Tony moly cats wink shiny skin base: Clear lavender ♡

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.

Tony moly cats wink shiny skin bb cream ♡

Hello kittens! I just wanted to share what I thought about this Tony Moly Cats Wink BB Cream because I've heard many good things about it - and let's face it, who wouldn't love the cute kitty packaging? >w<

"Triple function BB cream with advanced covering effect and reasonable price.

Reasonable price and Triple function (Wrinkles, UV Rays, Whitening).

Advanced covering effect for blemish with soft texture.

5 Free – Mineral oil · Paraben · Ethanol · Benzophenone · Tar pigment"

Although this BB cream is only offered in one shade, I believe it will suit many different fair-medium skin tones. It comes in a squeezy tube that is easy to carry around and the product doesn't spill everywhere when you open it. The coverage is a little lighter than some other Asian BB creams I've tried - it's harder to cover up blemishes, but it is also easier to blend into your skin. The texture is soft and silky and doesn't feel like you're putting on a mask. I feel like it doesn't have a whitening effect, but it does look really natural and doesn't leave a grey cast. Some things I didn't like is that it doesn't cover up fine lines and pores very well, and I would also have preferred a higher sun protection than SPF25. Despite these little hiccups, I would probably buy this again!
