Choosing bb creams
BB creams combine light coverage with a skin-tinting effect and are usually lighter than a full foundation. Start with shade. Test a few options along your jawline in daylight, since a shade that matches your neck can look off on your face. Consider finish as well. Dewy formulas suit dry skin, while matte or satin finishes can work better if your skin tends to look shiny by midday.
Read the product description for skin or hair type notes, such as oil-free or hydrating, and choose a texture you like to apply. Fluids blend easily, while thicker creams offer more coverage. Match the size to how often you will wear it, and check whether it comes as a tube, pump, or compact.
How to use bb cream
Apply BB cream to clean skin after your usual skincare, and let that layer settle for a minute before adding more. Use a fingertip, sponge, or brush, and blend from the center of the face outward for an even result. Build coverage in thin layers rather than one heavy application.
If you need more coverage in certain areas, add a small amount of concealer on top, blending its edges carefully.
Questions about bb creams
Is BB cream the same as CC cream?
No. BB cream is a tinted, skin-blending product with light coverage, while CC cream is typically designed for color correction with a bit more coverage. Compare labels, or browse CC creams to see the difference.
Can I wear BB cream on its own?
Yes, many people wear it alone for a light, natural look. For more coverage, you can layer it with other products.
