    The BB cream has become an absolute must-have. This multi-tasking miracle product has become a staple in many of our makeup bags. But, as Australians, we all know that a makeup product is only as good as it’s SPF.

    When you’re looking for a BB cream, it’s important that it has adequate protection from our country’s harsh sun. The best BB creams will offer at least an SPF 30, contain moisturising properties and give skin a natural glow.

    Here are our top five picks of the best BB creams with the added benefit of SPF 30.

    GREAT BB CREAM WITH SPF 30 #1: Bobbi Brown BB Cream SPF 35

    We say: The Bobbi Brown BB cream goes one step further, offering SPF 35 protection. It also helps to boost collagen production, which is a plus for ageing skin.

    You say: “If you are looking for a BB cream which has light coverage, gives the most gorgeous velvety semi-matte finish, counteracts shine, and makes your pores disappear – this is for you!” - Muser

    GREAT BB CREAM WITH SPF 30 #2: Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream

    We say: If you prefer a BB cream that offers you the same kind of coverage as your foundation, this one’s a winner. Its SPF 30 also eliminates the need for sunscreen underneath, meaning your skin stays comfortable and lightweight.

    You say: “It gives a really decent coverage without looking cakey on your skin. It also smoothes out fine lines and makes pores disappear. It basically looks natural, bringing out the best in your skins natural beauty.” -Candyfairy

    GREAT BB CREAM WITH SPF 30 #3: Chi Chi Super BB Cream

    We say: If you suffer from dry, red skin this BB cream will solve all your problems. With the added benefit of SPF 30 for sun protection, you really can’t go wrong.

    You say: “Hands down this is the Best BB cream I have ever used. And I've used plenty of different brands. This is a light to medium coverage and is definitely moisturising and stays put all day.” -Kburnie

    GREAT BB CREAM WITH SPF 30 #4: Kiehl’s Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream

    We say: If you prefer products that are fragrance-free, help to hide your pores and provide SPF 30 protection, this BB is for you.

    You say: “I purchased the 'Fair' shade, and it blends in really well with my pink-toned skin. Coverage is good, and you can tell that there's decent SPF in there.” – Kat L

    GREAT BB CREAM WITH SPF 30 #5: ModelCo BB Plus Cream

    We say: This BB cream has up to 12 hours of staying power, so is great for those who hate fussing about with touch-ups. Combine this longevity with the protection of SPF 30 and this is one must-have product for the time-poor.

    You say: “The cream instantly transforms skin, gives a glowing radiance, makes me feel good to know my skin looks great.”- Neilrawson

    Atm loving Photoderm from Bioderma SPF50 and fab thing

    Scarlett_Angel 29 Mar 2017 4:34 AM

    I'm in dire need of a BB cream with high SPF that will suit my pale skin tone, and not sweat off like foundation during hot and humid Brisbane weather! Any suggestions? Everything I've tried is orange on me :( I liked the Garnier one but it's only 15+ and still orange tinged...

    melmeko 9 Mar 2017 10:45 PM

    Love the Bobby Brown one, it is simply flawless, however as I can't afford it often, my current go-to BB cream is by Garnier and is for oily to combination skin. It's only SPF 15, but it's an affordable alternative that seems to compliment my often fussy skin, as well as being suitable for the humid climate here in FNQ.

    I use an Avon BB cream (no sunscreen); an Avon CC cream with SPF25 and an Hydroxatone anti-aging BB cream with SPF40. I usually mix my BB creams to get the perfect colour match.

    I've previously heard that the chi chi BB cream is really good so I might try that also.

    AP1992 6 Mar 2017 2:06 PM

    I find that BB Creams with sun protection are oily!

    Nicoler112 5 Mar 2017 8:22 PM

    Bb cream is great for summer. All i need when my skin is well behaved

    ray_jay 5 Mar 2017 8:17 PM

    I Love bb and cc creams but none of these come with physical sunscreen

    RalucaP 5 Mar 2017 3:02 PM

    I use foundation with SPF .I bought BB cream once (online) , it was really nice to use ,but the shade wasn't right , too dark.

    Chicklet 5 Mar 2017 12:10 PM

    Lately I'm preferring BB creams rather than foundation.

    I've been using Physicians Formula BB cream & I like it.

    bebeautiful34 4 Mar 2017 5:32 PM

    I like how bb creams have high spf but I like more coverage so I just use sunscreen then foundation

    sootyblack_14 4 Mar 2017 4:14 PM

    The down side to these is that you generally don't reapply the cream every four hours like you do with sunscreen.... So they aren't as effective and you can still get sun burnt...

    Jess R 4 Mar 2017 7:48 AM

    I haven't tried these but I like the Nars matte velvet skin tint which is like a bb cream in terms of coverage and skin benefits.

    MelissaFay89 4 Mar 2017 12:55 AM

    I don't think I have tried any of these yet but they look good

    Marjmd 3 Mar 2017 11:40 PM

    I tried ChiChi BB cream and I love it so much. It also lasts a longtime. I have also tried Maybelline BB and thats good as well as affordable every day go to BB cream if you just dont feel like going out completely bare faced. I would like to try Bobbi Brown BB, but the only thing stoping me is its price tag!

    Hayley644 3 Mar 2017 11:06 PM

    I've tried a Garnier, Loreal and Clinique one but I don't think any of them have had a 30+SPF.

    peachsbeauty 3 Mar 2017 9:29 PM

    I'd love to try the Chi Chi and Kiehl's one.. and the Bobbi Brown one, while I'm at it!

    morgo1 3 Mar 2017 7:20 PM

    The best BB cream I've ever used is the BB cream by NYX. (I don't think it has SPF in it though)

    Beauty Obsession 3 Mar 2017 7:18 PM

    I've tried the Modelco one which was good. Love to try the Bobbi Brown one. Can't go past Garnier's BB for s good inexpensive one.

    Dazza the wombat 3 Mar 2017 7:12 PM

    Any cream I put on my face, I want an SPF in it (except for night creams).

    Ellyloves 4 Mar 2017 10:26 AM

    Same, it's so important!!

    cityglenda 3 Mar 2017 5:47 PM

    I love my Burts Bees BB cream.

    freaky 3 Mar 2017 5:07 PM

    I love the chi chi bb cream. So many great ingredients with added antioxidants as well. Its a beauty

    Petal 29 Mar 2017 4:39 PM

    I've read many positive reviews for the Chi Chi BB cream.

    Yohanna 3 Mar 2017 3:03 PM

    Would like to try Bobbi Brown. But for now have my fave from EArden Prevage 30 spf foundation that is more of a BB cream (that I absolutely looooove, as it is so good on/for the skin plus so lightweight!). Next on my list same as Petal, It Cosmetics 50SPF CC one, but must swatch first. Do not like heavy stuff.
