With that said, what exactly is BB Cream? Well, it's basically an all in one product that is MOISTURIZER, SUN SCREEN, MAKE UP BASE, FOUNDATION, AND DAMAGE CARE CREAM. Sounds too good to be true right? Well, it's not. I really thought that BB Cream is just a fancy name for tinted moisturizer/sun screen. But it turned out to provide much more coverage. The best thing is that the coverage is SUPER natural, it makes me look like I have no makeup on, just naturally beautiful skin. The second best thing is that the texture is light but pretty much sweat proof. The tip is to apply it by tapping it onto your face in an upward motion with minimal amounts and then repeat on areas you need more coverage.
So where and which one to get? I went to Takashima Ya in San Gabriel and tried all of their BB Cream samples and found this one that I liked,
NANOCE BB MOIST CREAM

I bought the Natural Ocher color. This is a Japanese made one.
Here's a good Korean brand BB Cream

Lancome's UV EXPERT BB BASE

This is what I REALLY want. I am still waiting for my cousin to bring it in May.
So, this is my new secret to "FAKE" perfect skin in 2 min. Now you know.

thanks for the tips ann! do you think that if we use BB, we don't need to put a separate sunscreen? i know that it has SPF protection but not sure if it's enough.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the BB you choose. If you are comfortable with the SPF and PA protection it offers, then it's fine alone. Personally, I think unless you are going to the beach, anything over SPF 25, PA++ is good enough for everyday protection.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing, LAYERING sunscreen is NOT going to give you more protection; you only get the benefit of the higher SPF, not the combination. For example, if you put a SPF 30 BB over your SPF20 sunscreen, you will not get SPF 50 protection, just the SPF 30.
Cool Ann!!! I really like the video!!
