There are tons of makeup products on the market today, which gives us so many to choices.
Whatever your skin type is, you can find a perfect base product. But it’s not all that perfect — how do you know what to get without being forced to personally try everything and go broke during the process?
The most popular base products are BB creams and foundations.
What Are the Differences?
The main difference between foundation and BB cream is in the coverage. Foundations are typically thicker and provide better coverage. BB creams are basically tinted moisturizers.
As always, there’s no right or wrong option. It all depends on what you need from your base product.
BB creams are great for acne-prone skin because they aren’t as thick and they won’t clog your skin like some heavier foundations can do. To help cover blemishes that BB cream simply won’t hide, use a concealer and only apply it where needed.
A foundation is generally better for special occasions and evening makeup.
