I have been LOVING the BB cream from Drew Barrymore's line, Flower. The only downside is I don't think it has a lot of the skincare stuff that are supposed to be in most BBs. I've heard the American brand BBs are nothing compared to the Korean ones but even the American ones usually have some skincare stuff in them but I'm like 80% sure the Flower one doesn't. BUT I love it because it's not greasy and has really good coverage without looking cakey. I have acne-prone skin so I have to work on covering any spots and then whatever marks are on the way out and this BB cream covers a good 90% of it all. I just have to use some concealer in a few spots. I also powder mine with a translucent powder after because it can be a little sticky. The only other sort of complaint I have is that while the lightest shade works for me, it is a little bit TOO light if I use too much or don't blend it with a buffing brush. I wish they had a few shades that were in between instead of just 3 in light, medium, or dark. But it is pretty non-greasy and I don't really experience any melting even after a long time, even if I don't power it, it stays pretty matte.

I like clinique's Bb cream has a nice matte finish will all the benefits and lightweight character of a bb but with enough coverage to where I don't need foundation over it.

I've been using Etude House Cotton Fit BB cream for a while now and I must say that Korean products are no jokes. I love how it looks on my face, it has pretty good coverage, evening out your skin tone, and also make your skin looks brighter (not whiter) and make my pores smaller. the downside is, bb cream has somewhat thicker and creamier consistency than most foundation, making it feels a bit sticky. My regime is using an oil free - water based moisturizer and primer before bb cream, and dab some translucent powder after that. from my experience the bb cream would feel less an less greasy over time. but if you prefer a foundation, my pick is water based matte foundation.

I recommend revlon color stay whipped foundation. It's VERY light which Is perfect for summer/spring but has amazing coverage. I also have oily skin & I find that this gives me a wonderful matte finish & I stay shine free for hours :)
