Covergirl BB Cream Review: A Great Option for Summer Skin

As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors during the summer months, I'm always on the lookout for products that can help me achieve a natural-looking base without feeling like I'm wearing a ton of makeup. That's why I was excited to try out Covergirl's BB Cream in their new shade range.

The darkest shade could work for me after a day at the beach, and it's definitely possible to go even darker if needed. However, the lightest shade (510 Fair) still looks a bit too dark for my very fair skin. The darkest shade, 560 Deep, is also not quite right for me either.

One of the things I like most about this BB cream is its affordability - it's only $9.99 at Ulta, which is incredibly reasonable considering the quality and performance. Another pro is the liquid formula, which makes it easy to apply with your hands or a sponge. This is a big plus for me, as I often find myself rushing in the morning to get ready.

I do have to admit that one of my biggest complaints about this product is the limited shade range - there are only six options available. As someone who has been using full-coverage foundations for years, it can be tough to switch to a sheer coverage product like this. However, I've found that it's actually been really nice to have a break from heavy foundation and just let my skin breathe a bit.

The application process is also incredibly easy - it takes me about two minutes to blend the BB cream all over my face using a sponge. And once it's on, it looks like... well, like skin! It lightly fades and minimizes my blemishes without looking cakey or heavy. I've been impressed with how natural it looks, even in photos.

Of course, no product is perfect, and this one has its downsides too. For me, the biggest con is that it doesn't last all day without getting dewy. With my oily skin and the heat of summer, I find myself needing to touch up throughout the day to keep my skin looking smooth. However, I do appreciate that there's no cakeyness - even after several hours, my skin still looks good.

Overall, I'm really pleased with Covergirl's BB Cream and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a natural-looking base for summer. At $9.99, it's an absolute steal, and I think it could be a great addition to many people's beauty routines.
