Hi girls...
I tried a lot of foundation in my life. The recent one was the Urban decay naked foundation in #4, the Nars sheer glow in punjab and the revlon colorstay for combination/oily skin in sand beige. BUT...I've noticed that my skin is not the same...in the bad side. I remember that when I wore a bb cream like the Dior, the MAC or the Stila my skin was pretty good. No oil problem...NOTHING! I don't have a lot of imperfection...you can see it in my profile photos. I hesitate between the Tarte bb cream or the bobbi brown. Please don't say to me to try the corean bb cream...I tried them and they are to greyish for my yellow skin undertone.
Thank you girlss ans sorry for my english I'm a proud french canadien girl! Hihi :)

I have the Bobbi Brown bb cream and it does a great job at addressing oily skin. I would not advise it for dry skin though for that reason. I've tried the Tarte bb and I found it to not have the full coverage like Bobbi Brown. My skin actually starting breaking thru with an oil slick within 4 hours. Bobbi Brown last much longer and it didn't oxidize on me either. Bobbi Brown has more of a yellow undertone while I found Tarte to be more neutral.

Thanks for that shelley I currently use tarte and I do like it but just got a sample of the bobbi brown n have been waiting to try it for fear that it might break me out - but from the sound of your post it seems like it might be better than tarte so I'm excited to test it out this week! to speak on behalf of the tarte bb I really like it personally I think the coverage is medium which is great for a bb and its good for my combo/oily skin and keeps me matte for the most part - I love that it minimizes the look of my pores, doesn't break me out, and really does last the full 12+ hours when combined with the tarte setting powder - so I love it personally but I will see how the bobbi brown works out too

Thank you Diana I appreciate! I'm sad because with the color IQ of Sephora I don't have a perfect match with the bobbi brown bb. :( but I have a perfect match with the Tarte one. I'm normally a nc20.

I do use Tart and love it but the one that I really love is IT cosmetics cc cream its full coverage has as many anti aging ingredients as a serum and spf 50

Tarte is low coverage but if you don't have a lot to hide then that's ok. I just like the way it moisturizes, makes me glow and doesn't break me out. It does have a good shade match and that is also a reason I use it. I'm usually a bit too white for most bb creams. Bb creams have the worse colos imo. If you go with bb bb let us know I'm curious!

Agree with traci! that cc cream provides excellent coverage, I think it's pretty mattifying though... and its good for your skin! :) looove it. downside: I believe there's only 4 shades to choose from :/

Try illamasqua skin base foundation as it is inspired by Asian bb cream. It gives pretty good coverage without making you feel heavy.

I adore the Tarte BB Treatment. it's my holy grail every day face product. you can build the coverage to a nice medium coverage or keep it shear to light by just applying a tiny bit. it lasts all day when set with a powder and feels totally weightless. I can't live without it. Remember, this is the tinted BB treatment. not the BB cream (which I hear is awful). it's in a long skinny tube and is available in 5 (I think) shades.
