QUOTE(ryanconferido @ Feb 9 2012, 02:28 PM) let say, mix & match. Wow, why does it sound so much like girls making up? I normally a tab of moisturizer with few drop of BB Cream... for sheer coverage; otherwise depend on how much you want to cover, and add more of BB cream... (moisturizer cream base) I used to apply BB Cream under my eyes (dark cycle)... to lighten up my cheekbone... after that a tab on my chin. and highlight my nose as well. I am not apply to whole face, because i dont want my face look 'flat'... Because of my face kind of oily + combination skin... after BB Cream, i also apply transparent loose powder... look matter and flawless ^^ Dont forget you must remove it by makeup removal as well.... Tinted Moisturizer to let you look healthier, but less coverage. Included sunblock, moisture, and foundation - all in one... BB Cream is more oily, also sunblock, full coverage (depends on you how to apply)... another suggestion, when apply moisturizer, during semi-dry, apply BB cream, it would be more easier to apply, evenness, as well as, sheer and look natural. Hope this will help <3 I mean it's nice and stuff but my oh my, how much time do you need to spend? |

QUOTE(hengguowei @ Feb 10 2012, 09:54 PM) Wow, why does it sound so much like girls making up? Yes, it can be. It depends on your goal. Mine is to cover a minor stubborn problem, on skin that is way way over age 20.I mean it's nice and stuff but my oh my, how much time do you need to spend? Ryan is probably a young stage performer, or aspiring model, so needs the maximum. He probably doesn't go out in the noonday sun with so much cover. If you have normal skin with only some uneven colour or don't want to look greasy, or just want to keep your skin moist and protected with sunblock, then just a drop of men's BB dotted on 2-4 spots then patted down is enough. Less than one minute to apply, only one step. If you want to cover badly discoloured patches, sunburn, freckles, pimples, wrinkles, pits, flakes etc. -- you might now imagine why more steps need to be done with more tricky stuff. How do you think women look so good and need so much time to get ready ?!?! 111 |

If you I have small areas to cover, I use Body Shop green corrector stick number 2 (darker). General larger areas of face, Face Shop Neo Homme BB cream (for men). One drop on each cheek, forehead, chin. Tap, tap until even, let it oxidize to match skin colour.I don't do this every day. It may need a makeup remover wash to get it off at night. "Biore oily" is OK, but there may be more gentle ones I haven't tried yet. @Maggie: Except for the above, I use raw honey, no commercial cleansers, but I don't have acne, so don't know if this would work for you. |

QUOTE(hengguowei @ Feb 11 2012, 07:28 PM) Thanks for the tips. Anyway, you mean normal face cleanser can't clean it out? I'm not sure. Men's BB is more sweat resistant, so also more waterproof. Go to a shop, try the tester on your arm and see if it washes off later. Overnight on skin is not a good idea.And do you know how much is the Neo Homme BB Cream? Thanks! Corrector stick about 40+ Face Shop BB 50+ big tube Maybelline or Silky girl (women's BB) 16-20 smaller tube Remover 10-20 Yup, not exactly cheap but I talked to someone who uses women's famous name brands at average RM$100 for each item! AFAIK Skin Food BB is unisex. Don't know but it might have whitening and shiny ingredients like women's BB. 111 |

Overnight on skin is not a good idea. I have googled around and people said that Skin Food BB has quite a light shade. Yeah, it's not cheap but I have searched around LYN for brands like Skin79 and BRTC which are even more expensive. I will just get the Face Shop BB and give it a try. Thanks!

bought a tube of Skin79 Homme BB cream n honestly it sucked. sticky, shiny and provides almost no coverage. i think only guys with almost flawless skin could use it. But I rather use A Japanese type milky sunscreen instead.

Reminder/ repeat to all: try the free testers at the pharmacies.
First check which spot on your back of hand, wrist, arm, matches your facial colour. Put a small dot on that spot and tap it around just a little. Walk around another 5 minutes to let it colour change by itself. You might put more than one brand next to each other to compare. Look under different kinds of artificial lighting and different angles. Some look weird under fluorescent. @heng : pimple spots easily covered with Body Shop or Revlon corrector stick. If those are too expensive, a tiny drop of Maybelline BB will colour cover but better to pat Face Shop Homme over it to hold it and blend. Unfortunately, you might still have a bump on the skin. 111 This post has been edited by oneeleven: Feb 15 2012, 07:38 PM |

Cause I sweated earlier this morning and when I dry my sweat by just patting my lab coat onto my face, my coat has the colour. |
