The Hot New BB Cream? A CC Cream!
The hot new BB Cream is a CC Cream!
Beauty Balms (aka BB Creams) have enjoyed their time in the spotlight thanks to multiple benefits of an all-in-one moisturizer, primer, sun protection and a light foundation. Color Correctors (aka CC Creams) are the latest take on this craze. Similar to the BB Cream they do all of the above but also address specific complexion concerns like dullness or discoloration while adding a bit more coverage. Both are lighter than your traditional foundation.
Your skin type, desired coverage and even the weather (dry vs. humid conditions) will all influence your preference.
BB & CC Beauty Tips:
- Apply sunscreen before your BB or CC Cream to ensure you’re getting adequate sun protection.
- Blend with your usual foundation when looking for more coverage.
- If skin is oily, use it as a primer to help set your makeup. If skin is dry, mix in a little moisturizer for extra hydration.
