I'd never heard of BB Cream before, but my mom mentioned it to me yesterday. In her words, she applies a light layer to her face; it goes on a bit dark but lightens as it dries. Then, she applies a very thin layer of her normal Bare Escentuals mineral foundation on top, and she's done. She said that it does a GREAT job of covering up blemishes, and after using the BB cream for a few weeks, her skin is less inflamed and her large pores are noticeably smaller (even I could see a difference.) She uses an inexpensive Garnier BB cream.
She's piqued my interest for sure.
Have any of you used it? What has your experience been like?
If, like me, you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's some background information.
From WIkipedia: "BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm, Blemish Base or Beblesh Balm (due to an apparent copyright on the word "Blemish"[1]), is a cosmetic item sold mainly in East and Southeast Asia, although larger beauty brands are increasingly introducing BB creams to Western markets as well. Originally formulated in Germany by dermatologist Dr. Christine Schrammek in the 1950s, the cream was initially used to protect skin after laser procedures and surgery, while also providing light coverage. Introduced to South Korea and Japan in the 1980s,BB cream has been named "the secret of Korean actresses" and has been heavily endorsed by Korean celebrities, which gained it large exposure in these Asian markets."
