What is BB cream used for? When should BB cream be used?

Nowadays, many people like to use BB cream when applying makeup. What is the function of BB cream? At which step of makeup is BB cream used?

It can cover blemishes, adjust skin tone, control oil, and cover pores. If your skin pores are large or your skin is very rough, you can try to cover them with BB cream. BB cream is a cosmetic product, and BB is the abbreviation of BlemishBalm. You should choose a BB cream that suits your skin tone. If it is too light or too dark than your skin tone, it will not look so natural.

Before using BB cream, you must do the most basic skin care. First, cleanse your face with cleanser, and then apply toner, lotion, essence and other skin care products. Apply BB cream when the skin is in a very tender state to avoid the phenomenon of powder sticking on the skin.

BB cream has the function of concealing blemishes, but this does not mean that it can be mixed with liquid foundation. This will increase the burden on the skin. Moreover, mixing BB cream and liquid foundation will affect the effect of makeup. Now natural and light nude makeup is the most popular makeup.

After using BB cream, if you want your makeup to last longer, you can use pressed powder or loose powder to set your makeup, which can keep your makeup all day long. However, if you have oily skin and your makeup comes off, you still need to touch up your makeup at any time.

When using BB cream, it will be more effective if used with sunscreen, which can not only help the skin cover blemishes but also prevent the skin from sunburn.

After using BB cream, you must remove makeup, because BB cream belongs to the makeup foundation product, so you must remove makeup. You can use makeup remover and then cleanse your face with facial cleanser.

Basic care. First of all, you need to do the most basic care. Wash your face with facial cleanser, then apply moisturizing water, and then apply lotion. Someone asked, doesn't BB cream itself have the effect of maintaining the skin? Yes, but the main function of BB cream is to cover blemishes, and skin care is only secondary. If you use BB cream without moisturizing, it will damage the skin. So you must do basic skin care before using it.

The amount of BB cream to use. The more the amount, the better the effect. Too much BB cream will make your face look thick and unnatural. The appropriate amount should be the size of a soybean. Squeeze it on the back of your hand and apply it on your face. Try to choose a place with strong light to apply makeup, otherwise it is easy to apply unevenly and affect the appearance.

How to apply: After squeezing out a soybean-sized amount on the back of your hand, use the ring finger of your other hand to apply it on your chin, nose, and forehead. Apply evenly from the inside out. This method is the same as applying lotion as usual.

Application area. Pay special attention to the sides of the neck and forehead. First, apply several small dots of BB cream on both sides of the nose, and then spread it evenly, slowly and gently with your fingers to allow the BB cream to fully enter the skin and fill our shortcomings, such as blackheads, acne, etc.

Partial reinforcement. After applying a layer of BB cream evenly, observe the skin condition through the mirror. For some areas that need to be covered, such as acne and pimples, you can apply BB cream again. Note that it must be applied evenly and naturally.

Setting with powder. The purpose of setting with powder is to make the makeup last longer. We use a large loose brush, dip it in powder and lightly sweep it over the whole face, and then focus on the oily parts of the face, such as the wings of the nose and the forehead.

Avoid using foundation when using BB cream. BB cream itself also has the function of foundation. If you apply BB cream after applying foundation, the skin will be overwhelmed and unable to breathe. Over time, it is easy to damage the skin, such as clogging pores. Therefore, after completing basic facial care, you can directly use BB cream!

1. Different textures. The texture of liquid foundation is relatively light and thin, while the texture of BB cream is thicker than liquid foundation, and the makeup on the face is also thicker than liquid foundation.

2. Different concealing power. The concealing power of liquid foundation is not as good as that of BB cream, and BB cream can better cover facial blemishes.
