5.0 out of 5 stars “Golden Glow” Universal Shade is Non-Negotiable!
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I’ve been using this product for over five years now and absolutely love it! I’ve recently tried other BB creams and foundations (at a lower price point) and nothing compares. This product is worth every penny! The “Golden Glow” universal color is my favorite feature of this product…it matches my skin tone no matter if I’m winter-pale or summer-tan. For years, I wore this product as a stand-alone foundation. Just recently, I have been mixing it (half and half) with a full-coverage foundation. This has been the perfect solution for an aging face that still prefers a youthful glow!
5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE this
First time buyer of this product and it's my favorite. I hate wearing makeup, I can never get it to look as soft as my own skin. So I never wear it other than lip color or some mascara. But I want to be able to wear some foundation to give a soft glow and even out the color of my skin so I found that BB cream would best fit what I wanted. This is only my 2nd BB cream I've used, but I've tried so many foundations from department store to Luxury brands and none of them gave me this perfect soft sheer coverage while adding the perfect amount of glow to my face to make me look alive even when I first wake up early in the morning, AND doesn't crease. It's become my daily product I use as part of my regiment. Face wash, rose water face mist, Korean hydration serum, sunscreen and then this product. I finish it off with some soft smudgy lip color in the Chinese makeup style for lip color, and curled lashes and I have this pretty, natural sun kissed glow look.
5.0 out of 5 stars Holy Grail Product
The key to glowing complexion. Received this in my Birchbox probably 10 yeeears ago and became an instant devotee. There is no better BB cream than this…period. Super buildable coverage. Some days I wear it totally alone just to even out my skin, sometimes I use it as a base for formal makeup. Universally flattering shade—easy to adapt from summer tan to winter pale. No smell. Great consistency—just thick enough. Has a moisturizing element, too. I’m 32 and after a decade of wearing this almost daily I still get compliments on my skin. I consider it one of my key products.
4.0 out of 5 stars Compared with many others...
I received this in my birtchbox one or two months ago. It seems like a generic bb cream that I was going to be testing just for the heck of it. I put on that stuff on and I was like...whaaaaa? This product is be-u-ti-ful! What I didn't like was that it contains NO SPF. It is the kind of product that you can put on with nothing else, so in my mind I would have liked it to also cover the SPF requirement to make it a one and only product for lazy days. So... I decided to go on a search for a similar product that contained the coveted SPF.BTW. I have combo skin and have very Yellow undertones, I'm not sure how this would work on pink undertones but it is worth a try! I tried several BB creams or Tinted Moisturizers that were AT LEAST SPF 30 and compared them all with the Marcelle:1. Smashbox: with horrible packaging, I wasn't impressed with the look, it is more matte than Marcelle, no healthy golden glow there. The product is more liquidy so it felt like more work to apply.2. First Aid Tinted moisturizer, I got Oily really quick with this one, the finish was ok, but again not the healthy golden glow that Marcelle gives.3. Make Up Forever Tinted Moisturizer: it sunk into my smile lines after 2-3 hrs... It felt dry and it looked so so, even after wearing my hourglass holy grail primer.4. Bare Minerals: This was the least bad of them all. Still the finish wasn't impressive, it was evening... that's about it.5. Maybelline BB cream: now this one I used in the past, I didn't compare recently because I think is less than 30SPF but I'll add it here and let you know that it was uber oily on me. I haven't tried the Matte version, but I'm done trying to find something better.6. Another one I have tried in the past is the CLINIQUE BB Cream, the finish is not as good as the Marcelle and the undertones are way too pink, so that one didn't work for me.Conclusion: Marcelle is the best BB cream I've tried. I'm letting go the SPF wish and I'll just use SPF before applying it. I use Paula's Choice SPF 30 for Oily Skin and they worked well together. Finally I'll summarize what I love about this product:***I have noticed it looks much better with a primer. So take that in account when applying. I've used Hourglass mineral veil among others.1. Transfer: The cream is not completely transfer proof, but it was better most of the above. It still did a really good job. It dries quicky and after it's dry it feels like your skin. If you rub, it will come off. I will say though, I went to the Gym, I worked out and sweted and it wasn't a face disaster. I'm really impressed. (Mind you I had applied it around 8am, went to church, grocery shopping, by the time I was at the gym it was 3pm and I still look good before working out...)2. Texture it has a light dimethacone feeling, so it goes on the skin easily, smoothly and it has less of a "wet" or cream feeling if that makes sense.3. Glow: EVERY time I put this on is like the most amazing pick me up for my skin. I LOVE THE NATURAL GLOW of this stuff. It's what sets it apart and what makes it unique in my opinion. Do consider, this is a subtle sheen on the skin. Nothing too obvios. I have to kind of tilt my face to notice it, that's what I like about it. It looks glowy but not too much.4. Color: Combined with the glow, it makes my skin warm and healthy. This is it's best feature. Golden Glow lives up to it's name..5. Coverage: It is in the "even" category but I would say it is on the more covering side. Wich I love because my skin has some pigmentation (nothing mayor but definately noticible if you pay attention). I liked it better than the Mac Body and Face Foundation... it felt like a much much better alternative for a low coverage product.6. Long Lasting: Like I said, it is long lasting and it fades gracefully by the end of the day.7. It does feel hydrating. No sinking in my fine lines.In conclusion, If Marcelle stopped producing this product I think the beauty addict in me would die! This product is so so impressive. I will use this daily. If you add some blush, a bit of bronzer and mascara, it makes you look pretty but not too "done" if you know what I mean. If your skin is good, with no pigmentation or mayor issues, I think you are going to love this stuff because the glow is still so flattering and not oily looking. (I personally prefer this, my petpeeve is to see people with highlighter all over and call it "healthy"... and or glowy mists that make you look like you need to blot, for me tha's not healthy glow, that's just plain oily!). If you have a lot of pigmentation, the product may be able to bring you to a more comfortable place quickly, but it won't cover your imperfections, still, like I said before. I think is worth giving it a try.Update***I’ve found some dupes for this product and one I like better because it has spf. I tried them covering half my face with MARCELL and the other half with the other products, same exact look.1. Becca aqua Luminous Foundation: $442. Perricone No Foundation Foundation spf 30. I think this is the winner and I’ll probably by this one when I run out of my MARCELL tube.I’ve lowered two 4 stars because the product doesn’t have spf.
5.0 out of 5 stars feels like I'm not wearing makeup
I ran to Bolo to buy this after using a sample size tube of this and literally cutting the top off and scraping out what was left inside. I LOVE IT! It is the PERFECT BB cream to use in the summer when I'm tan, and even in the fall/winter months when I just want some extra glowiness to my skin. I love that I can use just this when I want a more natural look, or I can layer other makeup on top when I need some more coverage. I cannot say enough great things about it! I am an oily/acne prone girl and I am still able to use this with no issues, I just blot throughout the day as I would with any other product!
5.0 out of 5 stars My go to
I've used this for years and absolutely love it. Just the right amount of coverage. I can wear this alone or underneath some concealer if needed. Blends well. Just the right amount of shimmer, for those of us who prefer to not look like a disco ball. Gives a natural golden look, like you're fresh out of the sun. I do wish there was a lighter option for the winter time when my skin doesn't have as much color, it's a little dark for that. Doesn't feel heavy and keeps my dry skin feeling moisturized.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice lightweight foundation
Love this foundation. Got a sample from a friend and now I'm hooked. I mix it with a bit of moisturizer before applying and it just makes my skin look brighter.
3.0 out of 5 stars Universal Shade is not "Universal"
This product had a lot of good reviews, so I decided to try it out. A lot of the Bb creams have various shades that you can choose from however this one said "universal" shade. I was disappointed as I put it on my face because it had a color that was like clay with a tinge of grey in it that was not complimentary to my facial tone. I am using it, but I have to mix it with a drop or two of foundation in order to color correct the shade.

Its good
👌
Great for Older Skin
I was looking for a cream that would cover the "blotches" on my face and even out my tone. This with the tint in it is great. I don't have to put anything over the top of it.
Great product
Purchased as a lightweight foundation alternative for my mature skin. Was skeptical about the 'universal colour's since I am quite fair, but it really seems to be! Nice, light coverage, gives a bit of a healthy tone and feels good. Doesn't settle in lines or cake like some foundations. I would recommend it for sure.
Great finish with good coverage
I have lighter skin (ivory beige) and in winter I was worried this would be too dark/orange. But I loved how it blended into my skin and gave glow. I just wish it had SPF. I will be buying again.Update: I have used this everyday since buying a month ago. Bought more because it was in sale and didn't want to run out. I put it on after my concealer. I do find I like to reapply again later in the day for a refresh glow. I took a star off because the pump sucks. It doesn't come out consistently and most of the time it squirts random directions. Have to clean up counter/wall. Messy.
