Interested to know which is the best bb cream to use. I find foundation too thick and I just want an everyday cream to pop on that is easy to use. My skin is normal.

Not a BB cream but I’ve used a tinted moisturiser for years - Boots No. 7 City Lights. Gives light coverage and a glow - great in winter when my skin looks a little grey!

I’ve tried quite a few expensive and cheaper brands.
Although not a BB cream, I now use Rimmel Lasting Radience. It’s a light foundation with a bit of a glow SP rating.
Now I’ve said that they’ll probably discontinue it!

I use the garner bb cream it’s about £5 on Amazon that’s really good or bourgeois healthy mix about the same price.

Please somebody tell us what bb cream is!?

Blemish Balm, it’s a mixture of foundation and moisturiser with added sun protection. Not as heavy as foundation, but gives an even glow.

Thank you

Beauty Balm, tinted moisturiser!

I wanted exactly the same thing Chrisks and was introduced to NARS Sheer Glow Foundation - its is beyond wonderful, easy to apply, smooth, no smell and stays without clogging or running off. I'm switching all my make up to NARS now after a lifetime of devotion of Clarins and Bobbi Brown.

What's a BB cream? Can someone please enlighten? Is it a posh name for moisturiser?

No, too busy wondering what bb cream is !

TerriBull Sat 12-Sept-20 20:12:27

There's also BBB Cream, Beefy Bits Balm and BBBB cream Bulging Biceps Body Butter both available at Boots, that's Boots with just the one B.

BBs Dotty Bacardi Breezer, let's not veer off the Bs!. No that's not true it's red wine, I'm waiting for his lordship to stop watching a golf video, god help me, so we can watch something half decent on Netflix.
