BB Cream vs Tinted Moisturizer
So, what's the difference between BB creams and tinted moisturizers anyway? And how do you know which one is right for you? The answer depends on what you're using them for!
What's The Difference?
BB Creams are a one-stop-shop with a little bit of everything all mixed in. They usually contain SPF, anti-aging ingredients, primer, and also act as a foundation with light to medium coverage ☀️. BB creams are perfect for the days you still want a full makeup look but might not have the time to do your entire routine.
Tinted moisturizers on the other hand, are mainly focused on hydration with the addition of minimal coverage and sometimes SPF. They are great for light coverage and can be worn on their own or under your foundation, while BB creams usually stand alone.
When To Use Tinted Moisturizer :
We love tinted moisturizers because not only are they lightweight and ultra-hydrating, they also give you radiant sheer coverage. Tinted moisturizers are perfect for days you don't want to wear a full face of makeup but still want to put your best face forward!
