Remember the samples I got from Fr3b? So I decided to compare all of them so that it might help some people decide.
Swatch of 4 BB creams
I swatched the cream and compared it with my existing BB cream from Skin79. From the looks of it, Skinfood is distinctlydarker and has a more pronounced pink undertone. BRTC Jasmine Water has a slight pink undertone, more towards neutral. Dr Jart Silver Label is quite like my Skin79, tending towards the more yellow side of the spectrum. Based on the colours, I will definitely not wear the skinfood one because I don’t have pink undertone. It’d look horrible on me.
I also applied some on the back of my hand. My vein being the centre line, I applied only on one side so you can see the effects.
See? It’s significantly pinkier on the side with the Skinfood one. This does not lend a natural look to my skin tone at all. However it has a nice smell from the added fragrance.
The BRTC also lends this slightly pasty look to my hand. Maybe I applied too thick, but I don’t foresee it being a good match for me.
So far I like Dr Jart Silver Label the best. It seems to match my skin tone – at least on my hand – and the coverage seems good, a little thick for my liking, but it’s good as makeup itself. It doesn’t really cover pores though; or perhaps my pores are too large. Gee. That is the overstatement of the year.
So I think if I had to choose one to buy after I finish my Skin79, it’d be the Dr Jart one. But now it’s back to getting more samples from Fr3b. :P
Which Skin79 Diamond BB Cream was that? Was it the Absolute Total one? :)
Sorry I don’t remember the exact name but it’s the light pink one in the squeeze tube, not a bottle.
