Shills Diamond Girl BB Silkily Foundation Review


Is it a BB Cream? Is it a primer? One can't be sure when it comes to Shills Diamond Girl BB Silkily Foundation. Ahh there in lays a clue..."silkily foundation" so that must mean it's a foundation right?




Let's find out!

Jump ahead for the deets!

If I'm honest with myself I'll admit that Shills Diamond Girl BB Silkily Foundation is not a BB Cream, nor is it a foundation but it does happen to fall into the glorified primer category quite nicely.

What is it?

A refreshing and moisturizing tonic which regulates the skin's PH and restores it's uniform color.

I dunno that's what the box says but don't take my word for it take a look for yourself:



What is it really?

It's a thick creamy white moisturizer with flecks of pearl that preps skin prior to foundation use. It's extra thick which makes it a pain for blending in and absorbing easy but it sure will do the trick of filling pores if you're looking for a good treatment to do so. The thick consistency should fill lines, pores, and other skin woes you're sporting at the moment. It's not greasy in the least and feels quite nice on the skin once it's fully absorbed.




The product promises to whiten skin which it does successfully. It removes dull spots and creates a nice white finish to skin which allows your foundation to go on smoother and look more natural. The shade is a tad ghastly at first but after foundation is in place it's perfect. This also claims to have anti-aging and anti-acne fighting ingredients but I can't speak for either as I am not having any probs with acne at the moment and anti-aging is really a hard call as you'd have to use the product years to see any real results.





As a primer it's super as it does allow foundation to apply easier and last a tad bit longer than usual. It smells like a fresh floral almost rose scented. The product in general does much of what it promises and I'm particularly thrilled with how well it works at bringing my skin down a shade slightly, nothing dramatic just a tad bit of whitening. The Muse is all about anything that whitens her skin so this falls into the awesome category. Generally speaking the product is used to create radiant to skin where it happens to be dull or lackluster so don't be fooled by it's name "BB Silkily Foundation", it is by all means a primer with whitening benefits at best. Shills Diamond Girl BB Silkily Foundation also comes in a lilac shade which can be used for lightening skin tone as well but I felt like the white did a fine job of this already.

Overall, I really liked the product and would purchase again should I run out. I paid retail which was $239TWD I believe which isn't a bad deal. I've seen it on E-bay ranging for $15.99-$17.99 USD which isn't exactly a fair price but not too bad as I think it's worth trying out.

You'll like this if:

  • You want something to fill up pores, fine lines, etc...
  • You want to brighten, whiten, and add radiance to skin
  • You want a nice thick primer to aid foundation wear and tear

Tried it?
