Product Description
What it is: Covergirl Clean Matte BB Cream is a matte-finish bb cream created for those with oily skin. It is supposed to keep your skin “shine-free all day.”
Price/Quantity: $8 for 30 mL / 1 fl oz
Availability: Ulta, Target, Walmart, Amazon, Drugstores
Packaging: This comes in a squeeze tube with a twist off lid that stays on securely.
Smell/Fragrance: If you are familiar with Covergirl’s foundations, this smells just like that. It’s a very subtle, slightly sweet, creamy fragrance that I only find noticeable if I try to find a scent.
Performance
This lightweight BB cream gives me light coverage, blends nearly seamlessly with my skin, and helps to smooth the look of pores and texture. It’s the type of makeup that I could apply and wear by itself since it gives me a “no-makeup makeup” type of look. It’s great for quick everyday makeup. I also use it sort of as a tinted primer and use a higher coverage product on top. Used this way, it helps the high coverage product go on more smoothly and emphasize texture less than it would on its own.
The shade I chose, 510 fair, has a slight yellow undertone which works well for me to neutralize the pink tones in my skin. Because the coverage is sheer, the shades are forgiving even if they aren’t a perfect match for your skin tone.
It has a mostly matte finish but it does’t look or feel dry. I can wear it all day without feeling like I have to blot or use more powder in the middle of the day.
Worth Buying?
Yes. I think this is one of those products that could be universally useful to a wide range people. Even those that don’t typically like matte finish makeup or those who don’t have oily skin would likely enjoy this.
