There was a time when the only BB cream available in the market was from Maybelline. But time flies and now Indian market is flooded with so many BB creams (even CC creams!). The latest addition to the BB cream family is Fair & Lovely BB cream which I will review today. It is definitely much cheaper than the Maybelline BB cream and other variants but does it perform better? Lets find out!

Texture & Shade
Fair & Lovely Foundation + BB cream has a thick texture and frankly it takes time to blend. It has a thick cream like texture which wouldn’t suit oily skin and would cause sweating and sometimes even oxidization. It comes in only one shade which is suitable for fair-medium skintone so dusky beauties may not find the shade suitable for them and will leave a white cast on them. The shade is very near to beige but doesn’t contain any definite undertones to it. The smell of the BB cream is exactly the same as their fairness creams.

Coverage & Staying Power
This affordable BB Cream gives a very sheer coverage and if you apply too many layers then it may look patchy as it is difficult to blend it properly. The Fair & Lovely BB Cream hides light blemishes but doesn’t hide acne scars. I am not at all a fan of their fairness creams available in the market so wasn’t expecting much from the new BB cream but gave it a chance just to test it out. A very bad news to all acne prone girls! Somehow it clogs pores and ended up breaking me out so badly that I had to stop using this. Also, it feels very heavy on my already oily skin and stays there for about 3-4 hours which is not bad though. However, this BB cream is not waterproof.
