We conducted thorough tests on 13 of the top BB creams—these 8 made the cut.

      At times, using a full-coverage foundation can resemble putting on a latex mask. Conversely, going completely without makeup might be intimidating. On those days when both extremes seem unfeasible, it’s advisable to opt for a base product that offers flexible coverage while remaining lightweight and possibly skincare-friendly. That’s where BB creams come into play.

      BB creams are an excellent choice for achieving skin-blurring, even-toned coverage that feels and looks like your natural skin. However, locating the ideal BB cream can quickly turn into a Goldilocks and the Three Bears scenario. You seek a formula that provides enough coverage (but not excessive), feels hydrating (yet not greasy), and lasts all day (without mattifying). Essentially, we want BB creams to perform optimally. We have tested the best BB creams and selected the top eight. Continue reading to discover all eight and find out why we love them. Additionally, you’ll find details about our thorough testing process and insights from a celebrity makeup artist about everything you need to know regarding BB cream.

      **Best Overall BB Cream: Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15**

      *Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 15*

      **Our Review:** "In my opinion, the formula is nearly perfect for a tinted moisturizer. There’s no odd scent or heavy, oily texture. It blends seamlessly into my skin without causing dryness or breakouts. I use it daily (and honestly do), and my skin has improved because of it. I’ve used this product for two to three years now, and it’s my holy grail. It glides on effortlessly and blends beautifully. The formula is just right for my skin, so it never feels dry, flaky, oily, or heavy like many other BB creams I’ve tried. It also serves as an excellent base for makeup, allowing my cream blush, concealer, and bronzer to layer well on top.” — Anna LaPlaca, Senior Fashion Editor

      **Pros:** Applies easily and makes a great makeup base

      **Cons:** The two darkest shades lack SPF

      **Key Ingredients:** SPF 15

      **Finish:** Dewy

      **Shades:** 12

      **Best Budget BB Cream: Covergirl Clean Matte BB Cream**

      *CoverGirl Clean Matte BB Cream*

      **Our Review:** "During New York Fashion Week, I knew I required lightweight, long-lasting coverage for exploring the city and being photographed. Lightweight and long-lasting usually don't go together, so I was skeptical. However, Covergirl pleasantly surprised me. It applied perfectly to my skin, giving a radiant, skin-like finish. I had better skin days at the start of Fashion Week compared to the end, so my initial impressions were fantastic. By the week's end, I was eager to remove it as my skin began to break out (too many stress-induced pizza slices!), but it still looked great without any texture or acne. Given its affordability, I suggest everyone try it once. At worst, you'll only spend the price of a latte in New York. At best, you'll find an economical formula that you can wear without worrying about the cost per use.” — Ana Escalante, Associate Features Editor

      **Pros:** Affordable price

      **Cons:** Does not provide a dewy appearance

      **Key Ingredients:** N/A

      **Finish:** Matte

      **Shades:** 1

      **Best BB Cream for Dry Skin: Saie Slip Tint Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35**

      *Saie Slip Tint Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35*

      **Our Review:** "It performed exactly as I hoped. It applied smoothly, provided a lovely glow, and evened out most of my discoloration. I typically use concealer under my eyes with any BB cream, but with this one, I’d be fine applying it alone for just a hint of coverage. Other BB creams tend to either do nothing or resemble foundation too closely. This product strikes a perfect balance. As someone with dry skin, I’ve dealt with other creams clinging to dry patches and exacerbating dryness despite thorough moisturizing.
