BB Creams for Darker Skin / Yellow Skin - Reviews and Swatches

Note:
This Post has been and will be constantly undated with new 'finds' ^_^
(Update 4 June 2011: Added Hada Labo BB Moist Cream SPF32 PA+++ and Hada Labo BB Moist Emulsion SPF50 PA+++)
(Update 4 September 2011: Added  Coffret D'or Fast Beauty Foundation UV BB Cream SPF33 PA++)


Apologies for these HUGE-ass pictures,
but I really wanted to share my finds after COUNTLESS (well...actually...more than 30 FAILS
- I gave up swatching after THIS Blog Post:

"  BB Cream/Blemish Balm Swatches - All 16 of Them  "

It's depressing, you know... :(

And thanks to Yasumi, I finally found several BB creams which match my NC25-30 skin with YELLOW undertones!
{Note:
My face is closer to NC25; neck NC30.
And with my super short hair, base matching is HELL! =_=}
{Note 2: You can mix your BB cream with a yellow-toned liquid foundation (I just think this defeats the whole purpose of a BB cream) or set with a yellow-toned powder (I just don't like to ;))}

Oh joy! ^_^
No more disappointing sighs looking myself at the mirror...
Lamenting away how GRAY or PINK my face is...

By the way, the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream #23 does absolutely NOTHING for me.
The colour depth is OK, but I look sallow... ~_~

And I have this pet peeve that many people rave and rave about Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream...
Try other brands - you'll be surprised at how superior some OTHER brands are...

{Note 3: If your skin's undertone is PINK, these BB creams may turn you ORANGE, so...you've been warned ;))

SHORT REVIEWS :

 

	SHADE/ COLOUR MATCH (All are pre-dominantly yellow-undertoned ❤)	TEXTURE	COVERAGE	FINISH	OIL-CONTROL (With Setting Powder)	SCENT	SPF
Ishizawa Nanoce BB Moist Cream	#2 Healthy Ochre Very yellow. I have to be a little careful about looking sallow.	A lightweight cream Not too thick, not too runny.	Almost Medium Easily buildable	Satin/Semi-matte	A little drying for me, so my skin compensates by secreting more oil that usual MAY look blotchy if I don't moisturise well before hand!	Herbal ❤	Not stated Just says "UV protection"
SANA Quzulan Gelo Liquid BB Essence	#1 Also predominantly yellow, but with slight beigey hue. Oh, and it oxidises.	Similar to lighter liquid foundations And I can tell from the slip that it has a fair bit of silicones :(	Almost Medium Easily buildable	Satin	❤ Just right I just get glow-ier as the day goes by ^_^	Barely noticeable	SPF29 PA++
Cyber Colors Duo White Essence BB Cream	Only 1 Shade Available Predominantly yellow, with a hint of peach. Thus it has a slight brightening effect ❤	Lightweight lotion ❤	Almost Medium Easily buildable	Glowy ❤	❤ Just right I just get glow-ier as the day goes by ^_^	A light floral scent	SPF25 PA++
Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB	#2 Natural Yellow, but with slight beigey hue. A little too light for me, but I mix it with moisturiser, so it still works :D	SUPER lightweight gello!	Light because I usually do a moisturiser mix and it's sheered out.	Dewy due to the moisturiser mix	I don't use this neat, but oil-control isn't too great. Probably due to the moisturiser I mix it with.	ACK! STRONGLY-SCENTED! Artificial fruit and it takes a lonnnnng time to wear off T_T	SPF20 PA++
Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB Cream	#2 Natural Almost perfect.	Very fluid	VERY light-weight.	Dewy due to the moisturiser mix	I don't use this neat, and  oil-control isn't too great. Probably due to the moisturiser I mix it with.	Barely noticeable	SPF26 PA++
Hada Labo BB Moist Emulsion	A mixture of #1 Natural Beige & #2 Natural  Ochre to match my NC25 face and  NC30 neck (ratio differs)	Featherlight ❤ Think SUPER runny, watery, Asian shake-up sunscreens!	Sheer to light-medium Easily buildable ❤ Considering its feather-light texture, the coverage is deceptively good.	Glowy ❤	❤ Just right I just get glow-ier as the day goes by ^_^	Barely noticeable	SPF50 PA+++
Hada Labo BB Moist Cream	A mixture of #1 Natural Beige & #2 Natural  Ochre to match my NC25 face #2 Natural  Ochre is a perfect Match for my NC30 neck.	A VERY light gel consistency. Similar to Make Up For Ever Face & Body ❤	Light to light-medium Easily buildable ❤ Considering its feather-light texture, the coverage is deceptively good.	Glowy ❤	❤ Just right I just get glow-ier as the day goes by ^_^	Barely noticeable	SPF32 PA+++
Coffret D'or Fast Beauty Foundation UV BB Cream	A mixture of #02 Natural Tone & #03 Healthy Tone to match my NC25 face #03 Healthy Tone is a tad dark for my NC30 neck. Note: It oxidises a little. Thus, I have to compensate by mixing it a tad lighter.	Similar to a light liquid foundations. And I can tell from the slip that it has a fair bit of silicones :( However, I really LOVE the cooling sensation during application ❤	Light to light-medium Easily buildable ❤	Satin-matte upon application. Glowly after settling in.	❤ Just right I just get glow-ier as the day goes by ^_^	None	SPF33 PA++
