Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream

I cannot emphasize enough how much I love this BB Cream. Here are the looks [CLICK HERE, CLICK HERE] I did, using Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream [product details HERE].

Retail price: $49.90 (40g)

The bottle packaging of Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream is exactly like that of its Hot Pink and VIP Gold counterparts. I was never a fan of orange (color). That said, this cheerful shade of orange has grown on me somehow.

It contains SPF50+ PA+++ (protects skin against UVA and UVB rays) -- that means you can safely skip the sunblock.

The pump area is a fingerprint magnet! Easy to wipe off with tissue though.

Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream is formulated to suit oily/combination skin types. For those with dry skin, this may cause uneven patches. Do use a good hydrating moisturizer first and skip the use loose/pressed powder (to set BB Cream).

Remember to clean the nozzle area, after every use.

Press the pump lightly to dispense a pea-size amount for half of face.

I notice that it has a light citrusy scent, which smells nice to me.

A little goes a long way, as the consistency of this BB Cream is pretty thick. It reminds me of Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation, but not as thick. I find it easy to apply on the skin and blend out evenly using my fingers. It has a semi-matte finish, which leaves a luminous sheen on the skin.

The color is really light, more suitable for fairer skin tones. It has no obvious grey undertones. It has slight yellow undertones though. Luckily, it doesn't make my skin look yellowish.

I wouldn't say it matches my skin tone exactly, just a tone lighter. Well, I really like how it makes me look naturally fair... without looking odd when photographed.

Though the consistency of this BB Cream is pretty thick, it doesn't look or feel thick on the skin. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing a "mask" or anything. In fact, it feels beautifully lightweight and comfortable. Plus, it doesn't leave any sticky or greasy feel.

Coverage-wise, it's good enough to even out my skin tone and conceal my flaws. Medium-full coverage, I would say.

As you can see from the photos, it doesn't make my skin look in any way cakey. I really like love the nice soft-focus effect it has on my skin, which makes my skin look flawless!

I like setting Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream with Maybelline Dream Matte Powder. It IS the best combination for me so far, which ensures that the oiliness is kept at bay. Lovely!

That's all. Hope my review helps. Thanks for reading (:

  3. Unikgal, thanks (: Sure, I'll do a post on this LOTD. With regards to the eyelid part, I think it's the makeup and the photographed angle that make my eyelids seem to look more even. In real life, my right eye is still monolidded.

    Hazel, thanks (:
