so when they hit the UK shores they caused quite a buzz and for a while there was no escaping
the reviews and general chit chit about the newest BB cream on the UK market.
The Dr Jart + BB Creams come in four variants Water Fuse, Regenerating, Platinum
and Premium all of which contain SPF's and are targeted at specific skin types,
today I will be expressing my views on the Platinum edition.
The first thing you will notice when you test any Dr Jart + BB Cream is the consistency and texture,
it's thick and creamy, super hydrating yet provides a decent amount of coverage.
If I was to compare the consistency to anything I would liken it to a cross between an expensive night
cream and a high end cream based foundation - it does feel really luxurious and despite being fairly thick it
applies with ease and feels pretty much weightless on the skin.
Once applied I would say it covers in the same way a mid coverage foundation does,
it brightens and evens out the skin tone but you may find you need a little extra coverage in troublesome areas but truthfully it covers rather well without masking the skin with a soft dewy finish.
In my opinion the Dr Jart+ Platinum is the perfect choice for mature skin types as it
covers without caking or settling into lines fine or otherwise and it also offers an SPF of 30.

As this is an Asian formula I did find the one shade suits all a little too light for my skin tone,
it tends to wash me out with the grey tone and gives the impression of being ill.
However that is my skin tone to fault on most light skin tones this will work wonderfully so
and blend out to match your skin tone but if you are tanned/medium skin toned or have dark skin
sadly this is one you will have to skip which is a shame as the formula is great!It does wear really well and showed no signs of faltering after a good 8 hours but
I would say the oiliness set in around the 5 hour mark but with a quick dust of powder it is easily sorted.

Ooh, I like the sound of this! I'm deathly pale too so I think it would work well on me! xo
ReplyDeleteI adore BB creams and i've read good reviews on this Dr Jart one :) I do agree that some BB creams seem to be quite grey and ashy when applied but i find that after around couple of hours, it evens out and it is less noticeable. I like the hydrating properties of the BB creams, but due to me having oily skin, i need to regularly blot the excess oil and reapply face powder hehe. Thanks for the review, it was very helpful xxx
ReplyDeleteWith my darker complexion, Missha and Bobbi Brown bb creams work better for me but this looks great for lighter skinned women.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good, i might have to treat myself to one of these soon because I go so pale in the winter and not many other things suit my skin tone!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the colour on this is pale! I've yet to find a BB Cream that matches my Snow White complexion - will be checking this out! xx

ReplyDeleteyou can try mixing it with a darker foundation to match your skintone! :D I always do that, but make sure the amount being mixed is a pea-sized each :D
ReplyDeleteI love the DR. JART black label bb cream and i love it! i have a review of that one on my blog if your are interested!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I always get up extra early when putting on bb creams so that if any have a grey or white-ish cast, I give it time to 'settle' and adjust to my skin tone before I go out :)
ReplyDeleteOmg this looks amazing, i so have to try it, great post!:)

Sad it was too light for you, I tried a sample and it's a very good BB cream.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a massive fan of BB creams. Any I've tried I think look very yellowy for my skintone, but this looks great
