review of BB creams

 Hello,

I lined my current BB creams and I thought it would be fun too see all the different shades all together.


Here is a line of BB creams, first and last are Skin79 Soothing Angry Cat and Brightening Dark Panda, both with SPF 50 and Holika Holika Shimmering petit BB with SPF 45. 
The Skin79 have purpose hidden in their names. Soothing one is for oily skin with acne and Brightening is toning down the discoloration but when it comes to the Shimmering its name is is deceiving. There is no shimmers in it.


Here I swatched them in the same order and first, which is Soothing is the best color match for me. Shimmering one is too dark (I have to use it sparingly) and last one, Brightening is very yellow and a bit pale on me. If I would wear them on its own color mismatch could be a problem but I started to wear them after moisturiser and under foundation. I sandwiched it if you wish :)
Both Skin79 BB don't work well when my skin is on the dry side since they both emphasise dry patches so I try to avoid them on those days but then I use Shimmering and it glides like a butter. It also has a thicker, more traditional BB cream feeling and it covers tremendously well.
If I could take the Holika Holika Shimmering formula and take the Skin79 Soothing shade that would suit me the most.




Thank you for reading and have a nice day
