BB Cream Vs Foundation

A BB cream and foundation may certainly look alike, but they are much different from each other. Any person with a keen interest in makeup should know about these.

With the BB cream recently making it big in the market, many people seem unsure of its difference from a foundation cream. Yes, it’s true that both of them are used to cover imperfections, but that surely doesn’t make these two different things alike. Here are a few differences that will let you know the disparities much clearly, and would help you to use them properly.

1. Coverage Level is Different

The main difference between a foundation and a BB cream is the coverage level. A foundation, being much thicker, provides altogether a new garb for your skin, whereas a BB cream, being much lighter, allows for a casual coverage at the most.

2. Skincare Equipment

A BB cream is more like a daily treatment than anything else. It is tailor made to make your skin look instantly flawless in a natural way. However, a foundation is anything but natural. Besides, you can wear a BB cream anytime whereas a foundation is more or less limited to the evening parties.

3. Color Ranges Are Limited

In case of foundations, you can get one foundation matching for every skin tone alike. But such isn’t the case for BB creams. You have much limited color ranges for BB creams, and this hinders their acceptance to many people.

4. SPF Content

You can double your BB cream as a face sunscreen as BB creams generally come with higher SPF content. This feature is sadly not much noticed in foundations where the SPF content is generally nil to low.
