"I was gifted with a BB cream straight from Korea (sadly, you can't buy it in the U.S.), I've been a little spoiled. No other BB creams could compare, and I felt destined to a life of only foundation — until this magical Guerlain cream came along. It comes out of the tube thicker than a tinted moisturizer, but lighter than a foundation, and melts into my skin with just a few pats of my fingers.
It gives me a dewy glow that doesn't turn greasy and lasts all day — an amazing feat, considering that it's incredibly moisturizing, as it's made with the brand's bestselling Super Aqua Serum. Plus, the scent is to die for. The subtle blend of rose, ylang ylang and jasmine is so Parisian and beautiful, I can't help but feel like I'm walking along Champs-Elysees when I smell it. — Allie Flinn, assistant editor

I've been loving the Dr Jart myself- perfect for my super fair skin.

If you like Dr. Jart+, consider the Black Label BB cream. The Premium BB was breaking down around my nose about midday, and the Black Label was recommended and it's just divine. If you have combo/oil/acne-prone skin - give it a try! Don't be scared off by the one shade or the price - the shade blends into even the palest of skin (this was recommened to me by a pale redhead), and it is so much more than a "tinted moisturizer"!

I can't believe how expensive these are. Not only do the Korean brands offer more coverage (these American BB Creams just seem like glorified tinted moisturizers), they're also half the price.

BB creams fill a need for just a little more than a bare face, but I would like to see more shades, most are too dark for me. But summer is coming!

I love Dr. Jart + Premium BB cream! It has the most protection I've seen so far and it s very good at evening skin tone and adding moisture.

I haven't had a lot of luck with BB creams--either the texture of the color is wrong. These are tremendous suggestions; thanks for listing the "star quality" of each.

if you want more coverage with your BB cream then mix it with some mineral foundation.
