About this deal

For this story, we also interviewed two experts to gather more insights about what to keep in mind when buying a BB Cream. Those experts are: Members of the oily skin gang will be delighted to discover this beauty balm that specifically targets shine and oil control. Mattifying the skin is the main aim of this BB cream and the water-based formula works all day to keep skin shine-free. It can be applied using just the fingertips or blended in with a sponge for those who don’t like to get their hands dirty.

Personal preferences aside, BB creams are a great skincare/makeup hybrid product. They're perfect if you're after the coverage minus the cakey feel. Plus, since most of them feature skin-loving ingredients such as vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, your face will be protected and hydrated all day long.Light-reflective mineral pigments scatter light, reducing the appearance of imperfections and giving skin a soft, glowing effect. While foundation will always have its place in our makeup bag, we just can’t go past the light, easy coverage that a BB cream affords. BB creams—short for beauty or blemish balms—are a hybrid between foundation and skincare. The idea is that they’re easy to apply and even out the skin tone while simultaneously improving its appearance. “BB creams are like a skin tint that provide fresh, healthy-looking coverage without the heaviness of a traditional foundation,” explains makeup artist and beauty expert Michael Brown.

More recently, my heart's been set on the newly launched Dr. Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm. Seriously, this might just be my top beauty find in 2023 and is definitely something that I'll reach for in the coming summer months. Why? Long story short, it's the perfect combination of everything I want from a lightweight complexion makeup product: it feels like skincare, yet provides just enough coverage to cover my redness with an added SPF50 protection as a bonus. The way its unique colour-changing formula adapts to your skin tone is very impressive, too.Cahill says a BB cream is a beauty balm hybrid between skincare, primer, foundation, and/or SPF, whose goal is to lightly even out skin tone, treat, and protect. In contrast, a CC cream or color/complexion corrector is designed to correct uneven skin tone and add coverage while protecting your skin. BB creams, especially those formulated for dry skin, contain hydrating ingredients that moisturize and nourish, preventing flakiness and dry patches.

But after her skin decided to erupt in unexplained breakouts she knew a change was needed. After discussing the situation with fellow makeup artists and testing out the offerings, she discovered BB Cream provided the perfect solution to give her skin a much needed break from heavy foundations without leaving her completely bare faced. But fear not, full coverage lovers, because BB creams do come in various formulations, some of which will deliver just as much coverage as any good ol' foundation. Of course, there's also options with buildable and lightweight coverage that will give you that “your-skin-but-better” finish.

BB creams are ideal for creating a more natural-looking base or for those days when you don't feel like wearing a full face of makeup. They're made to provide you with just enough coverage to even out your skin tone, but not so much they mask your skin entirely. And the best part is that thanks to nourishing skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, they'll keep your face hydrated throughout the day, making it look glowy and feel extra fresh for longer. A BB cream, short for "Blemish Balm" or "Beauty Balm", provides light to medium coverage with added skincare benefits, often including hydration, SPF, and antioxidants. It's a hybrid between makeup and skincare, whereas a foundation primarily focuses on skin coverage. While a dewy finish provides a radiant glow ideal for normal to dry skin types, those with oily skin may prefer a matte finish to reduce the appearance of shine.If they aren't already, BB creams should be on your must-have list, especially if you happen to love the TikTok-approved “no makeup makeup” look (AKA the “clean girl aesthetic”). In fact, I'll take a wild guess and assume that your very first complexion product was probably a BB cream (I know mine was). And guess what? Ten years after my teenage self tried it for the very first time, I became a beauty journalist and I'm still not ready to move on. I have reviewed some of the best foundations, skin tints and tinted moisturisers on the market, but it's safe to say that BB creams hold a special place in my heart.
