It totally has 14 shades to choose. You should be found one the best for you. I still don't see this foundation in Canada Shu Uemura makeup counter, I believe this must be only available in Asia market again.

This foundation come with a light bulb shape sponge, it is double ended,  big side will be for the check and forehead area, small  size will be for under eyes area or besides the nose, this sponge is very dense,  same theory with the Beauty  Blender one, it can achieve the natural glow with high coverage.  But this sponge, you can use it when is dry
金次個粉底仲跟埋一個葫蘆形既 sponge, 兩頭都可以用,大邊就用於大既範圍,如面頰,額頭; 而細個邊就可用於眼底,鼻翼旁; 其實個 theory 就好似 Beauty Blender既原理,係可以令到個粉更加貼,遮瑕度更高!不過呢個 sponge 就可以乾用,唔須一定要濕用。










































According to their website,  this is a natural glow with high coverage, up to 12 hrs long lasting moisture. This product has been formula contains a high concentration of natural-origin macadamia oil. More highly reflective than regular oils,  it also stays on skin for longer, contributing to a lasting glow, light reflection comparison. With the revolutionary sponge techniques,  "tapping " a true secret of professionals to maximize a glowing finish with a perfect fit 
跟據官方網站既資料,佢有高度遮瑕,長達12 小時既保濕功效,另外,佢仲有多源光感科技,此配方含高濃度天然夏威夷果油,光折射效果更佳,更貼面,帶來更長效的光澤效果,令你係任何光線下都有完美既肌膚,再配上呢個特別設計既 sponge,並配合輕印式上妝技巧, 面頰更會自然剔透光感妝容。


Sounds like this is a very attractive foundation....told my friend to get it HK for me. I have been trying around 1 week, usually  one pump is good enough for the whole face.  Coverage is not bad too,  very easy to apply with the sponge; I also try to apply with the Sigma  F82 brush,  be honest,  I like this more,  coverage is more flawless and use less product. For the moisture,  may be I m living in Vancouver, moisture is only average,  I need to add the moisture make up base to achieve the result. 
聽到好似有好多優點咁,又即管買黎試下先。試左成個禮拜,一泵已經夠全面嘞,遮瑕度真係唔錯,易推,我都試過用 Sigma 既 F82 上呢個粉,老實講,我就比較鍾意用呢種掃黎上,因為我覺得個效果更加透薄,用既粉仲唔須要咁多; 致於保濕度,可能我住係加拿大既關係,保濕度只係一般,要多加一層滋潤既 make up base 先得。

Drugstore makeup : BB Cream

What is BB cream ?
BB cream is getting more popular in the Asian and north America's make up market  lately. After the tinted moisturizer, it is either know as Beauty Balm Cream or Blemish Balm Cream.
BB Cream在最近掀起一陣熱潮,令到亞洲及北美各大化妝品牌亦陸續推出自家品牌的 BB Cream. BB Cream (又名 BB 霜) 其實為 Blemish Balm Cream 或 Beauty Balm Cream的縮寫

BB cream is a combination of moisturizer, primer , foundation and sometimes with SPF protection, it also help to smooth out the skin tone, cover some redness, help the dullness on the skin. So, this is another reason for this product getting more popular because it is so convenient and it is good for every lady no matter do they apply make up or not
近年的 BB Cream 經過不斷的改良後,已經加入了不同的保養成分,可以用作妝前隔離霜,粉底,遮瑕膏,又能自然修飾、美化肌膚。所以輕易成為化妝界的新寵!就算你沒有化妝的習慣,亦因為它有修復、保濕、保養、潤色、隔離這些功能,相信你亦會樂意去試它一試。

Since different makeup brand name have their own BB Cream, different ingredients, different brand have different price range.
不同的品牌,不同的保養成份,亦有不同價錢的選擇

In my opinion, North American BB creams are slightly different than the Asian one due to their different formula, Asian one can provide more coverage than the north American's one which have more light to sheer coverage, and the Asia's one can create a very good nude foundation
個人認為,大部份亞洲品牌的 BB Cream比北美洲遮瑕度高,如選用亞洲品牌的 BB Cream,已可以代替粉底並做出裸妝的效果。

Canadian BB Cream:

1)Wet n wild Fergie BB cream 8 in 1, shade light to medium, 5 shades available
Coverage is very light and sheer, SPF 15
遮瑕度非常薄,滋潤度一般,
























2) Rimmel 9 in 1 skin perfecting super make up, shade medium , 3 shades available
9 in 1 results : primes,moisturizers conceals, covers, smoothes, mattifies, brightens and help protect, last all day (according to the manufacturer)
Coverage is light to medium, semi matte finish
中度遮瑕,有少量雅致的效果






















3) Physician Formula Super BB cream, SPF 15, shade is light to medium, 2 shades available
Coverage is light to medium, not sure is the product that I bought....the cream that in the tube is not smooth not creamy at all,  no matter how long do I  shake them before use....it still feels the cream has something in it, personally I feel this product is not as good as the other products in the same brand
中度遮瑕,但不知是否我買的這個有問題,產品按出來,感覺很怪, cream 完全不滑溜,好像有粒狀在內。這個產品是同品牌之中較差的一個。
This brand are also have BB Cream concealer and BB Cream compact
此品牌更有同一系列的遮瑕膏及粉餅。
