Skin type: Fair, oily, sensitive
Hi!
I am a BB cream person. On the rarest of occasions I wear foundations; even for parties, I put a concealer and top it up with BB cream and setting powder for an even finish. So a BB cream is like my BFF. I had previously used the High Definition Powder Cream by Nature’s Essence and it is good for regular wear. When I found Nature’s Essence Instaglam High Definition BB Cream there was no way I could let it go!
Price: Rs. 145/-
Product Description: This unique formula moisturizes the skin as a cream and magically transforms itself into a powder. A perfect blend of skincare and makeup that hydrates skin with a sheer hint of color for a healthy, dewy glow. Its lightweight formula is long lasting, non-sticky and glides on the skin easily. It instantly hides blemishes, dark spots and uneven skin tone. Its nourishing formula moisturizes the skin, plus protects the skin form harmful rays of the sun.
My Experience with Nature’s Essence Instaglam High Definition BB Cream:
It comes in a beige colored chubby tube with golden screw-on cap. It is cute and travel-friendly, and has all the necessary details printed on the tube. The tube was encased in a greenish-golden cardboard box which was sturdy and attractive.
The BB cream comes in two shades. One for Normal-Fair skin which is enriched with Grapeseed Oil and one for normal to dark skin and contains papaya extracts. I got the one meant for fair skin.
The BB cream has a lightweight texture and feels very comfortable. The consistency is not very thick nor runny, and it is easy to apply and blend. It goes on streak-free with proper blending and imparts a fresh hydrated look. It has very little coverage; it just evens out my skin tone, adds a little freshness and radiance. It has SPF 15 which makes it suitable for regular wear.
It is not completely matte or shine free. I set it with a compact powder to prevent my face from looking oily. There are minor blemishes near my chin and nose which look less prominent with this. Since I do not wear heavy makeup regularly, I feel it to be okay. The staying time is around 4-5 hours on sunny days.
However if you sweat a lot, this won’t really last long. On days the humidity is very high, my face and neck sweat like crazy and this disappears quite soon. If you prefer medium-heavy coverage and need a low maintenance long wearing base, this is not for you. For girls who wear minimal makeup to college or workplace, wear this and use a mattifying powder for a smooth and radiant finish that looks very natural. You can wear a concealer on prominent blemishes to hide them and then use this BB cream for a soft yet flawless everyday look. The fragrance is strong, but pleasant and stays for short time.
