BB creams to suit your skin

When you think about it, BB creams are still fairly new to the western beauty scene (they first launched in Australia in 2012 but have been a staple in Korea and Japan for decades).
Despite that, they’ve become a staple in almost every woman’s beauty cupboard and you’d be hard-pressed to find a brand that didn’t have a BB cream. And you know what’s great about that? You’re more likely to find one that suits your skin’s needs to a T!
Consult our guide below to find the perfect BB cream for you.
I'm looking for a BB Cream for...
Anti-Ageing Benefits
Dull skin
Pore-minimising
Uneven skin tone
Oily skin
With SPF
Bonus BBB (Budget BB cream):
Under $20
What would you like most from a BB cream?

I would like a combination of covering dark circles under the eyes, and decreasing my wrinkles

I really want to try BB cream, but I need to sort out my acne prone skin first. Putting anything creamy on my face makes me so paranoid!

I swear by my Skinfood Red Bean BB Cream :) it's good coverage and works well on my oily acne-prone skin!

Great range of BB Creams here. I tend to use Korean brands, but have recently bought the Garnier one that's anti-ageing

I can only use the lightest shades, sometimes finding one is hard

I love BB Creams, some though I find blend better than others. When they first appeared on our market they were certainly more expensive than they are today!

I prefer using BB creams in summer. I like them as they feel much lighter on my skin than foundation.

I'd like all those things in the one BB Cream! Probably a little too much to ask - especially because I'd also want all natural ingredients plus a SPF30+ in it that lasted all day long!

This was so helpful! Was able to find a selection of BB Creams to try out. Left out the headache and being overwhelmed by what is in the shops! Can't wait to give some of them a go.

I have tried a fair few BB creams but I still prefer liquid foundation as I find most BB creams have sheer coverage and are harder to apply. I have yet to find one that matches my skin tone well - it's quite hard when most BB creams only come in limited shades - light, medium and dark.

I have tried a few different brands of BBs and overall I don't have a favorite though when I buy my next one I think I'll try the Jane Iredale BB cream. I've heard good things about it!

Awesome, I love this article. I've tried quite a few bb creams so far but keep coming back to the Garnier one (although I know there is a better one out there for me!) Thanks bh.

I need one that evens out my skin tone, helps minimise pores and hides wrinkles and lines.

I haven't tried a BB cream yet, I think they would be perfect for a light weekend wear
