How to use bb cream and powder

BB cream can mainly achieve the effect of brightening skin tone and concealing blemishes. BB cream is usually delicate and easy to apply. Some people are curious about the steps to use BB cream. There is a certain order in which makeup should be applied. Generally, pressed powder is used last, which can be used to set makeup and also to touch up makeup. There is a difference between bb cream and pressed powder. Pressed powder can be used whether it is wet, but bb cream is relatively moist, or it is watery and smooth.

After applying BB cream, you need to apply powder.

The main functions of BB cream are to conceal blemishes, adjust skin tone, protect against the sun, and refine pores. However, if you use BB cream alone, it is difficult to maintain these effects for a long time. Pressed powder is like a protective film that protects the perfect makeup, keeps it from being affected by the external environment, and allows it to remain delicate for a long time.

The benefits of applying powder

Makeup

One of the biggest benefits of applying powder after applying BB cream is that it sets the makeup and makes it last longer. Studies have shown that makeup applied with powder will last 5-6 hours longer than makeup without powder. Especially in the hot summer, sweat can easily take away the makeup on the face, and powder can effectively delay the time of makeup coming off.

Whitening and concealing

Some powder cakes also have the function of whitening and concealing blemishes, which can help modify skin tone and make makeup more delicate and perfect. When you find that your face makeup is a little off when you are outdoors, it would be inconvenient to apply BB cream. Directly applying powder cake also has the effect of BB cream and is more convenient to use.

Oil Control

After applying BB cream, the face will appear shiny and the makeup will look a little unnatural. After gently pressing the face with a powder puff, the makeup will immediately turn into a matte state, looking more silky and light. This is because the powder puff also has the function of controlling oil. People who often need to face the computer and have oily faces can also use powder puff to control oil on their faces.

How to apply bb cream and powder

BB Cream

1. After cleaning your face, follow normal skin care steps, such as lotion, lotion, and cream, to keep your skin hydrated.

2. Take a 1-yuan coin-sized amount of BB cream and apply it on the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin. You can apply it with your hands or a makeup sponge and brush. Be careful to apply it evenly to the entire face and don't apply it too thickly, otherwise your face will be too white.

3. In order to maintain consistent skin tone, it is recommended to apply it on the hairline and neck as well.

Pressed Powder

1. Use a sponge to apply a small amount of powder, and apply it on the cheeks and forehead first. Be sure to apply a small amount and you can apply it several times.

2. After applying on the cheeks and forehead, apply on the nose and surrounding areas of the face. Note that when applying, do not sweep the face with the sponge, but press gently.

3. When applying to the T-zone, use less powder, because the T-zone is the area with the most oil secretion and is prone to makeup removal. Applying too thickly may cause the makeup to rub into mud.

4. You can also use powder to apply on eyebrows and lips, which can set the makeup and conceal blemishes. If you apply BB cream on your neck, you also need to apply powder to set the makeup.

Will using BB cream and powder dry out your skin?

Using BB cream and powder will not dry out the skin.

The prerequisite is to do a good job of skin care. Toner, lotion, and facial cream are all indispensable. If necessary, you can also apply a hydrating mask before applying makeup. Only if the preliminary hydrating work is done well, the makeup will not dry. Otherwise, the skin will not only feel dry, but also peeling due to dryness. In addition, current BB creams and powder cakes are moisturizing types, so the chance of dry skin is very small.

Be careful to remove makeup after applying BB cream

Whether you are applying BB cream or pressed powder, you need to remove makeup. Both BB cream and pressed powder belong to the makeup series and need special makeup remover products to remove them cleanly. Using BB cream and pressed powder without removing makeup will cause clogged pores and make the skin rough and dark yellow.
