| Dr. Jart Water Fuse Beauty Balm SPF 25 |
The Dr. Jart BB range has become one of the most popular brands in Asia, specially in Korea. It is said to be a one-step skin perfecting balm that minimizes the need for foundation or concealer. It features a unique water bead formula which helps hydrate the skin, leaving tiny droplets of water once it's applied. It is then absorbed, leaving the skin moisturized and looking dewy. It is oil-free and has SPF 25. Like most BB creams, it comes in only one universal shade.
Dr. Jart beauty balms has lots of variants; they have CC balms and BB's that are targeted towards skin renewal. I chose the Water Fuse BB because it claims to be made of 50% water. Water is always good, right? It has actually been in the market for a while but I haven't noticed it getting a lot of hype in the Philippines. Although I bought this at an international online site, it has been made available to the Philippines about 2 years ago.

Packaging
Dr. Jart Water Fuse BB Balm comes in a simply designed, squeezable tube. Really convenient to carry around and the cap doesn't seem to budge so it would be safe to put inside your purse. My concern about the packaging though is that, like most squeezable tubes, it can be quite hard to get the products out specially if you've used up more than half of it. Nonetheless, the size is just right to fit our kikay kit.

Consistency and Color
The consistency is quite thick which is expected as it claims to cover up blemishes. But it was quite ironic too since, as mentioned above, half of it is made of water. So you would think that it can be quite runny. I was worried about the color when I saw it. It looked quite grayish right from the tube. Fair skinned people wouldn't be so apprehensive with this. This is the usual problem with most BB creams; we don't really have a choice. I have quite warm tones to my skin and I admit I was on the fence when I saw it swatched against my hand.
The camera didn't pick up on the grayish tones so you may not notice it in my swatch photo below.

Application and Wear
I used a MAC 187 brush to apply the product onto my skin. The reason I used this brush is because I feel like this will help thin out the product upon application. If you're like me who doesn't want a lot of coverage, then this is the way to go. It was a bit stiff to work with. However, using circular motions with the brush will help it blend easily.
The color blended in with my skin quite surprisingly. It didn't leave a ghastly cast considering it has quite a grayish tint. It covered up redness on my skin and gave it an even finish. What I like is that if felt lightweight and didn't cling to dry skin around my nose. I noticed I was quite shiny on the t-zone a few hours into wear. A shine that is more than the dewy look.
Longevity
The product doesn't claim to be long wearing. I noticed it faded on the areas where I was sweating; like on the top of my upper lip, on the temples, and on my forehead.
Final Recommendations
People with oily skin may suffer from too much shine from this product. Great for people with normal to dry skin. The sun protection feature makes it a great all in one product. I would recommend this for those who are always on the run and wants a fuss free, one-step makeup, as it is a skincare product too.
