Recently, Fair & Lovely too launched their own BB cream. After so many BB creams in the Indian market now a days, we get to pick the one that suits us better. I will review Fair & Lovely BB cream with its details and how actually to use this Foundation + BB cream. This BB product is actually a dual purpose product as this has the goodness of vitamin infused fairness cream and the touch of foundation which will give the skin a slight coverage and skin looks better than before. So, is Fair & Lovely BB cream really good? Read on the read, to know more about Fair and Lovely BB cream.

Experience with Fair & Lovely BB cream
This BB cream comes in a similar looking packaging as that of the earlier versions of the Fair & Lovely fairness creams like for the winter fairness cream, multivitamins etc.
I like the packaging as the tube is small thus can be carried in a small purse as well. Moreover the elongated tip of the tube helps to take the product out nicely. It has a smell similar to the other Fair & Lovely creams and I also feel that this fair & Lovely BB cream is the same cream with just the foundation added in it.
If you will see the pictures this Fair & Lovely Foundation + BB cream has a very wheatish looking color which is why this will be suitable or fair to medium skin tones very well without making them ashy. For darker skin tones, this BB cream will be only slightly ashy hence, give it some time after the application so that the shyness is reduced. I liked that the shade is not too light which can give ashyness on the face, like I have experienced with some of the Korean BB creams. This has a very universal color which on blending gets matched with the skin color. It gives a nice even toned look and the texture is not greasy at all. I find the formula of this Fair & Lovely BB cream to be very good for the oily skin as it is non oily and when I blend it on my face it feels just matte not shiny at all.
On the contrary, this non greasy formula of his Fair & Lovely BB cream will not do too much for the dry skin as you may know dry skin needs some extra moisture so if you want to try this for your dry skin then use a moisturiser first then use this cream.
I noticed that this BB cream makes the face look better and conceals minor flaws. My face is matte for up to 3- 4 hours then some oils will start to come on the T zone which is very oily.

Rating for Fair & Lovely BB cream: 3.5 out of 5
Take: I liked this Fair & Lovely BB cream for my combination skin as it is not greasy or oily. It makes the face look shine free and fill in pores and hides blemishes. The color is also good that matches most of the skin tones and is good for everyday use when I don’t want to use the foundations. This may not be the best BB cream for dry skin though!
May I know if this is available in the Philippines? Thanks.
Hi Love,
I really don’t have any idea of its availability in Philippines dear.
