As always I have used my mole as a point of reference so you can see how well the product covers.

I have finally found my everyday base product that not only offers me a little coverage but actually matches my skin tone. Dr Renaud BB Cream is my go to base when I'm not going anywhere special but still want my skin to look fresh without the need of a heavy foundation or concealer for that matter.

Basically Dr Renaud BB Cream has the light liquid texture of a foundation but offers the coverage level of a BB Cream, by that I mean it won't mask the skin but it will even out the skin tone and cover any light blemishes. As Dr Renaud BB Cream is a 7-in-1 product it also adds a little hydration to the skin as well as giving the appearance of smoother and radiant skin. The product does claim to be matte but I would say it gives a natural dewy finish with a slight glow which is great for disguising dull and tired skin without the need of a highlighting product.

As with most I have found it a struggle to find a BB Cream that suits my skin tone, most are too grey and pale or frankly orange but Dr Renaud BB Cream in the shade natural is a great match for my light medium skin tone and does not oxidise throughout the day to an unsettling orange hue. While we are on the topic of wear this is a base that of you have oily skin you will need to set it with a powder product as it is not that great for keeping excess sebum at bay. Once set I tend to get a good 7-8 hours of wear but if I use a primer and a powder it is closer to the 10 hour mark.

Oh and I forgot to mention this is the best smelling BB Cream ever, it literally smells like fresh apricot yogurt...yum!
