Review: Simple Perfecting BB Cream
BB creams were one of those big trends that sort of passed me by. I’ve always been a foundation girl, despite the fact that (in general) my skin is pretty well behaved so I don’t usually have much to cover up.
I have always loved the all-over coverage that a foundation offers which can correct pigmentation across the face and make a smooth base layer on which to build make up. However, I have discovered that a normal foundation can aggravate my dry/sensitive skin.
I hadn’t thought of trying a BB cream until I was given a Simple Perfecting BB Cream* at a recent Simple Skincare event and I have been using it ever since.
The Simple Perfecting BB Cream comes in a universal shade which blends into my skin tone really well. At first I was worried because it was a bit darker and more orange that I would have liked when it came straight out of the tube, but when I applied it the BB cream blended in nicely with no problems with the colour.
The BB cream has Simple’s unique blend of multi-vitamins and ingredients designed to give a flawless, natural coverage look which contains sun protection in the form of UVA/ UVB SPF15 which is a great additional feature.
The Simple Perfecting BB Cream has a really lovely texture, akin to that of a mousse product which feels really great when applying it to my face whereas a foundation feels a bit powdery even when in liquid format. I really like the texture of this product.
In terms of coverage of the BB cream vs a foundation, the BB cream doesn’t give the same all over thick coverage that a foundation does. I have used additional concealer on the odd blemish, however, I have been very happy with the BB cream which easily copes with evening out pigmentation.
As an additional benefit for my dry skin is that the BB cream can be applied over my moisturiser in the morning for longer lasting hydration benefits.
As I said before, I have been using this product for some time now and have been impressed with it’s texture, coverage and blending properties. I award the Simple Perfecting BB Cream 5 out of 5 stars and will continue to use it as part of my daily make up routine.
