Good coverage BB cream?

[BeenAroundTheWorldAndIII]

Morning! Popping to town soon and I am looking for recommendations on a BB cream or equivalent.
I am starting back at work from maternity leave and feel I have aged significantly around the eye area recently (I'm only 35 🥴). I also have an uneven skin tone (acne prone at times - oily t-zone).
I don't want to spend a lot on makeup for work and need something quick and easy to apply. Never used a BB cream but thought this might be a good solution as not heavy and hopefully won't cake around the eye area.
Any recommendations? Ideal from boots or Superdrug.
Thank you!

Garnier do a really lovely one!

IT cosmetics are my go to, their CC cream is great in a variety of shades and finishes. If you are near a big boots they should offer a sample or a small size and if you are happy, QVC often has great deals.

Just posted this elsewhere - but Erborian. It is hands down the best skin product I've used. Great coverage, not drying, not greasy.

It is pricey but they do small tubes for you to test. You'd have to order online though I think.

Missha M BB cream on Amazon. I've light skin. I use shade 23.

Erborian

Sorry to hijack your thread @BeenAroundTheWorldAndIII but can somebody help me with the Erborian shades, I’m keen to try it but don’t want to end up tangoed!
I use the Garnier BB cream in medium as if that helps any!😊

If your getting the occasional outbreak ask your dr for a prescription product, hopefully your still getting free prescriptions.

I find the M&S autograph one good and it’s cruelty free. If you use eye creams try stopping them and apply a tiny amount of retinol instead if you aren’t Bf.

I used to use the really cheap Nivea one but got a sample size Dead Sea one in the Holland and Barrett Advent Calendar last year. Bought it full size based on that.

@gracielooloo - I think there’s only three shades, where do you normally fall on the spectrum?

I use Clair, which is the lightest. In other brands I’m normally if not the lightest then a shade up.

I have tried everything, from Missha to nivea/laneige/garnier/IT cosmetics/etude house/holika holika/ silky girl/most major korean brands. And Skin 79 bb cream (pink one) is the best of them all. It wears like a tinted moisturizer but has the coverage of a decent foundation.

I have worn bb cream almost exclusively daily since I was 21 (I am 28). Its not the cheapest, but I think you do have to spend more on base makeup, you can get away with cheap blush and eye makeup but I haven't really found a good base for below £20...

I second IT CC cream. It's buildable too.

Ditto . I love the Spa Magik BB from the H&B calendar. It was hard to find for a while but I’ve stocked up now .

Not a CC cream per se but similar to my experiences with CC cream, but I highly recommend the NARS pure radiant tinted moisturiser SPF 30. Absolutely fantastic light cream but serves as proper foundation, I have some spots and this plus a dab of concealer is perfect. Best foundation I've ever used and SPF in it too. Let's your skin show and be natural and dewy but enough coverage to even out tone. I would use with a light sweep of something like the MAC mineralise skin finish to help set it for the day.

BB cream**😑

I know you wanted a budget recommendation but I’ve used loads and you get what you pay for!

Lancôme Hydra zen BB cream is my current favourite.

It’s lovely.

Another recommendation for Erborian. Every time I wear it I get compliments on my skin.

Olay do a good one. Sali Hughes recommended it.

Erborian is brilliant. Not cheap at all but brilliant

Erborian CC cream. Amazing stuff, total game changer.

Try Tropic website or Body shop

I find that most BB creams make me look tangoed, but the Bodyshop one doesn't. The coverage is more like a foundation than a cream, but it suits my pale skin colour.

Missha M BB cream on Amazon. I've light skin. I use shade 23.

I also love missha I have quite greasy skin and it's great... but I think it would be great for a drier skin too

Great coverage, not greasy or dry also spf 50++

I'm on 24 but I have an olive/orange beige skin tone
My friend has a paler skin (Irish) and uses 23

I really like the Boots No7 one and have used it for years, though will also say I haven't tried any others to compare!

I have worn foundation forever and used to just use BB cream for "no make-up" days but have found I'm happy just with that now unless really going for it. Early 40s.

Pure bb cream is the best I've found and I've tried a lot! Home bargains have it, and Amazon. Cheaper in hb
