We Rigorously Tested 13 of the “Best” BB Creams—These 8 Passed

Our Review: 

“To me, the formula is about as perfect as a tinted moisturizer can get. There’s no funky scent or heavy oily consistency, and it just blends into my skin so seamlessly without drying it out or making it break out. I can wear it every single day (and honestly do) and my skin is actually better for it. I’ve actually already been using this product for two or three years now, and it’s my holy grail. I love how seamlessly it glides on, and it blends flawlessly. The formula is just right for my skin so it never feels dry or flaky or, on the flip side, oily or heavy, like so many other BB creams I’ve tried have done. It also works as a wonderful base to makeup, and my cream blush, concealer, and bronzer all blend in well on top.” — Anna LaPlaca, Editor

“I have used many, many BB creams in my day, and I can honestly say that none have ever held up better than this tinted moisturizer from Chantecaille. I don’t know how they do it, but it genuinely looks like an eighth layer of skin—you can’t even tell you’re wearing any base makeup at all with this product, which is genuinely impressive. It does come with a steep price tag, but if there’s anything you’re considering splurging on, this is truly, truly worth every penny. The finish is dewy but not shiny, and it never pills over my skincare and sunscreen. Truly the holy grail.” — Katie Berohn, Beauty Editor

Customer review:

“Not to be redundant, but like the product name, this is just skin in a tube. It’s natural, dewy, and perfect if you’re going for the ‘I just woke up like this’ look. I wear this to work out and people don’t know I’m wearing makeup. I, however, know that my complexion is evened out. I have tried other name brands’ tinted moisturizers and found them too greasy (pancake face by three hours of wear in humid Alabama). This resists the greasy look for healthy natural moisture.”
