I wanted to treat myself to a new product and as my current BB
cream, Garnier BB Skin Perfector in Light, isn't quite cutting it. The Garnier
BB cream only comes in two shades and for my rather pale skin even the light is
too dark.
I asked Faye of Faye's Fix for her recommendations as I don't really know what I
am looking for, she asked her brilliant Twitter followers for their suggestions.
I narrowed it down to the following to check out.
I applied a small amount of the testers to my hand, so I could do a
'swatch' test. The Rimmel and Maybelline creams only had 2 shades and, as with
the Garnier, the lightest shade was still too dark for me.
The Bourjois was a strong contender. It had a few shades, with the
lightest being quite a good match. I also liked the idea of the different
shades within the cream to correct different complexion problems.
Apricot - Anti-fatigue Green - Anti redness White - Anti dark spots
However, the Max Factor, again with more shade options, seemed the
better match for my skin tone. When rubbing in to my hand I preferred the
consistency too. Another plus is the fact most of my other makeup is Max
Factor.
When I got home I wanted to try the cream out as soon as possible! I
like the consistency and the feel of the cream. It goes on well and feels
light. The coverage was pretty good, considering it is light and I have a
few red patches at the moment. I felt the product did what it promised 'instant
complexion enhancer.'
I would recommend this for a quick fix, it will definitely be
joining my other Max Factor products in my make-up bag and will be coming in my
hospital bag too.
