As summer unfolds and temperatures increase, it's time to discard your full-coverage foundation to escape appearing like a melting ice cream scoop all season. However, let's be honest: who wants to go from one slumber party and beach lunch to the next with their faces all dug up? We have a fantastic answer. Try using a BB cream for nailing any look at any time!
Not only is BB cream suitable for your skin, but it generally contains anti-aging components, including antioxidants, and blemish-fighting chemicals. There has long been a heated discussion among beauty fanatics over whether BB creams can truly replace traditional foundation. Well, you'll receive your response only after you've tried both of them and determined which one works best for you.
For this reason, we've compiled a list of reasons why you should begin using a BB cream.
Advantages of BB Cream
BB creams are an excellent alternative for anyone looking for a foundation with added advantages. However, there are a few disadvantages to consider before purchasing a product:
Disadvantages of BB Cream
- They can lighten the skin: Certain BB creams lighten the skin; therefore, customers should study the package to understand what the product does before buying it. When you use the wrong product, your skin might become pale and ashen.
- The SPF protection is woefully insufficient: The SPF coverage may be insufficient. Many claim that while BB creams provide SPF protection, they also offer a false sense of security. This implies that consumers who seek a BB cream's light, barely-there coverage are less likely to use enough of it to receive the SPF protection listed on the package.
- For dry skin, the moisturizing benefit may not be sufficient: Users with dry skin may believe that the moisturizing benefits of a BB cream would suitably hydrate their skin, however an extra moisturizer may be required.
During these summer months, the risk of looking cakey is very high. Here is how you can change the makeup base to look easy, breezy, & awesome!
How to use BB Cream instead of foundation?
- Begin by washing your face. Following that, apply your skincare products.
- After using your regular skincare, use a primer, such as Coloressence Premium Primer Gel, to fade out your pores, fine wrinkles, and dark spots. Don't forget to get it all around your eyes. This is a critical step to take, regardless of the season.
- Then, apply COLORESSENCE True Tone BB Cream all over your face. Using your fingers or a sponge, blend it thoroughly. If you use a brush, be vigilant since it may leave streaks on your face.
- After using the BB cream, use a lightweight concealer, such as COLORESSENCE HD pan stick, to cover up any areas that need extra coverage. That should fit, and you're ready to go.
- Last but not least, use setting powder to your entire face to keep your foundation makeup in place.
Don't be shocked if this becomes your go-to during the warmer seasons! So, preserve the foundation for the colder seasons and relish the BB cream already!
