As I mentioned in my first post, I don't like to use foundations, concealers, powders, etc. I don't like the way it makes my skin feel, and I want to be able to touch my face without worrying that product might rub off on my hand (or my children). My skin tone is fairly even and I don't tend to get zits often, another reason I don't really feel like that type of coverage is necessary for me. I do however have fair skin, so my cheeks are often rosy. After having two kids and not getting much sleep, I am beginning to notice I might need a little coverage (especially under my eyes). I thought I would give these two products a go.
The L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream is good coverage wise, but has a bit of that gritty foundation feeling. Coverage is light enough that I don't feel like I am wearing a mask, but really does even out my tone a bit. It does not have any SPF, so I still applied my normal moisturizer with SPF underneath.
The Aveeno Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturizer is SPF 30 so I don't need to apply anything underneath. Coverage is a little more sheer than the BB cream but blends to my skin tone better. It also has a slight shimmer to it, that brightens up the skin. Normally I wouldn't like this quality, but it's actually really nice and very subtle. It feels smooth going on, and wears well all day. I really like this product, and although the bottle is small, you don't need to apply much. I found myself using less of this than the BB Cream.
For my own preferences/needs, I definitely like the tinted moisturizer better than the BB Cream. I would recommend it to anyone looking for similar qualities in a face product.
