It is a tinted moistriser.. ;) if you have nice skin you can use it instead of foundation.. It gives coverage but is is not that thick as a foundation..

BB cream is a sheer coverage cream (/Tinted Moisturiser as Mony said). BB stands for Beauty/Blemish balm. Some are designed to actually reduce blemishes, rather than making them worse by stopping your skin from breathing. The problem with this is the coverage can only ever be sheer because anything thicker would not be healing spots. In my experience they don't heal spots, just don't make them worse like foundation does.
