What is BB foundation Makeup?
Standing for “beauty balm,” BB creams are lighter than foundation, which is designed for max coverage. “BB cream offers sheer coverage. Foundation is a better choice if you’re trying to cover blemishes or imperfections,” explains celebrity makeup artist Scott Patric of Project Runway and Say Yes to the Dress.
What is the difference between foundation and BB cream?
Foundation is typically thicker and provides more coverage. BB cream is typically light and while it can conceal blemishes, it typically won’t cover major scars or blemishes.
Can BB cream be used as foundation?
Brimming with benefits, BB creams by their beautifying nature allow the skin to breathe offering a natural, lightweight coverage that won’t irritate the skin.

What is the difference between BB and CC makeup?
BB cream is a hydrating makeup that’s ideal for dry skin. It’s like a tinted moisturizer, but with added skin care properties like brighteners and mineral SPF. Meanwhile, CC cream has more coverage than BB cream. It’s also lighter and more matte, so it’s best for oily and acne-prone skin.
Can I use BB cream daily?
You can use a BB cream as part of your daily routine in place of foundation. If your skin tends to be oily, the moisturizer in a BB cream may be enough. But if you have normal or dry skin, you may want to apply a moisturizer before your BB cream.
Which is better concealer or BB cream?
The short answer: you get more for less. Foundation and concealer cover up the skin and rarely do anything more. And like tinted moisturizers, the hydrating formulas in BB and CC cream are lighter than those of foundations and concealers. They won’t completely mask the whole face unless you build up coverage to do so.
Does BB cream clog pores?
Some BB creams are too heavy and will clog pores, causing more pesky pimples. Others aren’t oil-free, which can be a problem if your skin is already greasy and you’re looking to steer clear of breakouts and shine. So, you need to be careful when picking the best BB cream for oily skin.
