Skinnies Looks SPF30 BB Review - LIGHT

I wanted to love this, but sadly this one doesn't suit my skin type. It's a super oily/moisturising formula, and probably better suited to summer time/weekend wear as well. I think it would be more accurate called a tinted sunscreen.

The formula itself is very thick - similar to a thick sunscreen, but it applies more like a moisturiser. It took quite some time to absorb and blend nicely and afterwards I felt overly shiny/oily. Towards the end of the day my skin felt the opposite - dehydrated and dry looking. The coverage of the BB cream itself was fairly good as a substitute for Foundation. For me the formula didn't like sitting over the top of my Elizabeth Arden Moisturiser - but own its own was okay.

I used the light shade and it was a good match for me - definitely ideal for the Ivory/Porcelain skin tones.

Won't be a purchase in the future for me unfortunately.

I have used the Skinnies sunscreen a lot in the past and really loved how it's not filled with water or other unnecessary additives. And a little really does go a long way - but....

I absolutely adore BB cream over summer so was super keen to add this to my arsenal and get down to a single product. The coverage is ok, similar I guess to a lower end BB cream. The colour was a great match for my fair skin with the medium being way too dark. The product applies quite well and at first I loved it because it meant I could cut out one extra product. But wow, does it feel oily after a while. I tried playing with different amounts and over/under makeup but still couldn't quite get the right balance and in the end gave up and went back to sunscreen and BB cream.

Overall it was just really average in my opinion

It’s far too light and I am super pale. I would try the medium though as I do really like the look and feel of it (apart from looking like a ghost). I do recommend it if I can find the right colour. But the light is VERY light.

Very moisturising and concentrated. Seriously, a dab covers your whole face! Too light for my skin tone, I gifted it to a daughter that has a lighter complexion. Probably not good for oily skins as it is super moisturising.
