In addition, BCDation All Master promises to brighten up you skin, and even-out uneven skin tone with a lightweight coverage that’s long-lasting -lasting up to 24 hours! Well, who would wear makeup for 24 hours, but then again, that in itself is amazing enough. It also claims to lift and to plump up sagging skin as well as provide lasting 48-hour moisturizing effect. All this with no harmful ingredients that’s safe and effective for all skin types and tones!

The BCDation All Master comes in only 2 shades. I’m not really a big fan of "fits most skin color" types of foundations because I really like variety. I want range where I can choose from. Maybe this concept would go well with Koreans because they're all fair, but not for Filipinas. But aside from the irrational simple concept of "one color fits all, I have found that this foundation worked quite well for me. Either because I was lucky enough to be fair-skinned, or this foundation really does adapt to the skin. If you have morena skin, you will have to wait for a review coming from a morena's point of view.

This is a lightweight formula compared to typical BB creams (in spite of it being a foundation), but not as light in texture as most CC creams -so imagine a texture somewhere in between. The coverage is similar to that of medium coverage foundations and only comes in 2 shades. I don't think this will work out too well with morena skin who have an olive, or a tanned skin undertone. In spite of the foundation highlighting the white heads and the pores on my nose (that's my fault, I haven't gone to the derma for a good cleaning}, I did notice that the foundation complemented my skin tone well and gave my skin a naturally brightened up look.

Even though I didn't use a moisturizer prior to application, it glided on really well on my skin and moisturized it well. The moisturizing effect lasted for a few hours for me, but my skin didn't feel tight or dry after though, it kept my skin's dryness at bay which is always a good sign.
In my opinion, I think this foundation would be awesome for women who have evenly balanced skin types (normal skin), because it gives a very good coverage with a lightweight finish. The 24-hour lasting promise didn't really go well with my oily nose because just after a couple of hours wear, it sort of disappeared on my nose leaving me to retouch and powder my nose all day to give an even finish on my skin.

It's a good foundation to use for everyday because it works really well with our humid country. It's very lightweight on the skin with great coverage. It sits well on the skin and it did soothe my dry spots which is always a good sign of a good hydrating foundation. I love how smoothly it went on my skin and it adapted to my skin too after a while.

I found a good way to make this foundation work well on me too. I noticed that if I exfoliate regularly, the foundation glides on even more smoothly and lasts longer on my skin.
