Makeup Wars ~ My Favorite BB Cream

October 29, 2012


BB Creams are where it’s at in terms of face product.  There isn’t any other product out there that is more talked about this year.  But with SO MANY out there, how do you know which one is right for you?

For this installment of Makeup Wars, my fellow enablers and I are going to share with you our Favorite BB Cream!

I have two BB Creams that I adore, and they both serve different purposes for me.

On the left is the 3LAB ‘Perfect’ BB Cream SPF 40 PA+++ in #02.  This is a full coverage BB Cream that I like to use for an evening out or for any type of event where I need my face to look flawless.  A little goes a long way, and you have to watch not to over-apply so that it doesn’t come off looking cakey.

On the right is the Bobbi Brown BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 35 in Fair.  This BB Cream still provides a bit of coverage while still keeping the skin looking dewy and natural.  This product smooths on effortlessly and provides an excellent base for your daily makeup.

My favorite out of the two is definitely the 3LAB just because of it’s coverage and benefits, but the price point has me using it sparingly and I tend to reach for the Bobbi Brown more frequently.  You can click the links to see full reviews and swatches of the products talked about in this post.

See what the other participants in this installment of Makeup Wars came up with!  What WILL we think of next?!

    I’ve heard great things about both of these products. I would really like to try the Bobbi Brown one!

    I tried the 3 Lab too but like Phyrra, it was too dark for me. Oh well! I wish it would have worked for me! 🙂

    Oh, the 3Lab is one of my favorites too. Never did sort out what I was supposed to do with the roller, however.

    I’d love to try the Bobbi Brown one! My favorite so far is Dior Hydralife, but I think it’s a little too dark for my autumn/winter skin tone. It’d just be nice to have something like a tinted moisturizer with SPF for every day!

    Nice choice in that Bobbi Brown BB Cream! I guess we have similar taste.

    I agree the 3LAB is expensive but I love it. I’ll have to check out the BB to supplement–good idea!

    I was able to try the 3lab one and it was great (felt great, good coverage, etc) but too dark for me. It’s a nice, but expensive, product.

    The 3LAB is definitely an elegant BB Cream; still haven’t gotten around to trying the BB! Good recos!

    Two excellent choices. I think those are my favorites among the US brands. I tend to use Skin79 from Korea the most, but I use the 3lab a lot too.
