No7 Beautiful Skin BB Cream for Normal/Oily - Fair

I picked this BB cream up with (another) No7 £5 voucher. This BB cream is a westernised version of the Asian BB creams that are massive news over there. The No7 BB cream (and the other British versions) are more like improved tinted moisturisers.

The No7 BB cream comes is three different types for the 3 major skin types - Normal/Oily, Normal/Dry and Dry/Very Dry. I purchased the Normal/Oily version as I do suffer with very oily skin. You get 40 ml in this tube (compared to the average foundation which is 30ml).

Threre are two shades available (Fair and Medium), which to me seems very limited and I was hesitant to buy even the lightest shade in Fair as I am very pale. When the product is out of the packaging it does look very scary to my porcelain skin but worry not, once blended in it does match my skin tone pretty much perfectly.

Out of tube - blended slightly - blended

It provides light to medium coverage, laying slightly more on the medium side and is buildable. It does not conceal my blemishes and pigmentation but does even out my skin tone well. I personally apply this with a standard foundation brush but it does also work well with fingers and a stippling/buffing brush. 

The only problem I have has with this is staying power. I do set this with powder and it does keep me matte for around 5 hours but in the recent hot climate we have been having here in the UK the cream has proceded to 'melt' off my face where I have been wearing sunglasses *lovely look*.
