BB cream was initially called blemish balm, and is a hugely popular product in Korea. Usually offering at least two functions, it's the perfect touch-up tool for anyone in search of light summer makeup.

Dr G Hydra Intensive BB Cream SPF 30 PA++ (HK$232)

Combining the effects of a moisturiser and make-up base, a small amount covers the whole face, and helps to hold your makeup in place all day. A thinner consistency would make this even better.

This is thick and so gloopy it feels like greasepaint. Even using only a tiny amount didn't help. The colour was not good, giving a waxy appearance to the skin. The high SPF ensures no nasty rays are getting in, but it feels like air isn't getting in either.
