Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream

I got this product in a box of sale products a while ago from one of the sale sites. My favourite tinted moisturiser has been discontinued so I was keen to try this.

It comes in an easy to access twist top tube, which is simple and exactly what I like. The problem for me though is that the product itself is quite thin and runny. when I apply it, it glides on easily and gives me a hint of coverage but not enough as it is a bit too thin. It's probably better suited to people who already have a very even complexion. But it's not for me unfortunately.

I found this product to be too thick for my liking. It didn't spread well or have enough moisture for me to continue using. It was obvious and didn't blend.

I did like this bb cream. It was easy to apply and looked great for a lighter coverage of make up. Covers skin redness well without looking heavy, still a natural texture. I love how it has a bit of spf protection in it. It did settle well on my skin bit i did get a bit of a shine after a few hours but nothing a blott or powder touch up doesnt fix. Its a good price and easy to use packing.

I think the packaging has changed to include the word “Matte”. I am guilty of still wearing some makeup on my days off but the powder foundation I was wearing wasn’t lasting the day without looking cakey and dry. This product has helped extend it by at least 3 hours. While it doesn’t give much coverage it does enough to be sheer to light coverage. It minimises my redness and worn under a powder foundation helps me look great even on the weekend. I love the fact there is some SPF protection but of course more is more. I will definitely be repurchasing this product as it literally does what it says it will and because it is so sheer (it is available in different tones, I use the lightest) it will match any skin tone.

I used this BB cream for approx a year before moving to the Rimmel CC 9 in 1 cream. I found the BB cream made my skin look too shiny by the end of the day and this was even with using a translucent powder on top. My skin might have been too oily for this product.

This product is pretty good and does what it claims, however I have quite dry skin so I found that this product didn’t suite me very much. I like to have a really dewy complexion and the mattifying effect didn’t do it for me. As for the rest: 8 skin benefits - SPF 15 - Really good to have a product that offers some sun protection. This doesn’t weigh the product down at all either. - Helps conceal redness - It did conceal the redness around my nose and chin area, so whoop! - Oil free - Yeah, not very oily. Great consistency that spreads evenly over skin. - Hydrates - I didn’t find this to be true. - Mattifies - It does settle as a matte base. - Targets blackheads - I don’t have blackheads so cant speak for that. - Smoothes - It does make your skin look more smooth, great blurring effect. - Evens skin tone - Apart from my under eye circles, my skin tone was lovely and even, all redness and dullness covered up.

I love this product and I always buy it... Great coverage and tone. Looks natural and easy to apply. It last the whole day. I like to use it because I don't apply foundation all the time.
