Asian bb crane are vastly different from TMs, but western BB creams, not so much.

I've never tried an Asian bb cream but the American ones are just glorified tinted moisturizers.

I find that sometimes BBs have slightly more coverage, but they are extremely close.

It depends on if you're wearing a Bb cream created by a make up brand or a skincare brand.
In my experience, the ones created by Skincare brands are more true to the point and offer discoloration repair and wrinkle resistance.
The ones made by make up companies are mostly tinted moisturizers with a higher SPF.
