BB Cream shade swatch

What is BB cream? well if you want to know more search it on google. LOL
Now I want to share this small compiled info that I got from a different site. I originally took the time to do this for my own personal use or reference only but might as well share it right!?

Now take a look at the photo below. This was originally 5 separate photos that I decided to put together so I could tell the differences in colors/shades of each bb creams closely, Kathi spent money and time to get this done and she even wrote reviews of each bb cream she tried, go to her blog site to learn more, because I will not copy all of her reviews here, that would not be nice :)

Take note that Kathi's skintone is very fair like she said on her blog. Her skin type is normal-dry and very sensitive. As you can see on the photo, 8 shades of 8 different bb creams are marked with red line; those 8 are the shades that worked well with her very fair skintone. I don't know what MAC shade she is but I do know that my skintone is a lot darker than her.

BB cream is supposed to set in to your skin and blend in to give a natural look in your face no matter what shade of bb you buy. Bb cream only have very limited shades and seems like all of it has a very light shade to it. Very few have shade selections and limited to two shades only. That really sucks.

The following is the list of all the bb creams shown on the photo above; I think you'll figure out how this list and the photo goes.

Now the 8 bb cream that worked well for her are:

bb1 4 MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42 PA+++ shade #21
bb1 6 Skin79 Super+ BB Gold Label (VIP Gold collection) SPF25 PA++
bb2 10 Hanskin Magic BB Cream
bb2 5 Skin79 Diamond Collection The Prestige Beblesh Balm SPF25 PA++
bb2 6 Skin79 Intense Classic Balm UV SPF20 PA++ pale
bb2 9 Innisfree Trouble Care BB Cream SPF 27 PA++
bb2 8 Banila Co Let Me Finish BB Cream
bb2 4 Skin79 Super+ Beblesh Balm BB Triple Functions SPF25 PA++

Her reviews are really helpful. Now if you can compare your skintone to her and have tried 1 or 2 bb creams already and still not satisfied with the color well you can try looking at the one she had already and compare the color.

I got a sample of MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42 PA+++ in shade #23 which is the darker version of what she got and I have skinfood aloe in shade #2 which suppose to be a darker version too. Because the MISSHA M Perfect #23 still a bit too light for me I will be picking something a bit darker next time and I might get the perfect match.

Atleast now I know not to buy every single brand because I don't have the money to do it and I don't want to end up with tubes of bb creams that I will not be able to use because I'll end up looking like a ghost if I try to finish it just because I don't want it to go to waste.

With the swatch of bb cream shades I know which bb cream to avoid in terms of shades. Now to know more about the bb creams Kathi reviewed pls go to her site and read thru them to get the one you think will work for you.

And I will now pick the ones I want to buy soon. Excited? YES!
