Ever Bilena Advance BB Cream Demo and Review

This is the first local bb cream I have tried mainly because I love the Pro Flawless Finish Foundation, so I got this too. I bought this bb cream a month ago and have been using it for a while. Ever Bilena came up with two variants. Anti-wrinkle has grayish undertone and comes in a pink packaging. Whitening has yellow tone and in a purple squeeze tube. Whitening is more suited for Asian skin so many choose it over the anti-wrinkle. I got it at Watsons for P195.00, which is a steal considering that it contains 50ml of product. That's really cheap! Is it worth it though?!

The thing I love about this bb cream is the yellow undertone. It evens out the skin tone, cancels redness on the skin, and makes you look more youthful and fresh the moment you apply it. Below is a before and after photo. You'll see that even if I have a neutral undertone, the bb cream doesn't look too bad on me. It doesn't really adjust to your skin tone like the other bb creams, so if you have darker skin, I would suggest you try out the testers first to see how you like it and decide whether you still want to buy it or  not, although you can always warm up your face with a bronzer. 


If only these reasons were enough to make me keep this bb cream...

This bb cream has medium coverage, but I wouldn't recommend building it up because it cakes and creases. It dries matte but makes my skin look dull. I'm not sure about the anti-wrinkle one, but this bb cream has a thicker consistency, and it doesn't glide on the skin easily even with a primer. I have tried using my fingers and brush to apply it but the best tool that works for me is the sponge. It's not very blendable, and it dries quickly so it tugs my skin if I use my fingers to apply it. It doesn't blend on the skin properly. It just sits there and doesn't even fill in the pores very well unless you push on to the skin. It doesn't photograph good either.


I have oily skin, but this dries out my skin. I wouldn't recommend anyone with dry skin to use this at all. It made me break out badly, and I haven't broken out this much until I tried this bb cream, which is sad because I wanted to like it as much as I love the foundation. I broke out on my nose and brow area after I filmed the demo video, which is irritating. 


Now let's talk about staying power. Terrible! Believe me, I'm an easy person to please when it comes to makeup but this just didn't work out for me. About an hour after applying this bb cream, it crumbles, cakes, creases, melts, and looks blotchy. It could not stand the heat and humidity at all. It may work better when it's cooler, I don't know, but I'm not trying this again.  I apply this with primer underneath and even mix it with my primer, but it won't work. The bb cream separates from the primer and doesn't apply evenly. Not worth the effort to be honest.








I regret that I bought this bb cream not because I spent money on it, but it made me break out badly. I haven't had a bad experience like this with any makeup at all. Not to mention the smell, I seriously can't take it. I had a feeling that I won't like this bb cream... I should have listened. I have tried this bb cream many times and gave it a few chances but it fails me every time. I wouldn't recommend this bb cream from my experience. Some people may like this, but it just isn't for me. I'd rather spend on the Pro Flawless Finish Foundation which is cheaper but works nicely, or pay a little more on a bb cream/brand known to offer good quality. I have an in-depth review and demo video on the Ever Bilena Pro Flawless Finish Foundation so check it in case you're interested.


I hope that this review was helpful. Have a good day everyone! ♥
