Recommended brand of BB cream?

Virtually any Asian brand. Most of the western ones are nothing more than overglorified tinted moisturizers. http://www.musingsofamuse.com/category/make-up-reviews/bb-cream-reviews

Thanks for the link! I never knew asian brands for BB cream is best
The Asian ones tend to have more skincare benefits, higher SPF, and that sort of thing.

The Asian brand ones are the best but if you can't find them there are a few decent ones out there. The Smashbox one is supposed to be really good but I've never tried it. If you need a drugstore one, the BB cream from Rimmel is great, although there are only 3 shades. It has pretty good coverage for a bb cream. Tarte makes amazing bb creams - they lasts 10-12 hours too. The IT cosmetics your skin but better CC cream is great too. You can find that at Ulta. Garnier also has a good bb cream that's around $11. There's a lot of hype around that one.

Skin79 has a bunch of fantastic bb creams to choose from, plus they're also available online if you can't find them in store. I personally like the Oriental Gold one that include a cheek/lip color in the cap of the bb cream (yay for multitaskers!). It does have SPF so you'll get that white cast in flash photography, FYI. The original Garnier one is great for combo/dry skin and gives a dewy finish perfect for summer; decent medium-ish coverage w/ no SPF.

The Dior one hands down ( if you cannot grab the Asian ones ), and Chanel CC cream IMO.

Hanskin bb creams are the best. They blend into the skin better and make the skin look brighter vs. some of them staying as grey.
I personally didn't like Skin 79 and Dr. Jart because they felt heavy, but they are definitely popular, and have a lot of coverage.
I've recently been looking around and found Klair's illuminating bb cream and is quite nice. its not grey.
Hera's CC cream is very much alike the BB creams, just tiny bit lighter weight and more moisturizing

I love the Dr. Jart Black Label Detox BB Cream. I don't find it heavy and it gives me just the right amount of light coverage needed.

Asian brands for sure. Skin79 or Missha are good places to start.
