Flawless skin - isn't that what we all want when we apply foundation? Smashbox created a BB Water product that is a very liquid foundation - their Camera Ready BB Water Broad Spectrum SPF 30. You may remember I tried their BB Cream for Eyes a few year ago (see that review here). Before we begin, first about my foundation needs:

THE PRODUCT: Smashbox Camera Ready BB Water ($50 CDN)
The basis of this BB Water is that it is a hydrating and oil-free formula that creates a sheer, radiant finish that lasts. It claims to delivers a demi-matte finish that will minimizes the look of fine lines, pores, and blemishes. Because of the formula, it claims it allows you to build coverage one drop at a time, and will not dry, or cake. Here is some more information directly from Smashbox:
I think what interested me most about this is how light the formula was, and I was really intrigued by the dropper as that really helps to control how much you use, and build up coverage slowly.
- PRIMES: Blurs out imperfections like fine lines, pores and blemishes
- PROTECTS: SPF 30 helps shield skin from environmental damage
- PERFECTS: Sheer-to-medium coverage comes easy with its buildable, liquid-silk consistency.
- HYDRATES: A revolutionary formula infused with elements of Primer Water quenches skin
- OIL & ALCOHOL FREE: No shine.

The Results
In this case, I think pictures speak louder than any words I can type here! I'm so impressed with this BB Water. It literally feels like NOTHING on the skin, and covers so naturally, and last well all day. I personally wear it with the Rimmel Primer as my skin is quite oily.
