Hello everyone!
Today I will be writing about The Face Shop Aqua Tinted BB cream. Let me start off by saying this is definitely my favorite BB cream I have used so far. One year ago I wrote a review about Etude House Precious Mineral BB cream and in that review I said that was my favorite but now I have a new one! Click here for that review.
This is the packaging (if it hasn’t changed since I bought this one). The Face Shop has been changing their packages for their products lately so this may have changed too.
This BB cream as it says on the packaging is a moisturizing and aqua type. It has SPF 20 and it is water based. It feels extremely refreshing and light weight on the face. Other youtube gurus have mentioned this BB cream as their summer favorite but I actually love to wear this even in the winter because of the moisturizing effect it has.
The color I own is No. 1 Light Beige, which is the lightest shade available for this BB cream. Even though the name of the colour is “beige” it still has pink undertones to it. So it looks good on my skin colour however 양승부인 (my friend) mentioned that this looks a little dark for my skin colour but this is the lightest shade so what to do?
When you first put on the cream it feels watery, thin, light weight and especially refreshing. The coverage is light but it can be layered on to make it medium coverage. In the photo above I put a thick layer of the product on my hand to show the colour and texture of it.
Even though the coverage of the BB cream is light it still gets rid of the redness I have and creates an even skin tone. It has a very beautiful, dewy finish to skin because of its moisturizing effects. However, the moisture it contains is in no way oily or will make you oily because it is a water based product. I have combination skin, where my nose gets very oily, my forehead area is slightly dry and the rest is normal yet this BB cream feels very balancing and normal on my skin. It also has a long staying power. The other day 양승부인 and I went to a theme park together and even with all the water rides, hot and humid weather my BB cream stayed in place but let’s be reasonable it wasn’t fully in place and needed a touch up once.
If you are looking for a light weight BB cream with a dewy finish and a light coverage this is the perfect one for you. It is great for combination type skin. During summer I definitely recommend putting a SPF cream on before because this BB creams SPF is not that high. During winter I recommend mixing it with a essence or serum for a more moisturizing effect and dewy finish because during winter it is very likely that your skin will get dry.
That is it for this post. Thank you for reading it, please like my post and follow my blog for more reviews and hauls!
