blotting paper, only came in one shade I thought it only suits fair skin to fair medium,
   and unfortunately too often using would cause me break out.. so.. I still had to search another bb cream for daily basis

   EDIT: it’s make my skin gotten worse and very iritated.. very disappointing looked I really need to throw this 🙁

   For some reason I became obsessed with bb creams. After having some disappointments with Dr. Jart and Missha I decided to try this out, but now I just have this random tube of BB cream I am never going to use.

   It’s really hard to apply and makes me look dead lol. The actual shade is a tad light for me but I found that it didn’t oxidize as much as other bb creams. It also accentuated my dry spots a LOT. Coverage was decent but it did nothing for my undereye circles. Overall the only plus for me was the price: way cheaper than some other bb creams out there. I’m going to retry it just because I spent the money but for now I don’t recommend this; I went back to Missha perfect cover and made it work instead.
   
   EDIT: tried this again and I now have two pimples on one side of my face and smaller bumps near my ear, along my jawline. Do not recommend if your pores clog easily.
   
   Edit 2: I’ve been trying it once again after looking into my drawer and feeling bad about all the bb creams in there. I haven’t been breaking out with it on anymore (and I’ve been wearing it to class, so those are 8+ hour days). It is really easy to overapply, though — I wasn’t paying attention and put on more than usual and looked like a mask even when the color adjusted, lol. The dead look is still there, you can’t just put this on on a lazy day when you don’t feel like wearing any other makeup. But I think it isn’t as bad as I thought before. Would rank this 2 1/2 stars if MUA allowed that.
