This did nothing for me. =( Literally no coverage whatsoever. I don't know if it's just me but I really wouldn't classify this as a true blemish balm. Honestly, it's just like a watered down tinted moisturizer. But good on Maybelline for having a colour for us deeper complexions.
I'm really interested in trying the Smashbox one. Anyone tried that one?

I have trieid the the maybelline version and I like it, mind you I don't like to wear too much make up so the light coverage works for me.

As Boots in the UK have Maybelline as 3for2 I decided to give in to hype and buy it. I bought dark but not yet tried it. They didnt have any other brown folk shades available in the shop. I am assuming it is something I could use under face powder

I really wanted to try this after watching a couple Yt videos about it. I'm interested mostly in it primer/sun protection properties. I figure it won't provide much coverage. Most original high end bb creams don't

Yep, it has very red undertones so I add a drop of foundation that is too light. I agree that alot is needed for coverage tho. Now, I am curious about te L'Oreal one. |
Tested a sample of it and it was a bit too grainy for my taste. But it was the color beads that gave it the grainy texture. I kind of liked the Garnier version but it was a shade or three too light on me.

Hmmm...most of the Korean BB cremes does offer a lot of coverage, just lack of variety of shades.

I know this is about maybelline, but i bought the loreal one yesterday and although i only used it for a day i',m liking it. its kind of gritty out the tube, maybe thats the color beads? its white and then blend it in and it matches your skin, the darkest it came was deep. at first i almost returned it because i tested it on my arm and it was soooooooooooooooo shimmery in the sunlight i died, because there's no way i was putting this stripper sparkle all over my face. Once on my face though its not shimmery at all and it did even out my skin. I have super oily oily skin and this has kept my face matte ALL DAY. but all i did this morning was wash my face, no moisturizer and i used the BB cream, mineral powder then mac blot powder. this ish is cray, i'ma buy more!

the dark is too light for me guess I will need to blend it with some foundation or see if I can order a different shade from abroad.

I bought it a few days ago and honestly I'm not THAT impressed with it. The color is fine for me and so is the coverage but it makes me way too greasy, even when I set it with powder.
I've just been using it on my lazy days when I just want to look evened out with zero effort. I like the SPF though.
Definitely hated the way it smelled.
