Top American BB Cream
I have used smashbox camera ready bb cream in light medium for years and it's definitely in my must-have list. I use it everyday! It does an excellent job evening out my skin tone and has a beautiful matte finish. It doesn't have much coverage if you're looking to cover dark spots or acne scars, but I don't think that's what bb creams are for. It's supposed to have special ingredients that benefit...read more your skin but I haven't seen any improvements but I do think it hasn't made my face worse like some other bb creams and foundations have in the past. A bead-size goes a long way. A bottle probably lasts me about 3-4 months. I hope this product never goes away or else I won't know what to do without it! Tip: Just when you think you've finished the bottle, you can cut open the top and you'll discover there's a good amount left to last you almost another month!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Close, but No Banana
I expected good things from this Smashbox BB Cream, but the shade that looked like it should match ended up being WAY too dark for my skin. Now I mix a tiny bit with some moisturizer and basically make my own tinted moisturizer out of it. It looks and feels great and the tube has lasted me a lot longer because of it, but it's no BB cream.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Good but not the best from Smashbox
I love the shine control and foundation from smashbox but the BB cream feels weird. I have oily, dry combination skin, depending on where on my face so I need a product that can remedy that. I am willing to pay the right price for it but this is not one of them. It is an alright light foundation in my opinion but it is not what I expect of a BB cream. It does not moisturize as much as I expected i...read moret to. On a positive note though, the tints smashbox offer is a wonderful idea. Maybe in the future there will be improvements.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

The best I've tried
This is by far the best BB cream I've tried. However, I think the biggest drawback is the price. I won't shell out $40 for a bb cream. Way too expensive, imo. This has the best coverage of any of them. It's almost more like a medium coverage foundation. The vendor rep told me it goes on better with a primer and I agree that it does. Although I thought the point of a bb cream was that you didn't ...read moreneed a primer because it's built in. I don't want to pay $40 for bb cream then another $40 for a primer. If you want coverage in your BB cream I'd go with this one if you can afford it.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Love It
Got a sample of this with another Smashbox purchase...just loved it. It looked very natural and did not fade away at the end of the day. Also love the fact that I did not have to use a ton of moisturizer or primer underneath...just a touch of moisture on my drier areas and done, saves me time in the morning. Also love the 35 spf. The only thing keeping me from purchasing is the price (which is...read more why I gave it 9 out of 10)! It's pretty steep when there are so many other bb's out there...but I will be coughing up the price unless I can find something better.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

awesome
this bb cream is a life saver,it has become my every day go to 'quick fix' :),its super convenient, and a little goes a long way , been using my bottle for 3 months now, so the price is well worth it, besides what won't we pay for gorgeous glowing skin that looks 'au naturelle' I use the dark , and my shade has shifted somewhat lighter since my post baby melasma cleared (thank goodness),yet it sti...read morell blends in and i get great compliments on my skin. the best part is that my skin gets to breath underneath this, cos i apply this and set with my mac mineralize natural skin finish,& viola....great skin! my skin has a great texture,no breakouts or blotchiness since i started using this. also another great thing is that i never have to retouch during the day , it balances out the oily and dry zones on my face without over drying , although i must say that i apply my ester lauder daywear lotion underneath,just for a little extra bit of moisture ( am addicted to the stuff ...lol) it gives good coverage,no need for primer, and is great under foundation,if u want the want maximum coverage effect, i don't like that though,cos am an avid believer in the 'less is more' philosophy overall, great buy :)This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 10 people said helpful

Too expensive for what it is
Got this as I am a huge BB cream fan and firstly got it in the wrong shade. Gave it another try and bought a second one in a darker shade and its still not nice on my skin. It feels heavy and pasty and is difficult to apply and smooth out on the skin. Won't be buying this again..This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 2 people said helpful

Bummed
I had really high hopes for this BB cream but the cons for me were as followed. Not moisturizing enough, it really made my tiny barely dry patches look flakey and super dry, when I tried putting a smidgen of moisturizer over it it got all pilly and uneven, the color was a little too light and their dark was a little too dark, it didn't blend well near my hairline, I had to run in heels in the heat...read more to make a train and had the tiniest amount of perspiration... This made it pill off and was disgusting. Plus $40 for a tiny 1oz tube was a little discouraging. If you have oily skin I bet this would be a much better product for you. The only pros I have are that the coverage was great, light but enough to cover red spots, imperfections and little freckles I don't like and for the 8 hours I wore it I didn't have any breakouts (my skin usually breaks out with a dozen white heads an hour after using anything harsh or tinted).This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 10 of 11 people said helpful
