Trying to find BB cream for Caribbean Skin. Tan. Does it exist?

 

[~ YSL MUSE ~]

My thoughts exactly.

I would like to try this but unfortunately my skin's a little too tan/olive for it. Oh well. Maybe when it becomes more popular they will start making more shades for darker skin tones.

I know they usually have like 3 or 4 shades, but yeah most of them are light..I didn't check the different colors, but according to my papers my skin tone is a medium shade

I recently purchased some BRTC BB cream and it gives much better coverage than I expected!I barely need concealer ( except for a couple of nasty cysts) It also gives a strange oddly coolness to the skin which is quite pleasant. Howver I always use primer and I was wondering if this will block the effect of the BB cream??? I tried it without primer but my pores are still quite visible .
Does anyone else use primer under their BB cream??

I don't need to. I have kind of obvious pores on my nose (blackheads ) and forehead, but when I use the BB cream it covers them up pretty well. Afterwards my skin looks very even. I'm currently using Skinfood's Aloe Sun BB cream.

Anyone know if Iloje Flobu BB cream is any good? The Soft Peachy site I normally buy the Skinfood from isn't working for me any more.

I sometimes use a primer under my BB cream, but to be honest I haven't noticed any great difference.

I'm a big fan of tinted moisturizers and I love what BB creams are suppose to do and would love to try it, but since this is a product from Asia unsurprisingly they don't make them for people of African descent. I hope western companies pick up this trend in the near future. I'd be able to try it since they'd come out with darker shades.

True enough...

So is this a moisturizer? Foundation? Huh?

I also ebay-ed BRTC BB cream and there are too many variations of the cream for my mind to make sense of it:

Any clarifications tfs-ers?

Recommendations on best BB cream to buy?

 

[Eurasian Mélange]

Wow! So many more different types since I last took a look at BRTC BB cream. I've heard that one is meant to be the best, though which specific one is it?! Also, the last time I checked out BRTC BB cream it was really expensive and I was happy with what I was using.

I've said it before but I really like the Banila Co bebe one

I use skin79 BB cream and I LOVE it! I hardly ever have to use concealer and it does give the flawless look

This one?

My before BB cream and after BB cream pictures.
I'm using the Banila Co Let Me BeBe cream.

I had to put on some lipstick I usually put on some powder to set the BB cream but since my skin is so dry I didn't want to do it^^ and yeah my hair line is weird

^ Where exactly did you put it? Your skin is so nice that it doesn't seem like you would need any - I can't really even tell where you applied the BB cream

Do you use powder to set because you prefer a matte finish? Or does it not look good without powder? It looks nice in the pic, not greasy at all.

I did apply BB cream all over my face, but it doesn't cover like dark circles, ace scars or acne..but since I don't have much of that ( use a concealer for my panda eyes ) it's ok, and it does cover my yucky wains and redness^^. I'll try to take a better picture next time.

I love using powder to set the foundation, I've always done that, and yeah I do like a matte finish because I used to have oily skin before, but now my skin is dry as a desert
I do think it look good with powder on, but my Clinique powder had a little accident in my suitcase so I don't have any powder with me right now^^

 

[*Jibrielle*]

loonaka: Yes, that's the one I use

You have much nicer skin than I do, Loonaka. Then again, for every one of us who thinks we have bad skin, there is probably someone who wishes they had it. I was really taken aback when people told me my skin was good. What, with all the hyperpigmentation, black heads and dark circles covered in one gigantic oil slick? You can't be serious!

Does anyone know a good site that delivers various BB creams to France/UK that is NOT the soft peachy website (not working for me any more)?

 

[loonaka]

Well you know the thing with pictures they don't tell the whole truth But I used to have very bad skin, red and pimply all over so I'm glad I'm done with that^^

I've bought false lashes and something else beauty related and they were quite nice and they ship to Europe^^ http://prettyandcute.com/
