BB Creams and CC Creams Review



Name: Stila CC color correcting cream
SPF: 20 broad-spectrum, chemical and physical sunscreen included (octinoxate, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide)
Color: fair 01; yellowish but supposedly tinted green to help counteract redness, unflattering
Finish: dewy
Consistency: thin
Coverage: sheer
Durability: wears off quickly
Breakouts: yes
Size: 1.3 fl. oz.
Rating: 2/10, The color correcting is not flattering for me, it provides almost no coverage, and it doesn't last.
Would Recommend?: no


Name: Almay smart shade CC cream
SPF: 35 broad-spectrum, chemical and physical sunscreen included (octinoxate, octisalate, titanium dioxide)
Color: 100 light; too orange
Finish: dewy, may need a light powder on top
Consistency: like a thick foundation
Coverage: moderate, sticks to dry patches
Durability: moderate
Breakouts: no-- but I have not worn it for more than one day at a time
Size: 1 fl. oz.
Rating: 3/10, disappointed with the color and the consistency
Would Recommend?: no


Name: Benefit Big Easy
SPF: 35 broad-spectrum, chemical and physical sunscreen included (octinoxate, octisalate, titanium dioxide)
Color: 01 fair; good color match for me
Finish: matte, no powder needed
Consistency: powdery
Coverage: light
Durability: wears off quickly-- after only a few hours
Breakouts: few
Size: 1.18 fl. oz.
Rating: 6/10, It is a great color and I love that it is matte, but it does not last very long.
Would Recommend?: yes, it is pretty good for a one-step product


Name: Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer
SPF: 30 broad-spectrum, chemical and physical sunscreen included (octinoxate, titanium dioxide)
Color: Terre-neuve light 0; good color match for me
Finish: dewy, need a powder on top
Consistency: too thick, it feels like heavy sunblock
Coverage: moderate
Durability: moderate
Breakouts: some
Size: 1.9 fl. oz.
Rating: 5/10, I wanted to love this, but it feels too much like thick, gloopy sunblock that would melt off my face.
Would Recommend?: no


Name: Boscia B.B. Cream
SPF: 27 broad-spectrum, physical sunscreen included (titanium dioxide, zinc oxide)
Color: Light, decent color match for me
Finish: dewy, but not too much; powder optional
Consistency: thick, but not too bad
Coverage: moderate
Durability: moderate
Breakouts: few
Size: 1.75 fl. oz.
Rating: 8/10, This is my personal favorite. I love that it only has physical sunscreen, it is not too dewy, and it has pretty good coverage. The only downsides are the occasional breakouts and thick consistency.
Would Recommend?: yes


Name: Stila sheer color tinted moisturizer
SPF: 20 broad-spectrum, physical sunscreen included (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide)
Color: fair; great color match for me, brightening
Finish: very dewy, need a powder on top
Consistency: thin
Coverage: very sheer, lots of glitter/shimmer
Durability: limited
Breakouts: some
Size: 1.7 fl. oz.
Rating: 7/10, This is my second favorite. I love that is only has physical sunscreen and that it feels light on my skin. I do not like how shimmery it is or how dewy it is.
Would Recommend?: yes, if you did not need coverage
