Now that every beauty line has a BB Cream in theirs, you just have to weed through the masses to pick out the best one for you. Up until now, this one has been it for me, but I think this is the next best one. It’s KIEHL’S BB Cream – Actively Correcting and Beautifying with SPF 50 ($37/1.35oz @ kiehls.com). Yup, SPF 50!! Love that as I don’t think you can overload on the sun protection these days.

The formula is incredibly lightweight, buildable, and while they call it a BB, it acts more like a CC. With this one you get the coverage of a BB but also the correction like a CC. Got it?

It seems that tinted moisturizers turn out to be too pinky for my tone from the addition of spf but the one I tried Fair/Medium doesn’t seem to be, phew. And like a lot of Kiehl’s products, this one comes without a lot of things: parabens, fragrance, silicone and mineral oil and is really great for those with sensitive skin as I’ve heard some of these packed-to-the-hilt super creams can be a little irritating. Available in 4 shades.

What are your go-to products for highlighting or un-highlighting areas on the face or helping it last throughout the day/night? Here are some I’ve been using and love.

To Make Eyes Pop - PIXI BEAUTY Extra Eye Bright Liner ($17 @ pixibeauty.com) – this super thin waterproof liner is meant to be worn on the water line or inner rim of the bottom lid. The pale white/pink/lavender color really brightens up any eye look.

To Highlight - ESTEE LAUDER Bronze Goddess Illuminating Powder Gelée in Heatwave ($40 @ esteelauder.com) -  highlight your cheeks, under the brows and even the décolletage with this new one from their Bronze Goddess Collection. Gorg.

My Go-To BB Cream - TARTE BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen ($34/1oz @ sephora.com) – sunscreen (check), longevity (check), slight tint (check), nourishing ingredients (check). Available in 4 shades.

Banish Under-eye Circles - ORLANE Highlight Care Brush ($40 @ orlane.com) – I’d put this one up against this cult favorite any day! If you’re going to rock the Spring look, dark circles and rough under eyes won’t cut it. Get your glow on with this one.

Hold On Eye Shadow - SENNA COSMETICS Totally Transforming Eyeshadow Primer ($24 @ sennacosmetics.com) – there’s nothing worse than your eye shadow sliding off your lids from the heat, so this season, vow to wear an eye shadow primer every time. This one contains antioxidants and peptides and available in three shades.

I’ve kind of shied away from the bb creams that have been all the rage the last year until this one flew past my desk. It’s VICHY ProEVEN All-in-One Flawless Mineral BB Cream and wow, I’m really impressed. The few that I’ve tried seemed too chalky but I’m glad I gave this one a shot. This is a multi-tasker and you all know how much I love those! It’s like a combo of tinted moisturizer/concealer/anti-ager/SPF 20, all in one. And this one claims to transform your skin’s texture just from using it daily, but we’ll see. I just know what it does for me on a daily basis, which is what I like. Available in Llight and Medium for $32.50/1.35oz @ vichyusa.com.
