Here are BB creams that are suited for sensitive, oily, and other skin types. I’ve also listed out bb creams for fair skin, brown skin, etc.
What is your daily make up routine? A make up base with a concealer, A kohl and a lip color ? How many of you are comfortable using those cakey and heavy foundations for your daily look. Things have changed now.
Now we want something which would feel light on the skin almost like a second skin and give a decent coverage as well. Hence BB creams are invented. BB creams are nothing but the blemish balm or the blemish base.

This is lighter than the foundations and can be used daily to get the even toned look. Like foundations there are tonnes of brands to choose from for bb creams.
Some of them just offer coverage while some of them come with added benefits such as dark spot removal, sun protection and even the anti ageing. Confused which one to choose? Take a look at the below options.
How I tested the top BB Creams?
I tested out these BB creams on my own skin and then rated them on a scale of 1-5 based on the following parameters.
- Coverage – I checked if the BB cream offers good coverage. That is, if it has good pigmentation.
- Moisturization – I also noted if the BB creams moisturize your skin or if they are purely for cosmetic benefit
- Finish – I checked the finish of the BB cream whether it’s matte or satin or glossy after you apply it.
- Formula & Ingredients – The formula of BB creams is also important. It should be non-comedogenic and suitable for sensitive skin.
Best BB Creams 2022
1. Garnier Skin Naturals BB Cream SPF 24/ PA +++

I have been using this product for a few weeks now and I am still loving it.
It’s a great BB cream that gives you the perfect amount of coverage without looking cakey or heavy on your skin. T
he light weight texture is easily blendable into your skin and dries instantly so there is no need to wait like other products do.
I am a fan of this BB cream. I use it as my daily moisturizer and also to keep my skin from getting dark spots. The SPF 15 which is very important for me, because I burn easily when sun exposure is too strong.
Also the color is perfect for my skin tone. The product itself comes in 4 shades so you can find your perfect match!
The only issue is that the light, vitamin C-rich formula might not suit dry skin. It’s great for oily skin but not dry or sensitive types.
Pros:
- Contains vitamin C that helps lighten skin

Cons:
- Doesn’t suit dry skin

2. Maybelline New York Clear Glow BB Cream

I got this product as the Maybelline makeup brand is one of the most popular drugstore brands in the world. So I thought this had to be good, right?
Unfortunately, this BB creams is a very generic one at best. It has only 3 shades which do not offer much skin shade variety and the formula isn’t that special either.
The only thing that stands out in this BB cream is the coverage. It has almost got a foundation-like texture that instantly conceals blemishes and pores.
My complexion look super refined after I had used this BB cream.
It did keep my skin hydrated, but it has a matte finish and isn’t very nourishing. So I suggest using it if you have combination to oily skin.
Dry skin types are better off with either using a different brand or using it as a light foundation after applying a richer moisturizer underneath.
Pros:
- SPF 21 helps protect skin against UV radiation
- Matte finish controls oily skin
- Very good coverage and completely conceals pores
Cons:
- Contains perfume that might trigger sensitive skin
My Ratings:
- Coverage – 4/5
- Moisturization – 4/5
- Finish – 4/5
- Formula & Ingredients – 4/5
