Should I Choose a BB Cream or a Foundation?
BB Cream stands for Beauty Balm, Blemish Cream or Blemish Base.
It’s a powerhouse product, offering multiple benefits combined in the one product. Here are some reasons why you may choose a BB cream over a traditional foundation:
Skincare Benefits: BB creams are packed with nourishing ingredients that protect, hydrate and treat your skin, while simultaneously providing coverage. Melvory’s BB cream includes skin-loving ingredients that help to improve your skin over time. (Read below for the new hero ingredients that we’ve included to make it work even harder for you!)
Lightweight Feel: BB creams typically have a lighter texture than foundations, offering a breathable feel. This makes it ideal for daily wear, or for hot summer days where a full face of makeup feels too heavy.
Natural Flawless Finish: BB creams offer a natural, dewy glow! It evens out the skin without looking too heavy, and provides a smooth finish that’s perfect for that fresh, off-duty, everyday look.
SPF Protection: Many BB creams (including Melvory’s very own!) comes with built-in sun protection that helps shield your skin from harmful UV rays. It’s an easy way to incorporate extra sun protection into your routine without the use of additional SPF products.
How to Apply BB Cream for the Best Results
To achieve a flawless finish with Melvory’s BB cream, here are our recommended application tips!
Use the right tool. We recommend using the kabuki brush for an airbrushed, even application. The bristles help to blend the BB Cream seamlessly into your skin or smooth coverage. Alternatively, a blending sponge can also be used, but be sure to clean it thoroughly before each use.
Prep Your Skin. For best results, apply a hydrating primer or moisturiser before your BB Cream. This creates a smooth base for the BB Cream to glide on more easily.
How to Apply. Start by applying a small amount of BB cream to the centre of your face and blend outwards. Use gentle, circular motions with your kabuki brush or sponge to ensure even coverage and a natural finish. For areas that need extra coverage (like blemishes or redness), build up the coverage with light layers.
Buildable Coverage : Melvory’s BB Cream is buildable, so you can layer it to customise your coverage. Apply a thin layer for a light, natural look, or build up in areas that need more coverage, such as blemishes or discolouration.
Don’t Forget the Neck : Make sure to blend your BB Cream down to your neck to avoid any harsh lines, especially when you’re wearing a more full-coverage application.
Friendly Reminder: Keep Your Tools Clean for the Best Application
It’s important to keep your make-up tools clean.
We recommend washing your brushes and sponges once a week to ensure that you're applying products with clean tools. Dirty tools can cause bacteria buildup and lead to breakouts or uneven application.
