I've tried a lot of BB creams in the past but most of them only provides little or zero coverage.  So I used to think that BB creams are for only for good-skin days.  If you need a bit more coverage, you can pile layers and the best way to do it is by dabbing the product onto the skin using fingers.  I found this to be effective and efficient, rather than stippling the product or using a sponge. I was okay with the idea of using BB creams as tinted moisturizer until I got hold of a BB cream that provides coverage like my other liquid foundations: Palgantong Vita White BB Super Cover SPF30 PA++ comes in a cute, red 30g tube I'm not sure how many shades are available, but I have #10 Light Beige and  #20 Natural Beige Light Beige, Natural Beige The shades can be a bit confusing.  If you check on the stickers at the back of the tube (pic above), you'll see that Natural Beige is more yellow.  But looking at the swatch...

After a recent neutral look, I'm slowly going back to colors again! But I still wanted it to be something simple and yet with a bit of color.  I know that shades of Peach don't suit me as much as Pink does, but I really wanted to make it work on my skin tone.  So here's my look, I hope you like it!

as a fan of liquid foundations, using a setting powder on top of the foundation is an essential step. it helps keep your make up stay put and it helps in keeping those oilies at bay. i've used a lot of brands already: MAC, Krayolan, etc...but let me share with you another discovery that i am currently addicted with. Palgantong Make-Up Theatrical Powder "Theatrical powder from Korea is make up of Ceramin ingredient from UK. The size of particles is just half as the other particles. It reflects more light from your skin to even the tone with natural appearance. Thin and comfortable, brighten your skin just like Movie Star. So, it is also called “Star Powder” in Japan and Korea. Over these 10 years, this powder is commonly used in Korean Movies, TV programme and drama. Over 5,000,000 powder were sold in Japan, as No.1 loose powder in Japan. " (description taken from Sasa.com) comes with a puff and neatly sealed (reminds me of mineral makeup foundation in pots)...
