NO idea why this BB cream is getting bad reviews
-05.19.13
Quick Take: light weight, smooth, long lasting
I don't have any idea how to use foundation/concealer/etc. So I randomly just purchased a fool-proof bb cream in one shade and hope for the best for just some evening of my skin complexion! Oh my goodness is it amazing! It doesn't make my skin oily or orange looking like some say and blends great to my light skin tone. Will continue to purchase!!

Great daytime makeup
-05.13.13
Love how this product gives my skin a beautiful airbrushed glow. Its medium coverage which is unique for a BB cream.The color works for me during spring/summer but definitely is too dark during winter so its a seasonal product for me. I have tried many BB creams and I always come back to this one. I also started using it as a foundation base and WOW- awesome results.

Too dark
-05.11.13
This product doesn't adjust to your skin color despite product claims. It is way too dark for a light complexion. Took it back and no hassle about the return.

So far so good
-05.09.13
I received a large sample of this and have been using it for the past couple of days. So far I really like it. It evens out my coloring and looks much more natural than my foundation. While I am not going to give up my foundation concealor routine for going out or when I want something a bit more dramatic, I definitely am going to use this for my everyday/work look.
I am pretty dang fair, and I can see how this wasn't working on some of my fellow fair-skinned peeps. However, I have warm undertones and I think that's why it was working on me. It definitely gave me a bit of a tan. so it didn't blend PERFECTLY to my skin color. But it looks natural not oompa-loompa at all. I could definitely see it turning a bit orange though if you have cool undertones. When you first squeeze it out, it looks super dark and scary.
It also is a bit difficult to blend, which is a definite con IMO. However, I used a tiny bit of moisturizer to help blend and that seemed to do the trick.
I am definitely purchasing a full size as soon as I run out of my sample.

Oompa Loompa color on fair old me
-05.06.13
What a shame, as I loved the consistency and coverage, but this product is falsely advertising that 'one color fits all'. I tried it out on half of my face (as I always do with new products, so that I can directly compare) and as soon as I reached the under-eye and cheek are it screamed orange on me! It did not have great 'blendability' as I thought that I could work it further into my skin, but instead it went streaky.
If you have medium or darker colored skin with warm undertones then it may look fabulous on you. But it's def. not for quite fair/cool toned people, unless you like a positive make-up de-markation line.

Great BB Cream
-04.25.13
I really enjoy this product and have been using this stand alone instead of foundation. I've gotten a lot of compliments on how fresh and glowing my skin looks. The product itself does smell a little different and it is a bit runny. Also, a little bit goes a long way. Putting too much on does feel too heavy on my face.

I'm fair, not as white as can be, but fair to medium,, and this cream says it's for all skin tones, but it went on and left streaks like I had a bad spray on Jersey Shore tan... it was just awful...

didn't love it
-04.24.13
I really liked this in the store, but when I used it at home it was a different story. When applied, it seemed to glide 'over' skin, and not really absorb. I used it 3 times before I decided to return it.

Pros and Cons
-04.14.13
Quick Take: overpriced
This product has some excellent ingredients and I enjoyed wearing it. The problems are minimal: really thick coverage (which I dislike) and the shade is too orangey/dark for my light complexion. Otherwise, I would use it regularly. I think the price should be cheaper since it is not such a versatile product.

In Love With This Product!
-04.12.13
So clean feeling with great coverage! Lasts all day! I'm in my early 20's- And my mom and I both get compliments and people always want to know what kind of foundation or skin care we've been using when we wear this. I call this Sephora's hidden treasure.

Quick Take: amazing
Absolutely love this BB cream. After trying several other brands and being disappointed, I was pleasantly surprised to find this not to be too heavy on my face. In fact, this BB cream adjusts to your skin tone so looks more natural.

Odd color
-04.11.13
I have olive skin and I assumed this would work for me given what others have said. I returned it because the color was totally off. Wasn't crazy about the texture, coverage or smell either.

disappearing act
-04.09.13
Quick Take: highly blendable, sheer but skin-perfecting
I first tried Dr. Brandt's Flexitone BB Cream after receiving a sample of it in a Sephora VIB bonus. It blends so easily and virtually disappears and becomes one with your skin. It is designed to match any skin tone and it certainly blends in perfectly with my fair skin. When smoothing it on you may notice little flecks of red, black, etc. in the cream which then blend to create the perfect match for your skin. Also, it has sun protection so it is a great day cream/tinted moisturizer/foundation etc. I don't like the feel of heavy creams and foundation so this was the perfect choice for me; light and luminous.

Not so good
-04.04.13
Quick Take: awful
I usually buy maybeline BB cream, and i decided i wanted to upgrade my product to something not drug store brand. (ive gotten more spontaneous with my makeup lately) and i decided to buy a better BB cream. this left my skin looking like i was 12 and didnt know how to apply makeup. it gave me the "line" of death on my jaw bone, and left me looking two shades darker than i really am *did not self adjust* i had a normal skin tone and the medium maybeline worked just fine for me. i just took off the cream with water and it has left my skin irritated and dry and itchy. this was my first purchase from sephore and i will be retrurning it the same day.

Fantastic Foundation
-03.28.13
This is a great product...perfect coverage and you can't see you're wearing anything. On color matches any skintone so you don't have to worry about picking the wrong shade.

Too dark
-03.27.13
I found this BB cream to be too dark. After applying, my skin had an orange tint to it. The coloring of the cream also accentuated my imperfections rather than covering them.

So-So
-03.19.13
I have to admit this was the first BB cream I tried so maybe I expected way to much out of it. I actually returned it because I felt like it was to "makeupy" if that makes sense. I prefer the clean less is more look and I felt like this just didn't blend in with my skin.
