worth the effort

I, like other reviewers, had a hard time finding the right shade for me. I've worn Bisque in the powder foundation for years, but recently lucked out and happened to be in a shop when the JI rep was there. She showed me that Warm Silk is the perfect powder foundation color for me, and then recommended BB3 in the Glow Time. Then she gave me an awesome tip that's changed everything for me---use the Warm Silk liquid minerals mixed with the Glow Time BB3. I squish one or two pumps of the liquid minerals on my thumb pad and one little dot of the Glow Time, mix them quickly w/ my foundation brush and swirl all around my face. It takes SO little time, blends beautifully and quickly---looks amazing AND lasts through vigourous workouts. I touch up if needed with my Amazing Base powder foundation, but I rarely need that. The liquid minerals is more of a serum/primer that helps the Glow Time blend perfectly and although it may sound like a bit of trouble, it is SO quick, easy and long-lasting.

Horrible

I received two sample packets of this bad and was excited to try after reading great reviews. I took the samples with me on vacation with no other foundations of BB creams as back up. Oh my oh my. The first time I tried this, if went on stiff and dry. The coverage is very full and I looked like a mime or a geisha girl of Michael Jackson. And the color is comparable to what I normally wear. This BB cream looked so cakey on my face that it looked and felt like stage makeup. For reference, I only used two drops from the sample packet. I was not impressed by it and had to go to a drugstore and buy a temporary foundation. My foundations and BB cremes are Chanel, Guerlain terracota foundation, 3lab BB, dior nude bb.

Not for African-American Skintones

The color tint to this product is very flat and it smooths over like paint. Its wasn't made in respect to those with different undertones, textures, etc. It's an awful product for the price. I wouldn't recommend it wholeheartedly, if there are alternatives that you can find to this product, by all means search. You won't find what your looking for here. Very disappointing.

BB Glowing!

I absolutely love this as my every day, all day foundation! This BB Cream leaves your face feeling so soft at the end of the day when you remove your makeup. I love that it offers a light, smooth application (I apply it with my fingers) and it leaves your skin looking and feeling so soft! The downside, and the reason I didn't give this product 5 stars, is that they really need to come up with a shade that is between the 5 and 7. I can't emphasize this more, because this is a shade too light for me, where the 7 is a shade too dark. So, I go lighter with the 5 and use a bronzer over my cheeks, chin, nose and forehead to allow for a slightly darker shade and a nice finished/polished look.

Great product but not my colors

If this had come in something a bit closer to my skin tone it would have been my perfect BB cream - hopefully that will happen in the future. I am MAC NW25 to 30 depending on season, Chanel BR 42 to 52. I tried this in 5; it made me look like a ghost although it wasn't yellow toned. I went to 7 which was a bit darker but very yellow toned and I looked jaundiced. However the product itself it great - excellent coverage for a BB cream. Went on smooth and not greasy or heavy. No offensive odor which I have found I dislike in other brands such as Clinique. The amount of product is great, but I have no need to mix two large tubes of this to get a color that still isn't quite right. My skin liked it too and felt good after using it. I am with other reviewers that say it would be helpful to add more shades, for me less yellow.

Love it!

I love this BB cream and let me count the ways: * Great coverage with satin finish = covers red and No additional foundation/powder needed. For a "full" coverage, I use little bit of Kevyn Aucoin's Skin Enhancer as a concealer using my Beauty Blender. * Mineral based * 1.7 oz of product which is more than you get with most others. (better price per oz.) * Sleek, tube packaging = no mess and great for traveling * Easy application. Can be applied with a Beauty Blender/sponge, fingers, or foundation brush for different effect and finishes. Blends beautifully However, one star shy from a perfect score for: * Price - you get little more product than some others but still not cheap * Low spf - I prefer min spf 30, so I still have to wear higher spf sunscreen underneath. If you don't mind the two 'cons' this is a great product to try!

Not for every skin type

I really,really, tried to love this product. When I finally found my color ,I learned that a little goes along way.The protection and full coverage is fabulous.My only disappointment was the the texture it would leave on my skin. I tried 5 different primers and 2 different spray mists, seeked advice from 3 beauty experts at Nordstroms and nothing could camouflage the blotchiness and visible pores once my skin oxidized with the cream. Ultimately, I decided it's a great product, but not for my skin.

Bring back the old formula; new formula is bad

Disappointed by the new formula. The only one had a thicker consistency, fuller coverage, and lasted all day. The new formula is thin, and very light coverage, and starts to move around and come off in oily areas around my nose. How can I get access to the old /original BB cream?

Coverage with a natural look

I tried this as a sample and love it. Living in a hot climate, it stays put and really brightens my face like I have used an illuminating base. Very pretty with a minimum of time spent. Makes a good concealer around the eyes also. The perfect product with sunscreen over moisturizer for me at age 65.

Not For Me

This is the first Jane Iredale product that is just "not for me". I have sensitive, mature skin (normal to dry); and the BB Cream felt too dry on my skin by the end of the day. I believe BB Cream would be great for more youthful skin. My perfect combination seems to be Smooth Affair Facial Primer, Liquid Minerals Foundation, and Amazing Base Loose Powder. My skin seems to love this combination, too!

SUPERB COVERAGE!

Oh wow, this bb cream says full coverage and means it! I normally use la prairie caviar foundation which is very good cov, but I tried a sample of this and believe it or not, the coverage is better. I use a dense brush to apply it...so perfect! My skin is pretty fair, usually second or third shade up from the fairest in anything...this one #5 is a perfect match for me. At 55, I dont care for a matt finish so I use just a little powder with some shimmer in it, to finish.

Nice cream but beware

If you have sensitivities to sunscreen like I do then think twice about this cream. I can't wear anything with higher SPF's. I bought this cream and I broke out in places that I never break out on my face. I had to return the product. Otherwise everything else about this cream and this line in general is quite lovely.
