What is BB cream after all ? BB cream is the hottest beauty products in the world right now. BB cream serve as a makeup base, foundation, moisturizer and sun protections. Not only do they cover blemishes, they also have soothing, healing properties. Not all BB cream have all these functions,there are many types of BB cream some need to apply after moisturizer, some without the SPF or PA.
BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm or Blemish Base, is a cosmetic item initially sold in Korea,Japan and other far east countries . But now there are several BB Cream brands which are locally available like first we were introduced to Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream and now we have got quite few options to choose from.
BB creams usually came in "one" shade when they were introduced but now companies are coming out with different shades to suit everyone. I have three US Drugstores BB creams with me today to swatch .

For Reference i am Mac NC 35 and swatch below was taken outdoor on back of my hand
in medium to deep , L'Oreal Youth Code BB Cream in medium and Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream in medium-deep
From swatches you can see that maybelline one is darkest and Garnier is lightest, L'Oreal Youth Code BB Cream has a bit of more yellow to it. Coverage wise i havent tried L'Oreal or Maybelline BB cream but from swatches Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream look the sheerest of all.
