CC CREAM VS BB CREAM
Hola hola people!
Do you know what's the difference between CC Cream and BB Cream? No?
Okay, let me share with you something.
BB Cream:
BB Cream is a short for "Beauty Balm" or "Blemish Balm". It is makeup formulated with skin care benefits which can range from sun protection to hydration to shine control. Depending on the BB creams formula you use. BB creams are available for all different skin types including oily skin and dry skin.
BB Creams generally offer sheerer coverage than foundation which basically a great option when you want a little bit of coverage without looking overdone.
Wait. You might confused with tinted moisturizer, did you?
Tinted moisturizers are literally moisturizers that offer a tiny hint of coverage but BB creams go beyond that by offering skin care benefits!
Please bare in mind that BB creams are not meant to provide lots of coverage as a foundation would which is to cover imperfections. It is a skin-first product which meant to hydrate, illuminate, mattify, or achieve whatever other skin care goal you may have.
If after applying BB cream but you still feel the need for a little more coverage, you can layer it with concealer.
CC Cream:
CC Cream usually stands for "Colour Correcting" cream or "Complexion Corrector" cream. It provides a little more coverage to disguise imperfections like dark spots or redness. They tend to have thicker and heavier formulas. CC cream is often formulated for aging skin that may need more coverage to help smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Since now you know what's the difference, so let me share with you some of the brands that offer BB creams and CC creams.
