Review : Benefit Bigger Than BB Big Easy BB Cream SPF 35


Product Description
Bigger than BB! Big Easy balances moisture and controls oil. The cushiony liquid to powder formula melts in like a cream yet finishes lightweight and velvety like a powder.
This multi-balancing, oil-free complexion perfector gives natural coverage to even out skin tone and conceal imperfections. Even better, the non-comedogenic formula contains ingredients known to soothe and comfort the skin and help fight free radicals.

What a mouthful of the name!, was my first impression when I came across Benefit Bigger Than BB Big Easy BB Cream SPF 35, complimentary from a good friend of mine, who received a 3ml sample of the Light/Medium 03 shade recently. She isn't one who is adventurous enough to try out new products so she passed it to me, instead.


Said to hydrate, balance, conceal, soothe and protect, Benefit Bigger Than BB Big Easy BB Cream SPF 35 can self adjust to your skintone to make it look more even and you can pat on to conceal and build coverage as much as you like.






Shade 03 was a perfect tone for me. I was duly impressed on how the soft and velvety texture blends effortlessly and seamlessly into my skin, leaving a very natural even tone thereafter.



I have to admit, other than the very distinct sunscreen scent which I dislike, I actually fell in love with the product upon my first usage, which doesn't happen very often, for me. Especially, when it comes to BB Cream. A worthy fight against my holy grail VMV Hypollergenics Skintangible "Faint"ation BBBB Cream.

However, based on its sunscreen ingredients, Benefit Bigger Than BB Big Easy BB Cream SPF 35 does not have a full UVA protection, hence a sunscreen prior to the BB cream application is extremely important.

In fact, regardless if your foundation or BB Cream offers broad spectrum protection, it is always recommended to wear a sunscreen because the amount used for your foundation or BB Cream will always offer less protection than an actual sunscreen, since you only use a light layer of the make-up on the face.

What I really like about Benefit Bigger Than BB Big Easy BB Cream SPF 35 is that, despite its high SPF 35, it feels incredibly lightweight, is oil-free and non-greasy. In fact, the application is like a dream come true. It is so lightweight and blends so well into the skin that you can hardly feel anything on the skin.

Oil-control was good, moisture was on point, redness was minimized, imperfection and blemishes were concealed moderately well. My skin looks smoother and more even-toned. And the matte finishing makes it an ideal base for those with combination or oily skin.

Other than the scent and its not-so-friendly ingredients, I am pretty fond of this product.

Benefit Bigger Than BB Big Easy BB Cream SPF 35 scored a 3.5 from 77 users on Makeupalley.
