Personal preferences aside, BB creams are a great skincare/makeup hybrid product. They're perfect if you're after the coverage minus the cakey feel. Plus, since most of them feature skin-loving ingredients such as vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, your face will be protected and hydrated all day long.

Directions

On the bright side, the staying power surprised me. Even on long days, it managed to hold up well without slipping off my face. So kudos for that! If they aren't already, BB creams should be on your must-have list, especially if you happen to love the TikTok-approved “no makeup makeup” look (AKA the “clean girl aesthetic”). In fact, I'll take a wild guess and assume that your very first complexion product was probably a BB cream (I know mine was). And guess what? Ten years after my teenage self tried it for the very first time, I became a beauty journalist and I'm still not ready to move on. I have reviewed some of the best foundations, skin tints and tinted moisturisers on the market, but it's safe to say that BB creams hold a special place in my heart. My skin is quite good, I don’t have acne or scars. But I do have some discolorations due to sun, and redness, and wrinkles. So for me a natural look just suits me better. If there is some redness or uneven skin that shows threw, I simply don’t care. If my skin were to look flawless I simple would not like the look. When I was looking at this product before buying it. A lot of people were saying that the color is rather dark. I decided to go for medium light, since I felt that is normally what I need. I also have yellow undertones so I do expect this shade to be right for me.

BB creams are ideal for creating a more natural-looking base or for those days when you don't feel like wearing a full face of makeup. They're made to provide you with just enough coverage to even out your skin tone, but not so much they mask your skin entirely. And the best part is that thanks to nourishing skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, they'll keep your face hydrated throughout the day, making it look glowy and feel extra fresh for longer. Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS.

Shop With Confidence

Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. More recently, my heart's been set on the newly launched Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm. Seriously, this might just be my top beauty find in 2023 and is definitely something that I'll reach for in the coming summer months. Why? Long story short, it's the perfect combination of everything I want from a lightweight complexion makeup product: it feels like skincare, yet provides just enough coverage to cover my redness with an added SPF50 protection as a bonus. The way its unique colour-changing formula adapts to your skin tone is very impressive, too. Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health.

(F.I.L. B228918/2) My thoughts on Loreal BB C’est Magic As a color match it is ok, but it is a little dark on my skin. During the summer time it matches me great but during winter I will have to use a lighter shade to get it to work. The BB cream is super liquid and lightweight, so it is easy to get too much product out. But just bare that in mind when squeezing the tube. Sadly it is really strongly scented. And it smells perfumy, which is really something I hate. The scent does linger for quite some time on my skin as well. Also, I noticed the texture was a bit thin to begin with, and that wasn't the most pleasant feeling on my skin. When I mixed it on my hand instead of applying to my face, it was fine. I also have super dry skin. And I really mean super dry. There are not many products that can make my skin feel amazing all day. And I don’t expect this one to do so either.

My thoughts on!
