BB cream recommendations?

I have been using the maybelline dream fresh for a while now, but the smell is kinda off putting, it makes my skin shiny, and leaves a dewy finish... Now I know some of these problems can be fixed with powder but I don't really want to wear powder. So what are some good bb creams that are shine free, leave a matte finish, and smell good? I also want it to cover up blemishes obviously. So help?

    Even though BB creams make you look amazing, I'm the long run it's actually a billion times worse then a lot of other makeup because of the way your skin reacts to it over time. It caused me to have really intense acne breakouts and dryness/ roughness. These effects only happen after using it daily after a while, and it may not be like this for everyone but for me it made my life A LOT worse. I also know many people with the same problems. If you only use BB Cream every once in a whole though, it's fine because it makes you look great, just not after repetitive usage.

    I personally have the Annabelle BB Cream, but there is a slight initial smell that I either got used to or it just faded away, haha. It has a matte finish and pretty good staying power, if you don't touch your face a lot.

    Rimmel has one specifically designed for a matte complexion. If you have oily skin, L'Oreal has one that has tiny exfoliating beads (weird, I know).

    Hope this helps!
