COVERGIRLClean Matte BB Cream, Oil-Free, Long-Lasting, Sensitive Skin, Lightweight, 100% Cruelty-Free

I finally found my favorite fountain for my mature skin. Cover Girl has always (I've thought) been good quality/value makeup, I've loved it since I was in highschool.... forever ago lol. I've tried high end foundations and affordable foundations and after trying this little tube of BB cream, I'll stick with it. It covers well, not full coverage obviously as it's a BB cream, but the coverage is effective. It's not thick and cakey at all. It looks pretty on the skin and the match was pretty spot on. I didn't notice any dryness after wearing it for 8 hours WITH matte powder and setting spray. I am extremely impressed!

By far my favorite foundation/BB cream. It’s the perfect amount of coverage without feeling or looking heavy. It has a skin like finish. Although it states it’s matte, it isn’t too mattifying where it accentuates fine lines and wrinkles. And it doesn’t break me out which is huge plus. I love it! Please Covergirl, keep this around forever. I will always be a customer of this product!

Nice coverage while still being sheer. I’m super pale so it was pretty easy to color match. Left skin feeling a little greasy but nothing a little powder won’t fix.

This is my go to. As I get older with more mature skin less is more. This does very well without powder. Buildable and helps to keep your oil under control during the day

Just what I wanted. Not heavy just easy to wear and looks natural!

I prefer my other brand, but it's okay for the budget price. Lightweight for summer use

I have been experimenting with different foundations/bb creams lately because I wanted something lighter that was not going to break me out. I LOVE L'oreal Infallible Pro-Matte foundation, but find that it upsets my skin a bit.My skin is very very sensitive to products and will break out after wearing a product just ONE time. Although this sucks, it also is very useful in helping me quickly eliminate products that will or will not work for me. For example, I tried the Maybelline Fit me Foundation (it has a TON of amazing reviews). The finish was flawless and really nice, but after wearing it for the first time for a few hours, my skin had broken out ALL OVER. My skin was completely clear that morning when I applied the foundation.So now on to my review of this bb cream: I ordered the Covergirl Clean Matte BB Cream based off of all the positive reviews. Here are the highlights:-I've worn this several times already ALL DAY and my skin has not broken out once.-I apply this with a slightly damp beauty blender and while the finish is not exactly matte, it's beautiful. It doesn't even look like you're wearing makeup; it dries to a soft dewy matte finish (if that's a thing!) I DO wear Maybelline Blur primer underneath.-Again, this DOES NOT LOOK LIKE MAKEUP ON YOUR SKIN! Very very natural finish all day.-Did not prevent my face from getting oily throughout the day, but it's fine, I just blot. The finish still looked natural and healthy all day; no caking, no oxidation. The staying power is impressive given that it's just a bb cream.-The coverage is about light/medium. If you have a ton of blemishes you are trying to cover, you will likely need a lot of concealer.-I was really upset that there were only so few color options available, so I bought 3 of them (light, medium and deep) so that I can blend my own color depending on how tan I am. The darker colors are very warm, so I blend in a little bit of LA Girl Blue Pigment. This stuff is awesome!-Even though there are very few shade options, I realized that since this is not a full coverage foundation the colors just blend in nicely with your skin tone as long as you selected a close enough match to your color. So don't stress too much about the color choice and buy multiple colors if needed and blend your own custom color.Overall, this is an amazing bb cream and I think I will replace my L'oreal foundation. I LOVE that it looks like I'm not wearing makeup and the fact that my face doesn't have pimples all over it at the end of the day when I wash this off is just awesome! Definitely worth a try!!

SCENT: This bb cream definitely has that makeup smell, but I find it much more tolerable than the maybelline one. COLOR: I got medium dark. I would say I'm a typical brown tan color for south asians, but this color was slightly too dark for me until my face actually got some sun and tanned a bit. Something to be wary of. Medium would've been too light for me at any time. APPLICATION: I find this applied better with my fingers than with a sponge because the sponge absorbed some and/or made it a bit patchy. It blended seamlessly into my skin with my fingers, using some tapping motion on spots where I needed more coverage, and normal rubbing motions everywhere else. COVERAGE: It has pretty good coverage compared to the maybelline one. It covered my red pimple pretty easily, but still looked super natural. With concealer, it would probably look like a medium/full face. I don't use concealer with it because it looks natural without + dont need it. FINISH: For a normal/sometimes oily skin type, it definitely helped mattify my face a little bit. I usually always have to set makeup with powder, but I didn't with this because it was such a light application. A setting spray helped it look more alive but it looked fine without too. Only have worn it for max 8 hours at a time, so don't know how it would last all day. By the end of the 8 hours, I was still semi-matte. OVERALL: I was on the fence about it at first, but for the price it's definitely worth a shot. With a brush you could probably get more coverage, and if you mixed in a glow product with it I imagine it would look nice too.
