I was really impressed with the Tony Moly Cats Wink Shiny Skin BB Cream so I decided to give the base in the same range a go! I chose the clear lavender option to counteract the yellow tones in my skin.
"Endorsed my T-ara, the Tony Moly Cats Wink Shiny Skin Base is a mild, long-lasting makeup base that gives skin a youthful, bright look by correcting skin tone.
Available in 3 types, each targeting a specific concern:
1 Clear Peach - all skin types
2 Clear Mint - corrects redness caused from blemishes or irritation
3 Clear Lavender - tones down yellow-ness in skin
Free of dyes, benzophenone, petroleum, mineral oil and triethanolamine."
To be honest I was a little disappointed with this base. As the name suggests, the base is a light lavender in colour which does neutralise the yellow to an extent. It also helps BB creams last longer. However, the colour is hard to blend into the skin and leaves the skin sticky rather than smooth. The base has an unpleasant chemical smell to it also. I wouldn't recommend this for darker skin tones.

Stickiness is the last thing I would want in a base! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! It's still okay to use bb cream over because it's only slightly sticky, but i expected it to be nice and smooth :{
