The Best BB Creams

5 / 11

For Those Seeking a Close-Up

The product:
Smashbox Camera Ready ($39)

The story: Davis Factor and Dean Factor, great-grandsons of the legendary Max Factor, founded Smashbox with an eye on improving on-camera makeup. Now, their BB cream promises to even out skin tone, stop shine, and hydrate skin.

Sun protection: Very good. SPF 35 protects against both UVA and UVB rays.

What we like: It's lightweight, it blends easily, and it's available in five shades, from fair to dark.

What we don't: Not much, really. It's pretty great.

@ModernGraceKelly Thanks for the note. It's very lightweight, which I like. But like you, I wish it had sunscreen. Then again, I wish EVERYTHING had sunscreen. I'm planning to use mine at night for a subtle glow, or over my usual sunscreen to even out my skin tone.

I've tested the L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier and it sets on the skin. Most bb's just sit there or are very thick. This feels thin, covers, and isn't greasy feeling. I'd like some kind of physical sunscreen in it, though.
