Iv put my analysing skills to the test (Hey i didnt major in economics for nothing) and come up with this neat little analysis on BB Creams in India !
|
Feature |
Garnier BB Cream |
Maybelline Clear Glow |
Deborah BB Cream |
| Coverage | Low but evens out skin tone | Medium | High |
| Moisture Quotien | Does not Moisturize adequately, but slightly better than Deborah. | Moisturizes to an ok extent, but some flaky areas may remain | Does not Moisturize adequately at all, need moisturizer underneath or skin feels dry in half hour |
| Longevity | Lasts long | Lasts Long | Lasts Long |
| Ease of Application | Super Quick- Quick spread around the face in 2 minutes and you are done!!! | Takes some time blending in. Also takes time to settle into the skin | Quick- Blends softly and smoothly, but since its high coverage you may want to pay a bit more attention to key areas |
| Finish | Between Matte and Dewy. Really nice finish, natural looking | A little too dewy maybe? Can get greasy. | Matte |
| Other aspects | Can become shiney after some time, specially if not topped with powder and if you have oily skin | ||
| Shades | One shade but should suit a variety of skintones | 3 Shades available | 6 shades available |
| Best Suited for | Girls who don’t mind the lower coverage, but want a quick , effortless everyday option to look polished | Girls who need some coverage, and want a dewy finish. Who don’t mind spending a bit of time, topping up with powder to keep it from getting shiney. | Girls who want solid coverage on an everyday basis and need to keep the oil at bay, plus like the polished matte finish. |
Whats my favorite Well im not a B B Cream fan honestly- i just feel like they try to be Jack of all trades, but end up being master of none. Maybe that’s also because i haven’t tried out a true-blue BB cream from the orient, but i much prefer my L’Oreal tinted moisturizer for my dry skin.
However when that is not around, i usually use Garnier and on days when im heading out at night and i don’t want to use a foundation- i turn to Deborah for the higher coverage.

Great review! I have tried Garnier and Maybelline and prefer Garnier. Never used Deborah. Like you said, I prefer L’Oreal tinted moisturizer to any BB cream! [Medium complexion and thank God for well behaved skin].
Great Post! Very useful…

Great post!
I have tried both maybelline and garnier. And i like the garnier one better. Although yes the maybelline ones gives more coverage, i find that it takes time to blend and looksi a bit ashy. Also garnier one gives me a more dewy finish.. i have oily to xombintion skin.. so i think that depends from person to person.

Even though I am going through the Indian BB Cream phase and presently loving the Garnier and the Deborah BB Creams, I agree with you on “the master of none”. May be because my skin is full of blemishes and I prefer higher coverage?
A very useful post for your Indian readers. At least for people like me who are just getting this fever.

I end up not loving any of them
i KNOW same here. yet to find one i love using everday
Nice synopsis !! Useful !
I like the garnier one more cos it’s perfect for my skin tone and it really does brighten up my face.
Maybelline on the other hand looked a little whitish and greasy on me..

Thanks Mehak!

Very helpful post!For summers to keep oily skin at bay, deborah BB cream seems to be a good option.
What a thoughtful post Mehak! Now I know that the Garnier BB i use is really ideal plus I should get the Deborah one asap for nighttime:)
i like the garnier one..it has a sweet fragrance..deborah m yet to try..:)..i loved ur comparison

I am surely not impressed by these creams… Does nothing much to my skin.. Over the period I have been disappointed by them, My last hope is to try some Korean one else I will not further invest a single penny on them

i prefer foundations and then tinted moisturizers.We could really do with a tinted moisturiser with luminizers and spf coverage ! i don’t understand why BB creams have become such a rage ! Why are companies not concentrating on making tinted moisturizers with Vit C or someting which is actually need of hour ? How abt making tinted moisturizers for Indian skin !They could really also focus on serums with vitamins -affordable range…something which actually benefits the skin !

I know..thats why i like loreal TM…its moisturizes really well plsu SPF 50 plus UVA and UVB rays.
thanks so much MEhak. I have never tried a BB cream yet. most often than not i mix a drop of my foundation to my regular moisturizer. i have never been able to get hold of Ponds Tinted TM till now,.. do u recomment Loreal TM.. has it been reviewed on P&B??
HI Gurpreet, its been reviewed. just do a search.
nice… i like this kinds.
. remember, I had done a similar post! 
Mehak, naira uses and recommends
Missha m perfect cover b.b cream (its got 40 spf as well apart from everything else). Showed it to me. True BB creams look greyish until after a few minutes when they seem to take on your skin colour : looked very good indeed on her.
thanks bawa maasi! Will try it out!
since missha is here now..u must try their bb cream once

Thankd Ansh! will do!
Here where?
Nice post. I have tried Maybelline but I really love my Skin 79 BB cream (pink bottle). Apart from decent coverage and settling in, its texture is thicker so covers the lines on the face giving a smoother look… the best part abt the Korean vendors is they charge around 3 dollars fr shipping…
There’s one more in the market now from Bourjois. Anyone tried that?

Very good comparision mehek.. i am using Garnier bb cream and i find its better than Maybelline
Hi. Thank you for such a nice review. I’m looking for a cream that moisturises my skin to fair extent. I don’t think any of them fit the bill. Though I’ve heard of VeryMe Peach Me Perfect cream. The cream is as efficient as any other BB cream. Kindly review this one.
Its already been reviewed sanya!
