I remembered from my first blog entry, I said it gave my skin a matte finish which is a plus for my combination skin in the hot summery weather, and I would test it out over the summer. After purchasing Lioele Water Drop BB Cream for almost 6 months, I guess it is only fair to do a follow up review of this product.
The initial application of the product was nice and light with a gorgeous matte finish. This might only work under the hot humid weather of the summer in Asia because it does not create any shine over the face. Its light and sheer texture will work best under the sweat blazing heat in summer. However during fall and winter, this may not be an ideal choice of BB cream. Due to the light and sheer formulation of the product, the BB cream failed to hydrate my skin after an hour of application. It gave me fine lines because it not only did not moisturize my skin, it in fact dried out my skin. I got dry patches on my chin and it increased the appearance of fine lines. Like most BB creams, Lioele Water Drop BB Cream’s color has the typical grayish tint and did not match my skin perfectly. A colored powder over the BB cream was needed to create a natural coloration, which adds an extra step to a supposedly convenient one step product and it is kind of pointless.
I am not saying this product doesn’t work; it just does not work well for me because it did not match my skin tone. Its formulation just was not hydrating enough for me. I will not recommend this product for people with dry to combination skin unless you are prepared to give your skin extra hydration prior to application, which in my context is not worth it to go that extra miles for this BB cream. I rather use a moisturizing bb cream because bb cream is supposed to be a quick one step product.
