Hi.

What is the difference between a bb cream & a cc cream?
And what are they for? Like for what? (Area, purpose, when to apply it)

Thanks loves :***.

BB cream is a beauty balm and cc cream is a color corrector or color controler. BB cream just moisturises and covers more than the cc cream does. which is why BB cream is more popular. hope this helped (:

So "BB” stands for “beauty balm" while "CC" stands for "color correcting". BB creams serve as a non-brightening primer, light foundation, moisturizer and sunscreen in one, with built in anti-aging properties. CC cream, on the other hand, contains a skin brightening primer, light foundation, moisturizer, sunscreen, anti-aging ingredients and sometimes collagen boosters. I look at BB creams as being a bit heavier and more for blurring imperfections, while CC creams are more for correcting uneven skintone. I got my info from http://www.dailymakeover.com/positively-beautiful/bb-cream-vs-cc-cream-what's-the-difference/ btw! :) hope this helped xx

Would you say young people could use cc cream or only older ones?
