SKIN79 Super+ BB Cream - Gold

Info: 22, ghost pale, oily and congested/acne prone skin that is prone to dry patches. I apply a topical retinoid/anti-bacterial (Veltin) every night which is helping to clear up my skin, but does make my skin sensitive to most everything. Makeup tends to look patchy in dry spots and non-existent in oily spots. I also have a fair amount of acne scarring on my forehead. Before ordering I hemmed and hawed over which version to go with, Gold or Pink. Seeking out zillions of reviews, I figured that Gold would probably be a better suitm due to the dry patches of skin I tend to have. I ordered this off of amazon but fearing a ripoff, I spent the extra money and bought it directly from the Skin 79 seller, so I know for sure it's the real deal. Long story short: I'm in love. I think the reason I'm obsessed with this is the reason why lots of people have a hard time with BB creams: the color. I have the skin tone of Casper, and finding a light enough color is often impossible; MAC's NW/NC15 are too dark for me. This color of this BB cream, however, is PERFECT. It has a slightly gray tint, but oxidizes and takes on my pinky skin tone. I apply with my hands, letting the warmth melt the product into my skin. I just put a light layer on first, probably only half a pump, and then go back and use it as a concealer. No, it's not full coverage, and no, it does not completely mask the spots, but it does conceal quite well. It makes my skin glow and look NATURALLY healthy, which is more than any foundation or tinted moisturizer has ever done for me. As far as the skin care benefits, it's a little hard to tell. I've been using this since January (five months) nearly every day. My skin felt smooth, and my acne has subsided. However, that could be attributed to the topical retinoid I use every night. BUT, I've gone the past three weeks without it and I have broken out here and there, so may it was helping more than I realized? PS: I think that it's a bit strange that the VIP gold comes with a free sample of VIP gold. It seems silly to market a product that I've already bought. I'd rather have a sample of something new, perhaps Skin79 skincare. Just my two cents.

This product is great for a select group of people. If you have oily skin or tend to touch your face a lot, this is not for you. If you aren't either of those two groups, read on. If you're looking for a BB cream, this is the direction you want to go. The drugstore brands in the US are decent for their price, but they're not nearly the same thing as the Asian-made BB's, nor do they carry the same benefits. This BB cream comes out a little greyish, but don't be disappointed. It oxidizes on your skin after about ten minutes to a much more natural color, but if you have a skin tone darker than a Fitzpatrick II (google it), this is not the product for you, because the color is pretty much only for light skins. Apply it and go brush your teeth or style your hair while it's setting to give it time to work. This cream goes on easily - I just use my three middle fingers and pat it to blend. There's no streakiness and it's very easy to blend because it takes about five minutes to really set or "dry". I don't have horrible acne, just the monthly crop, but I have issues with pigmentation and blotchiness from past issues, and this cream evens out about 80% of what I want to cover. I still go in with a mineral concealer and get the under eye darkness and any little spots that need more coverage, then finish with a powder to keep it all from shifting too much. As for the benefits: this BB cream (and pretty much every other one out there) claims to do tons of things, mainly correct, protect, and moisturize. It definitely protected my skin from sunburn when I was outside in the sun on a long photo shoot and my chest was burned (naughty me for not remembering sunscreen), and when I layer it with my mineral powder foundation, it gives about an SPF 40. Alone it's about a 20 or 25. The correction factor was awesome; much more than I expected and perfect for someone who wants a multi-use product or is just low-maintenance. The moisture factor was also good. It left my very dry skin dewy and cool, but it tends to crease really badly around my eyes, so if you have creasing issues, just be ready to check throughout the day and be ready to blend. In summary, I will absolutely be buying this product again. It's great for the price and looks fabulous on my models in the photo shoots I do, as well as in random shots on iPhones.

I received the product in about a week. The seller is located in CA so I didn't have to wait forever, if it came from Korea. My product looks to be authentic. I can't find a hint of fakeness on it which is really really awesome! The product itself is awesome. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because its not doing what others claim it can do. It's been more then a month that I've been using Skin79 VIP Gold, so I feel I've given it plenty of time to work it's magic. The consistency is thick like sun screen which makes blending it in kind of tricky. The one color that it comes in was actually DARKER then I thought it would be and I've been at the pool all summer long! However, it did oxidize and matched my skin tone perfectly. I find it easier to apply this BB Cream AFTER I've put on a moisturizer. I can blend it in easier and I feel it oxidizes instantly. This BB Cream doesn't give you full coverage per say, instead it makes your skin look porcelain like. It's weird because its a sheer coverage yet it evens your skin tone and makes you look flawless. It has a matte finish and controls my oily t-zone pretty well. Some state it makes your pores appear larger, I've noticed it's all in the direction your applying the cream. If I apply it in a different direction my pores disappear and are not noticeable. I chose Skin79 VIP Gold over the Skin79 Pink version because a lot reviewers stated they broke out while using the PINK version. I did try the sample of the pink version I received w/ my VIP Gold and while it was very similar to the Gold I like and prefer the gold over the pink.

Skin79 Super+ Beblesh Balm Bb Cream VIP Gold (Gold Label) is seriously the best bb cream I have ever used. That being said, it does appear kind of grey-ish at first. A lot of bb creams do this - you just have to blend a little extra and let it set. After a minute or two of setting, it warms up and looks great. It isn't going to apply the same way a foundation does; it applies more like a moisturizer. The reason I like it is because it has great coverage and doesn't feel too heavy or too greasy. The pink label by skin 79 matches almost exactly if you'd like a dewier finish with less coverage. I like that I can wear it by itself; a lot of companies that make bb creams assume you only want it as a primer and therefore don't make it with any coverage whatsoever. I have a paler shade of skin, and it's always been hard for me to find a makeup that matches well. I hate the way regular foundation feels, so I usually try to go with a bb cream. Other bb creams I've tried either look too pale on me, or too orange. Orange label by Skin 79 was too dark, Oriental Gold by Skin 79 was too pale. Too Faced and Tarte (my two favorite brands) both only offer options that are either too light or too dark for me. I haven't tried Dr. Jart or Smashbox yet, but honestly I liked this one enough that I really have no need to try those. The Gold Label by Skin 79 matches my skin tone perfectly, and that is nearly impossible to do for some reason. I really recommend buying one of the sample packs from amazon if you want to try out bb cream for the first time. That's how I was able to figure out that this one is my favorite. Also, I highly recommend a trip to Ulta or Sephora so you can try out some of the other brands as well. Sometimes finding the right shade for you will take a little extra research when it comes to bb cream, and it sucks to have a whole container of one that doesn't match (I have more than my fair share of those, hahaha.) Final tip: a little bit goes a long way with this product. Start small (like half a pump) and work your way up or you may end up with a lot of wasted makeup and/or too much on your face!

I absolutely love this BB cream. It offers a little more than light coverage, but not medium, which is great when my skin behaves. It does start off really gray looking, but adjusts within the length of my commute (15-30 minutes). When I started using BB creams years ago, I didn't like this one as much because the coverage was light but the cream felt a bit thick and heavy. Now, I find that the heavier consistency offers a lot more hydration and the color doesn't cling to the dry spots or crease where my skin is oilier. There is just one shade, so generally, those with lighter skin tones will find that this works with their skin. When I was slightly tanner, it did make my skin look a little light, but when I mixed in a dab of concealer a shade darker than my skin tone, it matched perfectly. Here are comparisons to other BB creams in terms of consistency, coverage, and color): Skin79's pink label BB cream has a similar consistency, offers slightly less coverage, and has the same color option. Etude House's precious mineral BB cream has a lighter consistency, offers slightly more coverage, and has 4 color options, closest is N02 Light Beige (I use W13 Natural Beige, which is a perfect match). Missha's M Perfect Cover BB cream has a similar consistency, offers more coverage, and has 5 color options, closest is #21 Light Beige (I use #23 Natural Beige, which is still a tad light and is heavily scented!!). Skinfood's Peach Sake BB cream has a much lighter consistency, offers similar coverage, and has 5 color options (I think, the website only shows 2 but I have #2 and #3), closest is #2 Natural Beige (I use a mix of #2 and 3 to get the perfect shade). Skinfood's Mushroom BB cream has a similar consistency, offers more coverage, and has 2 color options, closest is #2 Natural Skin(I use #2 Natural Skin, which is still a bit light). If you are just starting out with BB cream, have drier skin, and only need a light coverage, this is the perfect BB cream for you! I definitely recommend this.

I gave this BB 3 stars because when used by itself, it doesn't have great coverage or effects. My skin: Asian, Light to Natural Beige, 20 yrs, Fair with no acne, etc. I follow the Asian skin care routine which is: 1. Oil based make up wash (I use wipes) 2. Foam Cleanser 3. Toner 4. Emulsion (replacing lotion) 5. Essence (replacing serum) 6. Moisturizer 7. BB 8. Facial Mist throughout the day (make up setter & moisturizing effects) This BB looks decent if applied after my entire routine. Because of how dry and thick it is, it will not look moist or healthy on my skin. It's matte but it does not have enough foundation in it to give good coverage, it's more sunscreen and lotion in my opinion. If you want flawless coverage, this isn't the right BB. This BB is dull and dry. However for the summer, I will try to use this on hot days when I sweat a lot. For this BB, it's very dry and not runny. Which is why it's a good summer BB but it only works if I apply toner, emulsion, and serum. Otherwise my skin looks dry and unhealthy. BB creams that are on the runny side give my skin a healthy glow but I don't get that effect at all with this one. By itself, this BB doesn't work. I have to use it with skin care underneath to have it glow and cover my skin nicely. I guess it can give you a "natural look" but honestly, unless your skin is flawless it won't cover any blemishes or flaws and the before/after comparison of my skin with this BB has no difference. You can't tell I'm wearing it because it doesn't have good coverage on its own.

I’ve been using the SKIN79 Gold BB Super Plus Beblesh Balm for many years, and I’m currently on my fourth bottle, which should give you an idea of how much I love this product. This BB cream offers excellent coverage that evens my skin tone without feeling heavy or cakey. The formula is incredibly smooth and blends effortlessly into my skin, providing a natural and flawless finish every time. It also has a beautiful, subtle glow that gives my complexion a healthy and radiant look. One of the standout features for me is the SPF protection. Knowing that my skin is protected from harmful UV rays throughout the day is a huge plus. Additionally, the moisturizing properties of this BB cream keep my skin hydrated and looking fresh all day long. I appreciate the long-lasting product, meaning I don't have to worry about frequent touch-ups. Despite its durability, it’s also easy to remove at the end of the day, which is a big win for my skincare routine. Overall, SKIN79 Gold BB Super Plus Beblesh Balm is a reliable and high-quality product that I highly recommend. If you're looking for a BB cream that provides excellent coverage, skincare benefits, and a radiant finish, this one is worth trying.

I have been hearing about BB creams for while, but this is my first time buying one. They are so intriguing to me even though the concept is pretty straight forward (even obvious), perhaps because they come from a faraway land with exotic beauties who age way better than my people do :P... Anyway I figured I should get a legit Korean one in lieu of an American wannabe so I ordered this, in the fabulous gold container. So far, three days into everyday use and I really like it. It does go on gray, as everyone mentions, but the color changes in a few minutes and the consistency blends really nicely and evenly over my skin. After about a half hour it absorbs to be more matte, and the color gets a bit lighter, maybe a touch too light for me. I put bronzer over it, which I wear everyday so no big deal, but I do think this shade isn't quite perfect for my skin. After several hours as the product keeps soaking in my skin color starts to show through more and I don't look as washed out, but the concealing effect starts to wear off as well. But I do really like the way the way the product dries - as someone with oily skin it absorbs to a nice almost-matte finish, but has a pretty luminosity to it that is flattering. I have been using it without concealer but the coverage isn't quite high enough for that, still, as a moderate coverage base makeup I'd say this is really good, especially for the price. I am looking forward to seeing the benefits in terms of wrinkle reduction and spot correction and will definitely update this if/when I (hopefully) do! Still as a basic daily face makeup this stuff is good!

Im so pleased I decided on this product after researching various BB creams, wanting a lightweight product for work / day wear. This product is lightweight compared to foundation and with my 2 buildable applications, this really does even out my complexion and truly covers my dark blemishes and imperfections. Don't be scared by the grey colour on application because it oxidises and although its slightly lighter than my olive skin, I simply bronze forehead/contour face for warmer appearance. I have an oily complexion and it absolutely stays on with a lovely dewy finish. I personally should blot at lunch time to remove oil build up, to keep face prestine. This BB cream is great for youthful look and creating even complexion and brilliant cover, without that heavy foundation feel and stays dewy and in place all day.. Not bad price too :)

Ottimo prodotto, la bb cream migliore che esista. Già dalla prima applicazione rinnova la pelle. Tutte le altre sono tentativi di imitazione

Me encantó, se siente muy cómodo en la piel y me queda muy natural, mi piel se ve limpia y sana. Como recomendación para las que son nuevas usando este tipo de BB creams: es para pieles muy blancas y tiene un trasfondo rosado, se absorbe lento antes de fijarse bien a tu piel, por lo que primero podría verse muy muy blanco o grisáceo en la piel, pero después se adapta y principalmente es para darle un acabado natural a tu piel.

A bit expensive for a BB cream but no need to use a lot to get the desired effect so should last for a bit. Overall spreads easily and feels pretty light on your skin. Good moisturizing effect and the colour/ tint it provides matches its description- good for fair/ light skin tones. Does not leave a cakey layer but blends in nicely. Great experience with the seller, recommended.

je suis ravie par cette BB Cream que j'avais pu tester en echantillon. La couvrance est moindre par rapport à ma CC cream de chez Bourjeois mais elle donne mine et la texture est très agréable. Envoi soigné et le colis est arrivé plus tôt que prévu : annoncé le 18 Janiver, reçu le 12 ! Et j'ai reçu plusieurs échantillons dans le colis, merci !
