Skincare meets make-up: What product can be used as a primer, tinted moisturiser, contains spf15, is highly moisturising, conceals blemishes, has anti-aging properties and provides full coverage? …
Sleek MakeUP’s Be Beautiful Blemish Balm.
Created to protect, moisturise, conceal and prime the skin the Sleek MakeUP Be Beautiful Blemish Balm is undoubteldy the multi-tasking goddess of the product range that aims to brighten your complexion and leave your skin looking, smooth and radiant.
Unlike it’s predecessors on the UK High Street Sleek MakeUP’s high coverage, Be Beautiful Blemish Balm range includes shades specifically for fair and darker skin tones.
What’s inside the BB Cream: Enriched with red algae extract which provides anti ageing properties and protein peptides that work to repair the skin, this tube of wonder contains Vitamin C that
brightens the complexion leaving your skin with a youthful and luminous finish whilst the Vitamin E protects the skin from early stages of UV light damage and reduces the the formation of free radicals that could lead to premature ageing. The jojoba oil provides a moisturising formula that creates a smooth and flawless base, concealing imperfections whilst preventing discolouration and dehydration lines.
Containing SPF15, this multi-functional BB cream not only works hard to nourish and conceal imperfections it also protects the skin from harmful rays.
How to use: Use as a primer or tinted moisturiser to provide an even skin tone and dewy base or build the Be Beautiful Blemish Balm to use as a high coverage foundation.
Tips and tricks: Apply the BB cream and wait for cream to settle before applying a second layer: Apply one layer of BB cream for medium coverage and two layers for high coverage.
The BB Cream can be used as a concealer. After applying the BB cream, spot apply to areas that require more coverage (redness, dark spots, acne marks etc) and lightly pat into your skin to blend.
Available in 4 shades: Fair, Light, Medium and Dark.
Be Beautiful Blemish Balm RRP: £8.99, 50ml

Ingredients:
It comes in a sleek black broad tube packaging with a flip cap..I have the shade Medium which is unfortunately too dark for me..I look toasted in the sun with this shade 😀
But I am amazed with the coverage..it is indeed a high coverage product..and as mentioned can be doubled up as a concealer too using second layer..it stays on for a good 6-7 hours and skin does not feel oily or shiny..you just need to touch up the T zone with powder if you have oily skin..
Here is it..as you can notice the color difference..

| Unblended, Blended |
The difference may not be much visible..but it looks too orangey in person..
1. Provides medium to high coverage..you can skip your concealer and foundation.
2. Stays for a good 6-7 hours..and gives a dewy finish..only the T zone is required to be touched up for oily/combination skin.
3. Has SPF 15.
4. Has red algae, jojoba oil and a few other good ingredients.
5. Does not have a pink or grey tint like the true BB creams and no whitish cast too.
6. 50 ml would last long.
7. Works as a primer too as claimed..it does give a smooth finish and lets the foundation stay a little longer.
Cons:
1. The product gets collected at the opening.
2. Only 4 shades available..and Medium is too dark whereas Light may be a tad lighter..there are 2 more shades required between Medium and Light.
3. Available online.
4. Has parabens.
Overall I do like the texture, smoothness and coverage of the product..one of those high coverage products that give a smooth finish…and can be used as a primer, concealer, tinted moisturiser, foundation..as you like it..I would surely love to try the Light shade, if its not too light for me, that is. I wish SleekMakeUp came with more shades in this..
