Mum says: I like it! It's nice to use and makes my skin look good.
I say: Mum's skin looks great when she's wearing her Age Defying BB Cream. The first time I saw it on her I asked what she had on cause her skin looked lovely, very fresh and healthy. I love that it has an SPF of 30, that makes it perfect for summer.
I used this for a few days and found that it's quite thick, like the Asian BB Creams. Despite being thick, it's not at all oily and I still needed to use a moisturiser underneath it (I have dry skin). If you have oily skin this would be hydrating enough to use without moisturiser underneath.
Coverage wise it's halfway between a tinted moisturiser and a foundation. I didn't find that I needed to use a powder over the top as it is pigmented enough to cover my redness, however I still needed to use concealer to cover up my dark under eye circles. Both Mum and I were able to use the Light shade, even though Mum's skin is a shade or two darker than mine.
Elese Age Defying BB Cream is available from the Eles website for $49.50. There are three shades available; Light, Medium and Deep.
