I'm not one to sing the praises of luxury brand cosmetics, but there is a BIG difference between a drug store brand BB or CC cream and the high end choices. I would definitely recommend going more towards the $20+ price range for a great BB or CC cream.
After trying out countless brands over the years, I've finally settled on 3 favorites.
1. I discovered Dr. Jart BB Cream this month in my Birchbox. I had never heard of the brand and was iffy about trying it as I already had 2 favorites. But one morning I was in a hurry and the small sample tube of Dr. Jart was lying on the bathroom vanity. So, I grabbed it and quickly applied it. I was literally amazed by how well this concealed my redness and looked natural. Plus, it's a pore minimizer too!!
2. I've been using Boscia BB Cream for about 18 months. I discovered it after being given a few samples at Sephora. In addition to offering phenomenal coverage, this BB cream moisturizes like no other. When I use this BB cream, I often skip my usual moisturizer. A dime size dab is enough coverage for my face, which makes this tube last a long time.
3. Again, I have Birchbox to thank for introducing me to another great brand. I received a sample of Supergoop! CC Cream a few months ago and was anxious to try it as I hadn't really stepped into the CC cream arena just yet. CC creams focus a bit more on color correcting rather than moisturizing and lightening. Supergoop! covered my ruddiness without making me look like a stage actress. I still have to use moisturizer prior to applying this cream, but the the fact that my redness and sometimes blotchy skin were completed covered is worth it.
