Hello ladies! I had recently been looking for a BB cream which gives me similar results as the MAC Face and Body foundation (Read review HERE) since I absolutely LOVE the dewy and natural look that baby gives :D I have been using the foundation like crazy, almost everyday and it is almost half used up L Which brings me to the horror realisation that I would need to repurchase another one at the “renewed” MAC prices -_- I hate MAC for its quarterly price hike! The foundation already costs a whooping Rs.2400/- for 50 ml and god knows how much price hike would it have now. So I decided that I need to save my favourite foundation for special occasions and buy a cheaper alternative for the daily uses L After going through many options, I settled on this J Read on to find how it fared:

Product: Inveda 8-in-1 BB cream.
Shades available: Fair Color (For Fair to medium skin tones), Matte Color (for wheatish skin tones). I bought the shade Fair since it looked more yellow.
Price: Rs. 150 for 15 ml
Ingredients: Please refer to pic

Packaging: It is a pretty basic squeeze-tube which smaller than your palm. In hues of orange, brown and gold, the packaging looks quite ‘earthy’.

My take: The shade “Fair Color” is warm and bright beige. Surprisingly though when swatched alongside MAC face and Body foundation in shade C3, which is true yellow beige, this one appears to be a creamy beige with slight salmon tints. I was super scared looking at the color thinking it would wash me out. But as soon as I blended it, I found it matched skin beautifully without leaving it ashy. So I think, this shade would suit anyone between MAC NC 30-40 or Fair to medium skin tones.

Texture and pigmentation: As you all know, I was looking for an “easy to use” BB cream which does not need much effort while application and yet offers a natural coverage. This BB cream wins on the texture part. It does look thick, but actually has a very light soufflé kind of consistency. It blends in perfectly on face without much blending and does not have a “on your face” kind of feeling :D It truly gives a soft matte look (with a bit of glow)

Coming to pigmentation and coverage, on application you would instantly feel a moisturized glowy look and the lightest blemishes covered ever so slightly and you can also layer the product up. But the pigmentation is not as much as the MAC Face and Body foundation. For faces with deeper dark circles, scar marks and spots, this would do nothing. You would have to use correctors and concealers as well. For me, my skin is pretty much problem free and I don’t mind going out without concealers, so Inveda BB cream fits my bill.

One thing which bothered me though was the fact that you can actually see your BB cream WASH away like a white liquid with the slightest splash of water, which confirms that this will not endure heavy summers with a lot of sweating. For Bangalore weather though, it is quite ok J

In the picture below, the “before” face is my “just out of shower” face and the after, as obvious, has the Inveda BB cream in fair. There is no other product (not even powder) so that it helps you gals see the slight glowy effect on cheeks. I love how it moisturizes by skin and does not make it patchy.

Other things which make me fond of this BB cream are:
1.     Contains SPF20
2.     Paraben Free
3.     Not tested on animals
4.     100% veg
In this picture, the only base makeup used is Inveda BB cream. There is no powder, no blush, no concealers, no contour and no highlight. Just Miss Claire lip cream (Read Review HERE) and some eyeshadow and liner J The glowy yet matte effect stayed on me for 5 hours beyond which I washed it off. I believe, this texture would suit all skin types and would last longer if powdered too.
