Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow Customer Reviews

I received this awhile ago in my Birchbox and since NONE of the other BB creams ever work for me, I waited months to even try it.

I have light olive skin with yellow undertones, and usually have to custom mix my own foundation - usually everything is too pink for me, even when I do it this way. Also, I have acne scars, rosacea, severe dry and flaky patches, oiliness...just a little of everything!! I would usually NEVER get closeup with my boyfriend without my custom foundation blend, concealer and powder, topped off with highlighter, bronzer and eyeliner......(for my minimalist look).

So summer happened and I needed to change up and simplify my routine. I finally tried this and I applied it thickly the same way I would my foundation. Didn't look so good. Later I tried a different approach, pressing small dots of product into damp skin only where I really need it and at first didn't think that it was doing anything, but after a few days I realized that I wasn't "noticing" anything because the product worked so well and subtly that the problem areas had disappeared before my eyes. I was so used to seeing this like pinky beige paint cancelling out my regular face, that when I still saw my freckles and a natural, dewy look at first I thought the product didn't do anything.

I love the results so much that I have cut the number of other makeup products I use in half and am ready to chuck the 2 bottles of foundation I had just purchased.

So I'm trying out alternatives to regular foundation. I have combination skin, I can get oily in my T-zones and my cheeks like to be dry.

First, I tried this by itself, and noticed it's a little shimmertastic for me.

I put a CC cream on top that came in a flat color... it was PERFECT! I thought it could get too thick, but no, my face feels dewy and there are no dry patches. The combo is still less thick than a primer and foundation.

I'll keep testing, but I'm pretty happy with this product.

I am always skeptical of BB creams. I like them, but they just either provide too much coverage or not enough. However, I loved this product. It is thicker than other BB creams I have tried and blends out nicely. It really gives you the "your skin, but better" appearance. The smell is a little odd, but you can't smell it after it's dried.

I love this BB cream. i felt like J.LO when I had it on. It was so beautiful it did have a dewey effect which I do not like usually but I loved this!

I use this everyday, first received it as a sample and liked it so much I bought it. It works well alone or under makeup.

Makes my face look so smooth and doesn't cake on! Love this because it doesn't clog my pores as much as other Bb creams do.

I hate this product. I have been sent samples of it at least 5 times that I remember, which probably means that it is closer to 10 times. It looks extremely orange on me, and I am not, in fact, orange. I have written multiple scathing reviews of this terrible product, but keep getting samples of it in my boxes. True fact: I tend to chose the curated boxes exactly because of awful products like this that constantly end up in my samples. I am assuming that Marcelle is paying BB a lot of money to constantly push this product. I will be throwing out this sample, like I've thrown out so many before.

Didn’t like. It had sparkles in it and didn’t make me look better

The fair was so dark! I threw my sample away. It seemed to blend well and had good coverage despite the color

It’s an okay product if you don’t want to much coverage. Glad I received it because I just like to cover my redness on my checks and chin
