It’s a tough job to be a beauty balm (BB) cream. In one small tube, you are supposed to tick quite a number of beauty responsibilities:
- Medium to full coverage
- Sun protection
- Moisturizing
- Anti-oxidants
- Non-comodgenic
- Anti-inflammatory
Initially created in Korea to help women face the world while healing from rather intensive skin treatments, BB creams have grown in popularity because of formulations that give adequate coverage, sun protection, and actually help heal the skin. Maybelline’s Super BB Cream should definitely be put up there as something worth trying if you’re lucky enough to match the two shades that this BB Cream comes in.
The coverage is quite adequate, so much so that that you’ll only need the tiniest bit of concealer on bumps and under the eyes. What’s also great about this cream is that it doesn’t make your face make up look heavy or flat. It appears to have light reflecting particles that make the skin look dewy instead of cakey. And though it has a slight floral scent, which I’m not partial to, it thankfully goes away after just a short while.
