Annabelle BB Compact Makeup

I recently finished off my compact of MAKE UP FOR EVER's Pro Finish, and I was looking for a drugstore alternative. This lead me to Annabelle's BB Compact Makeup* ($15.95 CAD/7.2 g). I've tried plenty of BB Creams, but this was my first time using a BB powder.

"Be flawless everyday with this light reflecting compact makeup. Absorbs sebum, controls shine and fits complexion perfectly. Includes a double-sided sponge for a buildable coverage. Paraben-Free. Perfume-Free." - Annabelle

I don't generally turn to powders for a full coverage look, so I've been using this product as a setting powder. If you enjoy a light, natural look, then you could wear just this powder and a bit of concealer. I have the shade Light-Medium, and there is also an option of medium-dark. I tried my best to take swatch photos of this powder, but it matches my skin so well that it just wouldn't show up in a photo! This formula is very creamy, but if you get heavy handed then you can look powdery. I've been using a kabuki brush to really blend this powder into my skin. I really like using this on top of a dewy foundation to tone down the shine. This gives my skin a semi-matte look without looking flat. If you look really closely, there is a tiny amount of shimmer in this formula. Thankfully, the shimmer doesn't show up when applied to my face. There is a mirror and a double sided sponge in this compact, making it a great on-the-go option. 

While I do really like this powder, I'm not sure what makes it a "BB powder". I wouldn't be able to wear this as a stand alone foundation, so I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose (unless you like a light coverage). I do love that this powder keeps me shine-free all day long, and I don't find myself needing to touch-up throughout the day. Have you tried Annabelle's BB Compact Makeup?
