Jane Iredale Glow Time Pro BB Cream, $111.
Because BB creams are a combination of skincare and makeup, I pump out a little onto the back of my hand and use the warmth from my fingers to dot a little on the cheeks, forehead and nose, and then buff it into the skin -it’s that easy. It offers buildable coverage and all-day hydration, also there are 14 shades, GT1 to GT14.
What’s in it?
With this makeup, it’s more of a case of what’s not in it than what is in the formulation. Packed with antioxidant-super-hydrating ingredients including honeysuckle flower extract, sunflower seed oil, skin-rejuvenating apple extract, white and green tea extracts and grapefruit extract, all brilliant for brightening dull-looking skin. It also boasts a physical sunscreen made from titanium dioxide, of an SPF 25 sun protection, which is your skin’s defence against our harsh climate in summer and winter. Finally, the tint is thanks to iron oxides. True to the Jane Iredale promise, it’s vegan, cruelty-free, contains no synthetic or fragrance and is also reef-safe.
Why do I like it?
When it comes to makeup as I get older I want less blanket coverage and more of a luminous glow on my skin. This new BB cream offers that and more. Expect a satin finish that looks and feels like makeup-free skin., but there is enough coverage to wipe out the look of fatigue and dullness. The secret to a luminous coverage with BB cream is in the application. and is lightweight on the skin. It hydrates while adding a great-looking glow and the SPF 25, knocks two steps out in one during my morning routine - that’s a win, right?
