AMW Reviews: Bobbi Brown BB Cream SPF 35 PA +++

I've always been a fan of BB Creams made in Korea and Japan.  BB Creams from giant cosmetic brands are okay but I find myself leaning towards the Asian brands.  

NOT UNTIL RECENTLY, I discovered a new BB cream that feels like a BB Cream but coverage is as good as foundation!

Thankfully, I went to The Ultimate BB Cream event or else, I would've picked a wrong BB cream shade!

AMW says ---
Pros

• Packaging.
• Gives a decent coverage.  
• Covers redness and some spots.
• Covers slight darkness around the eye area.
• Evens out the skin.
• Does not create white cast.
• Have 4 shades to choose from.
• No weird scent.
• Lightweight, non-greasy.
• Works for all skin types.
• SPF35 with PA+++
• I didn't experience any skin irritations.

Cons

• Price

Neutral

• The shades are more on the yellow side so this is good news for girls with yellow under tone.  
• Touch up may still be needed midday if you have very oily skin. 

Overall
Bobbi Brown BB Cream created a BB cream that looks very natural and feels like you aren't wearing any makeup at all!  This BB cream gives a decent light to medium coverage. 

Tips
from Bobbi Brown

• Apply a thin, even layer using fingertips, sponge or brush. 
• Can be used as a makeup base and/or lightweight foundation.

 from AMW

• Try on testers (PLEASE LISTEN TO ME ON THIS! lol)  I originally thought I'm a natural, but ended up getting a fair as it's the best shade for me!
• For a very natural look, use your clean fingers in application.
• For better coverage, use a foundation brush and apply using gentle strokes.  Pat in more product on areas that needed extra coverage. 
• You can proceed setting up with a powder or use your favorite liquid foundation for more coverage.
• A little goes a long way!  Apply more only on areas needed.

Will I repurchase?Yes!

To whom do I recommend this to?
All the shades would work well on Asian skin tone.

Before and After Application

The Bobbi Brown BB Cream evens out my skin but still look like I'm not wearing any makeup at all!  The redness around the sides of my nose and some spots on my cheeks were lessened.  I like it that it also helps cover some under eye darkness.
