Aaa, I still have 20 mins before my next appointment J. Let`s put this time into a good use! Since I am in a hurry, I will use English >.< Sorry for those who have difficulty reading in English, bare it with me this time coz I have such limited time. This entry is made upon request, many of the readers ask me so much about which one to buy, Maybelline or Caring. So, i hope this comparison review would help you decide :)

Today I want to compare two infamous BB Cream which are affordable and available in Indonesia. They are Maybelline Clear n Smooth BB Cream and Caring colours BB Cream ( Everlast). I know that some of you are not familiar with BB Cream. I already explained it in my first post about Caring colours BB cream, just search through this blog J.  Hmm, anyway, BB cream is a cream, a lil bit like foundation, good for your skin, and it is called the secret of Korean actresses, since it is widely use in Korean movies.

                Above, there are swatch pictures of these creams. Maybelline has fairer color. It is going to look ghostly, even for me, when we first put this cream on our face. It will oxidise later and matches our skin tone tho. Caring colors has beige color, it sits just right on my skin tone. Caring colours is ahead in terms of consistency. It lasts four – six hours in me. Just like its name, everlast, it does last quite long. Why? It has a good oil control, of course. Maybelline only last two hours, and then my face will be VERY VERY oily I have to blot. They both are minerals BB cream, which are good J. Caring colours has tourmaline to

Caring is buildable. It is so smooth and creamy, I like it. When I am in hurry, I will not put any powder to set it. I end up having cute dewy look J. Most of the time I still put powder because I prefer matte finish. I also have flawless look after using this and a little loose powder. Maybelline is also buildable, but when u build this cream, make sure you blend nicely especially at your fine lines otherwise it is gonna left streak marks and cakey after three hours. Ah ya, I can`t go with only maybelline on my face. People are going to think that I havent shower because my face is too oily hahaha. I love to set maybelline with clear smooth compact powder ( my shade is honey). The coverage is super everytime I combine these two. Very flawless and my face looks totally fresh.

At the end, I think Caring colours deserves to get the trophy J due to its consistency, creamy texture, coverage and flawless finish. 

Basically Diorskin Extreme Fit Supermoist Foundation is a good compact foundation. Worth my investment. It felt very smooth after putting on my face. When I used this on my friend`s wedding, I got compliment from my friend that she liked my complexion a lot. Hehehe. It is also very buildable. I can have sheer complexion or even strong coverage when I need it. Application is easy. If I want a light coverage, I will use a large kabuki brush to turn this compact powder into finely milled powder. But if I need stronger coverage, I will use the sponge and put more in areas that need more attention.

                The coverage is great. It is able to cover my zits and dark eye circle. When I am in hurry and has no time to apply concelear, I will just put on this on my face and I am all set to go. Unlike another foundation or two way cake ( this is how we say compact foundation here), this foundation is very comfortable to wear. Light feel, like wearing nothing at all. I love this part of this foundation

This foundation would not last though L. It has no oil control. After 30 minutes putting this on my face on a hot wheather, my face would shine real bad. Like the whole face become slicky. Eww L So, I prefer to use this at night, or maybe at afternoon, but only after I put face primer on.  Moreover, this compact foundation is very costly. Of course, it is Dior >.<. It also oxidize and becomes orangey after some time. I recommend this for you who have a dry skin or normal skin J

Tips

Supaya BB creamnya lebih tahan lama di muka berminyak, lebih baik dipadukan sama loose powder J. Menurutku, kalau dipadu sama maybelline clear n smooth compact powder ( warna hijau), coverage BB cream ini jadi lebih bagus, terus lebih tahan lama. Mungkin karena compact powdernya shine free (bebas kilap) dan ada oil controlnya.  

Kesimpulan

BB cream ini lumayan baguslah. Lebih enak pakai BB cream ini daripada foundation. Tapi selama pake bb cream ini, aku ngerasa biasa aja, nggak ada efek “wow” sama sekali hehehe.

Hari ini aku mau bagi – bagi artikel yang kutemuin di majalah Popteens ( majalah fashion Jepang). Artikel ini tentang cara bikin shading hidung. Guna shading hidung ini untuk bikin ilusi hidung yang ramping, lebih mancung dan proporsional. Alat yang kalian butuhkan adalah:

Teknik yang digunakan namanya teknik shading sama teknik higlighting. Teknik shading ini pake warna – warna gelap, gunanya supaya memberi kesan lebih ramping dan lebih kecil. Nah kalau teknik highlighting pake warna – warna terang supaya memberi kesan lebih menonjol, lebih tinggi, dan lebih luas.

Nah ini dia majalahnya, pilih tipe hidungmu dan liat panah dan garisnya. Garis merah itu bagian yang dihighlight, dan yang biru adalah bagian yang di shading. Nah, kalian liat panahnya, ntar kalau nyoba, kalian gerakkan kuasnya searah panah yang ada di gambar. 

Selamat mencoba J
