CANMAKE Perfect Serum BB Cream Review



Hey ya'll! Today's review will be on the Canmake Perfect Serum BB Cream. 
I got this product as a gift from my friend since I don't often purchase Japanese makeup due to the often sheerness of the product. Hence I am very excited to be reviewing this today!


Selling in Watsons at $19.90, 30ml
Shade 02


Easy to use squeezy tube


The consistency is some what like a thick paste, not liquidy at all.



And it completely covered all the little dots I drew on my hand. 




-Contains 21 types of beautifying ingredients.
-Natural yet supeb coverage
-SPF 50 & PA+++
-acts as a foundation with sheer coverage
-Beauty Lotion, Beauty Serum, Face-pack, Makeup- Base, Sunscreen, Concealer, Foundation, Time Saving
-Paraben free, Alcohol free, Mineral Oil Free, Tar- based pigment free,Fragrance free


That's a darn lot of claims if you asked me. Especially aspect which involves the beautifying ingredient which acts like skin are I suppose. 
Its has superb coverage but acts as a foundation with sheer coverage. How confusing.
But never the less, I'm excited to see what this bb cream can do.



Bare Face


1.5 layer of bb cream (prior setting)


Here are some close up shots.
As you can see, the bb cream does hold up to its claims of having a pretty high coverage. In fact, I would say it's coverage is actually comparable to the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. 
It has a really nice dewy finish but I could most definitely feel the bb cream sitting on my face.

Some of the darker scar marks are still peeking through, but skin tone is evened out.


Full Face Makeup
Once powdered down the foundation looks more of an semi-matte glow from within. I did not notice any creasing or clinging to dry patches upon initial application so thumbs up for a great start.





This is a check in 4 hours later after a good load of sweating and walking. The weather is crazy humid and I am constantly sweating.
As you can see, the bb cream looks almost as good as new. The coverage is still there and I have yet to become an oil slick. 



A close up to show you show the bb cream has yet to separate around my nose. Thumbs up for that. The only issue I notice is that the bb cream have started to cling onto the dry patches I have on my face.
It is only noticeable up close.





Did a little check in to show you how crazy the weather was.





*Just to put it out there, this 12 hours was after a hot humid walk along the beach, went to the amusement park for some crazy rides and non stop sweating*

So here I am 12 hours later, I look so tired don't I. But lets do the final check with the bb cream.


As you can see, the coverage definitely worn down by the end of the day allowing my scars and skin discoloration to peek through.
(However that is most probably due to me wiping the sweat off my face the entire day.)



The bb cream is clinging onto my dry patches more than before, making them a lot more visible.
But I love how it sat really nicely around the area beside my nose and did not separate at all.



Here is a comparison of how it looks through the day.




I have used this bb cream for around 10 times now and am ready to give it my review. 
Overall this is a great bb cream for everyday use, especially those who are looking for something natural yet provides a great coverage. 
I love the semi-matte finish it gives and how it does not separate at all on my face. As this is not waterproof makeup there is no doubt that it will fade through the day if you sweat a lot and put it through rain and sun.
 However for a normal everyday use, it will be perfect.
 As for the beautifying ingredients part, I am not so sure if it helped to moisturize my face or make it more beautiful. It is not drying, but I would not say it is hydrating either. Regardless, it's still nice to know there are beautifying ingredients in there I guess. 
Overall very satisfied with this product as I was initially expecting something sheer and sticky from a Japanese brand.




Pros
-High coverage
-Easy to blend
-Does not separate on the face
-Semi-matte finish
-Long lasting
-Has SPF & PA
-Squeezy tube
-Not drying

Cons
-Clings onto dry patches over time
-Does not control oil
-limited shade selection






Normal Skin: -Recommended-
*Looking for something with high coverage yet giving a natural everyday look? This is it right here.

Combination Skin: -Recommended-
*This is not a matte hydration so I do recommend setting down your face. However, this foundation will not break apart on your face despite the oil production. However it has the tendency to cling onto dry patches by mid day so moisture up before application.

Oily Skin -Recommended-
*This bb cream is not a matte one, however sits surprising well on oily skin, with setting of course. It does not separate or move around. However, you might want to steer clear of this foundation if you dislike the feeling on a film sitting on your face.

Dry Skin: -Recommended-
*This foundation is a more hydrating, less matte version of the Estee Lauder Double wear foundation. Hence if you want the coverage without the matte finish, this is one to go for. However take note to really hydrate our skin before use as it a might cling onto your dry patches by mid- day.

Very Dry Skin: -Recommended-
*You most likely will enjoy this foundation as long as you do not set it with any powder and also hydrate your face well prior using it. 

Pigmented Skin: -Recommended-
*This most definitely has a full coverage which is very build able, yet looking flawless and natural.




Will I Repurchase
Yes.
Great for everyday use.
