Love it? Hate it?

I'm struggling with it. It's kind of orangey/tan on me, even in the lightest shade. And my skin is dry, but gets very oily in the t-zone and starts separating and settling in pores, even with a primer and POREfessional. It feels like it never dries. I have freckles and fairly OK skin so I just need light to medium coverage (don't want to mask the freckles) that feels very light on the skin. Not sure if I should go with a BB cream or another foundation.

Been REALLY interested in the Dior Airtouch foundation (pricey) and Urban Decay's Naked. But maybe a BB cream is what I'm looking for? Any suggestions? Here's me with the Benefit on.

Hmmm from my personal experience with bb creams they seem too sheer for me and I found because of my oily skin they made me look really oily. Having said that I've only tried a few bb creams so maybe there's one out there that works a lot better.
I heard the UD Naked is really good but I haven't tried it myself.
I personally love L'Oreal True Match. They have a huge range of colours that I'm sure you could find a perfect match. It has a light-medium coverage. It glides on smoothly and feels extremely lightweight on the skin. It has a gorgeous satin finish. I wear mine with a primer since I have oily skin and it creates a nice natural semi-dewy look. I always get compliments on my skin when I use this foundation maybe you should check it out.

Thanks for the suggestion! From YouTube reviews it looks like the Dior air touch would really work well for me, but the price tag! Ack. I'd have to return the Benefit stuff for Ulta store credit.

I'm fair with freckles, :) I like Estée Lauder invisible fluid, it has very nice shades.

For bb creams I really like jouer and dr jart.

I purchased the Dior air flash And thought it was awful! Plasticy!! I like shiseido (spelling :-/) bb cream it has nice coverage and broad spectrum 43. Foundation wise I love a small amount of Laura mercier cream foundation. It's beautiful! And natural (my only complaint is that it's not warm enough, so if you are looking to rid of orange, it could work best for you!)

Garnier BB cream for oily skin is amazing.. Its sooo light and gives a good coverage not to mention very affordable
I apply a little bit and set it with illamasqua translucent powder<thats for daily use..
For a full coverage I loved MUFE and illamasqua foundation
