Disadvantages
Its disadvantages are:
A small drop of BB cream isn’t going to deliver all that it promises. Depending upon the formulation (SPF : anti-aging : coverage), some claims may be fulfilled far more than others.
Anything that a BB cream does, a good quality lightweight foundation can; so it’s not exactly path breaking.
Color palette is not wide enough to match all skin tones.
No acne-fighting properties, so for those who are prone to breakouts, this one is a risky bet.
If you’re a beauty lover, chances are your BB cream will be redundant as you will have other products that do the same jobs in a more targeted and concentrated manner.
Its disadvantages are:
Limited shades
Does not cover up flakiness and dry skin
