Both BB and CC creams come in handy when you are aiming for minimal makeup or want to cut down on the products in your beauty routine. They both are essentially the same with small variations.
BB is short for blemish balm or beauty balm. It first became popular in Korea before it took over the globe as a fever. It offers you a wide number of skincare benefits ranging from hydration to sun protection and shine control. The best BB creams come with a variety of formulas for different skin types, even for dry skin and oily skin.
On the other hand, CC cream is short for complexion corrector cream or colour correcting cream. They also serve different purposes, such as providing sheer coverage to cover up marks.
CC creams are heavier and thicker than BB cream and are ideal for ageing skin that needs coverage for the smooth appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It takes care of your coverage and colour-correcting needs by neutralising the look of imperfections. Some CC creams can also brighten up the appearance of your skin and offer protection from the sun.

Tips To Use BB Cream
BB cream is best to be applied with makeup blenders instead of fingers. Makeup blenders provide a more hygienic and seamless finish. Simply put a small amount of BB cream onto the blender and blend it onto your skin. If you want to use your fingers to apply the cream, wash your hands thoroughly beforehand.
Carry the BB cream down to your neck, bouncing and blending it with the makeup brush to avoid harsh lines. This is important to make sure you don’t end up with a neck and face of two different colours.
Keep the rest of your makeup subdued as well to get the best results with BB creams.
Begin with working your skincare routine.
Cleanse and moisturise your skin first.
You can use a makeup brush or your fingers to apply CC cream.
Blending is important if you want to achieve a seamless finish.
Smooth the cream onto your face in circular motions and build according to your need for coverage.
Foundation Vs. BB & CC Creams
If you are wondering whether you can swap out your best foundations for one of these creams. The answer depends on your skin tone, type of your skin, and the look you are aiming for.
For dry skin that is uneven in texture or tone, the foundation will be a better option than BB or CC cream as it offers more coverage. However, if you have good skin and want to rock with the no-makeup makeup look, go for a BB or CC cream.
One of the best benefits of the base is that it is available in a wide variety of shades as compared to BB and CC creams. Most of the BB and CC creams come in only three to four hues that work for a range of skin tones.
So, the foundation will give more shade options if you have trouble finding the right shade for your skin tone.
What to Look for in a BB Cream?
Skin Types
The best BB cream for you is the one that is suitable for your skin type. So, first figure out which skin type you have. For dry skin, pick a BB cream with a moisturising formula that hydrates your skin as well.
If you have oily skin, reach for the mattifying formula and has an oil-free formula.
For sensitive skin that is prone to acne, opt for an oil-free formula that can cover the marks and doesn’t clog pores. Also, look for the words “paraben free” on the label.
SPF Properties
Pick a BB cream with the SPF properties if you are going out in the sun. SPF properties in BB creams protect you from harmful UV rays and prevent premature ageing. Those who have fairer skin complexion should choose a BB cream with higher SPF number. For Pakistani summer, anything over SPF 30 is a good choice.
Your Skin Shade
BB creams that are the closest to your skin skin shade give you a natural look. If the shade is different from your skin on neck and face, it will not fit well. So, pick the BB cream that matches your natural skin colour and skin type.
Your Age
Your age is another factor to consider while making a purchase. There are BB cream that come with anti-ageing agents, so if you are over 40s, pick the product that has anti-ageing agents and a higher amount of coverage.
These BB creams also help in reducing your wrinkles and make you look younger. If you are below 40s, choose the one that gives you a a dewy and glowy finish.
Benefits of a BB Cream
A BB cream can give you a complete beauty makeover. It is an all-in-one product for your skin giving you benefits of two to three different products. It not only saves time but also your money. Here are some reasons why you should use a BB cream as your base.
All-In-One Treatments
BB cream is a cosmetic as well as a skin care product. One application of BB cream gives the benefits of several products. They have the qualities of a tinted moisturizer, an anti-aging moisturizer and sunscreen.
They have a blend of beneficial ingredients such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, skin plumping hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and vitamins. This allows you to cut down on products and ingredients you apply on to the skin which will save you time and money.
Natural Look
BB creams provide natural and dewy coverage. It is never cakey or heavy. Also, you can easily apply BB cream using your fingers which allows the product to melt into your skin giving you a fuss-free makeup application.
If you need more coverage, BB creams are the best options as they are light enough to go under a layer of regular foundation.
Covers Marks and Blemishes
If you are someone with acne-prone skin and need to conceal marks, a BB cream can benefit you here too. They often contain soothing minerals that are beneficial for treating blemishes.
There are BB creams with silky texture and shorter ingredient list that allow your skin to breathe underneath.
Generally, a BB cream contain up to 40 ingredients which is still better than more 70 ingredients that a separate foundation, moisturizer and sunscreen can contain.
