Dr. Jart+ BB Mate Contouring 1.2.3 Kit

Today, a new product from Dr. Jart+ goes in the gradebook. This is the BB Mate Contouring 1.2.3 Kit, which I purchased online from Sephora. The Dr. Jart+ BB Mate kit comes with three shades – Highlight, Neutralize, and Bronze. These are meant to be applied over your favorite Dr. Jart+ BB, but of course, you can really use whatever foundation you want!

If you forgot how we grade around here, go see our grading policy! Let’s get to it!

Ease of Application: 5/5
All three of the shades come in a tube with a doe foot applicator. I like to dot the products on my face and then blend with fingers, sponge or brush. Amazingly for a liquid product, I even find this easy to use to contour the nose area. I have nothing bad to say about the application.

Formula: 5/5
These shades all blend superbly with each other and other makeup. The bronze shade, which I use for contouring, manages to blend out while still maintaining some color on the initial application area, making it a really easy product to use. All three tubes have the consistency of a liquid concealer – not runny but not thick.

Color: 5/5
This is a tricky situation because all of these colors are perfect for me, which means they will not be perfect for a lot of people. I do think you could be somewhat lighter or darker and still find a way to work with these three shades. I would love to see Dr. Jart+ come out with sets for other skin tones. [Edit: an Instgram friend has informed me that Dr. Jart+ has indicated they are making a set for darker skin tones!]

Packaging: 3/5
The little booklet that these tubes come in is cute, but is also excessive. It is hard to get the tubes in and out of their little nooks. I plan on throwing the box away as soon as this post is published. Additionally, I am concerned that for the price, these tubes are a bit small. I am worried about running out of product.

The Dr. Jart+ BB Mate Contouring 1.2.3. Kit receives an A!
