BB Cream, CC Cream or Foundation?

products owned by codeofbeauty

Confused... ?
Don't know which one to use.. ?
I had this problem when BB cream was introduced. Back in those days, we were only using foundation (liquid, cream or compact). 
Nowadays, we have BB, CC and now up to DD cream. 
I have not tried DD cream yet, maybe I will soon. ^__^

I'm not going to explain in a great detail, because there are plenty of blogs out there explaining this already.
I'm touching base a little just for the completeness of my Cosmetic Bucket. ^__*

BB stands for Blemish Balm. It has thick texture to cover blemishes but not as thick as foundation. This is basically tinted moisturiser with some good stuffs added into it, such as aloe vera, rice bran, sunflower extract, SPF, etc etc. Different brands have different ingredients.

CC stands for colour correction or control. It covers redness or sallowness on your skin. It has light texture in nature.
For everyday use, I personally use CC cream for natural look, but sometimes I use BB cream especially when "my-time-of-the-month" is coming where my unwanted friends start to pop-out. I need to cover them from the world. ^__^

Foundation is the thickest amongst the three products & it gives full coverage makeup. I use foundation for special occasions only. 

Now... which brand? 
Unfortunately with BB & CC cream, you have to try several brands & types until you find the "one(s)" for you. Because not only both BB & CC creams only come in limited shades (even one colour fits all sometimes!)so it may be too light or too dark on you, but also, some comes with fragrance (you may be sensitive to fragrance) or it may be too thick or too heavy for you. 
I'm talking more from Korean BB & CC Creams perspective.

The best way to save money is to join army with your besties to buy different ones and swap them until each one of you find the most suitable one. *just an idea* ^__*

Happy hunting!
