The Difference Between BB, CC, and DD Creams - Part 4 of 4


FOUNDATION:

So if BB and CC creams provide some decent coverage and even skincare benefits, is this the end of traditional foundation as we know it? I don’t think so. Traditional foundations can be custom mixed, and this highlights probably the most important difference between all these BB, CC, DD creams, and tinted moisturizers usually come in only a few shades. Foundations come in dozens of shades, ensuring a more exact skin match. Personally, these creams are kind of like a shampoo and conditioner all-in-one, it does not give the exact finish you want. Some makeup artists like to use some BB and CC creams as primers, then put on the foundation.

BB, CC, and DD creams can be convenient products for people looking for the all-in-one sun protection, hydration, and complexion camouflage, but the reality is that there is nothing particularly revolutionary or special about them. Most Western-style BB creams are tinted moisturizers, and most CC creams are lightweight foundations dressed up with a new name. The best BB and CC creams do add some impressive beneficial ingredients, but that certainly is not the case for all regardless of their labeling.

While there are a lot of options out there for skin coverage, don’t fall for the marketing, but try them out and read reviews before you buy them. They are worth checking out, but remember to look at them with a critical eye and not be seduced by those tempting claims.

Today, when you look around, you will see the unique things people are doing to help promote awareness of this disease and the efforts to find a cure. You cannot help be touched by all the different ways professional athletes and coaches are showing their support. From pink shoes, pink sweatbands, and pink ribbon stickers on helmets, it is great to see then all get involved.
