The difference between BB cream and Foundation

See the source image

If you take a walk down any makeup aisle, it’s clear there are so many complexion products to choose from. There’s an endless amount of finishes (think: dewy, matte, velvet). The sheer number of BB creams, CC creams and foundations can be overwhelming. Ahead, learn the difference between BB cream, CC cream and foundation — and tips for applying each. 

What Is BB Cream?

BB cream is an all-in-one makeup product. It traditionally has good-for-your-skin ingredients like SPF and sufficient coverage to still even out redness and smooth rough texture. BB creams range anywhere from a barely-there tint to medium coverage. What’s more, BB creams also have the added benefit of helping breakout-prone skin. “If you’re acne-prone, using a BB cream that’s oil-free is a good way to go,” says Flor.

What Is Foundation?

Foundation is a classic go-to option for makeup artists and beauty lovers who want to create a flawless canvas and have superior skin coverage. If you want something that’s going to last all day and give you airbrushed-looking skin, foundation is the right choice, says Flor. Foundations are also available in a wide range of coverage options.

What Is CC Cream?

Cut from the same cloth as a BB cream, a CC cream, or color correcting cream, is an all-in-one product intended to address redness, darkness and sallowness. It blends skin care with light-diffusing properties to give you a smoother complexion, but it doesn’t give the same amount of coverage as a BB cream.

How to Apply BB Cream and CC Cream

BB creams and CC creams are a true time-saver in the morning and impossible to mess up. “Anything that combines sunscreen, skin-care ingredients, antioxidants and light coverage is ideal for the busy woman who doesn’t have time for a more in-depth regimen,” says Dr. Peredo. Just rub a pea-sized or dime-size amount between your hands to warm it up and apply to bare, freshly cleansed skin. You can use a sponge or brush for application, too. Just note, if you have extra dry skin, you can benefit from applying a moisturizer underneath your BB or CC to give your skin an added boost of hydration.  

How to Apply Foundation

Considering most women use foundation to cover up things like under-eye circles, pimples, uneven skin tone and other imperfections, the application needs to be a bit more precise. You can use your hands, however, you’ll get the most even coverage using a sponge or brush.

Sponges tend to be a bit more intuitive than brushes, and you’ll achieve a more airbrushed finish, while makeup artists swear by a brush for its ability to effortlessly blend and smooth product evenly.

Start by dabbing dots of foundation down the center of your face — forehead, nose, upper lip and chin — and blend your foundation outwards using your tool of choice. Be sure to pay extra attention to your hairline and chin as you want to blend those areas out the most for a seamless and invisible foundation line.

  • I manage a vape shop web directory and we have had a listing from a vape shop in the United States that additionally sells CBD products. A Month afterwards, PayPal has written to use to say that our account has been restricted and have requested us to get rid of PayPal as a payment solution from our vape store directory site. We do not offer CBD goods like CBD oil. We merely offer promotion and marketing solutions to CBD firms. I have had a look at Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Well known Health Retail store and if you take a good look, you will see that they offer a somewhat comprehensive range of CBD products, particularly CBD oil and they also happen to accept PayPal as a settlement method. It emerges that PayPal is administering twos sets of rules to many different companies. Because of this stipulation, I can no longer accept PayPal on my CBD-related web site. This has restrained my payment choices and right now, I am heavily contingent on Cryptocurrency payments and direct bank transfers. I have sought advice from a solicitor from a Magic Circle law practice in London and they stated that what PayPal is undertaking is absolutely unlawful and discriminatory as it should be applying a consistent benchmark to all firms. I am still to talk with one more attorney from a US law practice in London to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the USA. Meanwhile, I would be very appreciative if anyone here at targetdomain could offer me with alternative payment processors/merchants that deal with CBD firms.
