Revlon has jumped on the BB Cream bandwagon and launched one of their own---or did they? A big pet peeve of mine is cosmetics companies that try to get in on a good thing (like the BB Cream craze) but then do it in a less than optimal way. Many of the non-Asian brands call themselves BB Creams but they are really tinted moisturizers.
So let's look at what a BB Cream is "supposed" to be about:
- light to medium coverage
- moisturizing (and sometimes oil controlling)
- Built in primer
- decent level of sun protection
- skin benefiting/anti aging ingredients
- either automatically adapts to skin tone or comes in several skin tones to match different depths of pigmentation
- Evens out skin tone
- Lightens skin/reduces discoloration (Asian brands only)
