For me personally I cannot use the TRUE bb creams coming out of Korea because they make me look like death warmed over. They just give me this gray tint to my skin that does not go away at all. So I rely on Smashbox BB cream and most recently Bobbi Brown has released one here in the states (available now at Nordstrom,everywhere else it will be released in August) and I'm a die hard fan of all things Bobbi so I will be picking up her bb cream as well. I tried the one by Garnier and that was an epic fail....it did not match my skintone whatsoever and it had a heavy fragrance to it. Plus, it made my skin itch. I suggest visiting your local Sephora (if you have one near by) and getting samples of bb creams before making a full size purchase to make sure it sets nicely on your skin and to weed out any irritation.
