So I mentioned in this month’s goal post that I wanted to learn how to wear makeup. I never wore makeup daily before, mostly because I am too lazy. But now I’ve decided that I really want to look like a grown up and wearing make up is part of that process! I obviously need to adopt a routine that is quick, natural looking, and effective. I’m starting with the basics here – and when I got Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream in my most recent Influenster Vox Box, I decided to use it as a base and foundation for my makeup.
This cream is an all-in-one skin-perfecting formula that provides the following benefits:
- Refreshes skin instantly
- Brightens for a radiant glow
- Evens tone with a splash of sheer color
- Hydrates for 24 hours
- Smoothes for softer feeling skin
- Protects against UV damage with SPF 15
“BB Cream, also known as beauty balm, is one of Asia’s hottest beauty sensations. Its multi-tasking formula works to moisturize, brighten and help protect skin from harmful UV rays. This silky, tinted lotion blends effortlessly with your natural skin tone, helping hide imperfections and minimizing the need for concealer and foundation. With just one use, skin will be left glowing and naturally even.”
This picture shows me before I put on the cream, as well as after. To be honest, there is not much of a noticeable difference, likely because the tinting in the product is very light. This is ok with me, because I don’t want my face to become too tan or unnatural looking when I apply the cream. I then have the option of following up with a bronzer and / or blush.
I really like the feel of this cream. It is not heavy at all and is easy to apply smoothly. I also like that it has UV protection built in. I am happy to use this cream as the base level to my new makeup routine.
