Foundation is 10 times better but it's really bad for your skin! X.

Depends on what you're going for! American bb creams (many are very similar to tinted moisturizers, rather than "true" bb creams) would be lighter coverage, more moisturizing, and would most likely not last as long as a traditional foundation. If you want more coverage I'd say foundation for sure. The only us bb cream I liked was ponds luminous bb cream, it had good coverage and was quite glowy(:

Bb cream for light minimal coverage and foundation for medium to full coverage it just depends on what you're looking for.

Bb cream- for a light coverge. most have some other perks like evening out skin tone, SPF and moisturizer in them. now you can use this by itself, with a powder, or use it as a primer.
foundation- medium to full coverage. gives a nice finish but is really bad for your skin and you're way more likely to breakout this way.
personally I would go for bb cream! what I do is apply that, some concealer on my blemishes, then powder to set it all! it really depends on what you wanna do though!

I like bb cream but personally its not for me because the coverage is so light! I prefer a light to medium coverage foundation (:

You could use bb cream very day and it isn't actually that bad for your skin. if you wear foundation ever day, that's quite bad. bb cream does give a light coverage which I prefer :)

BB cream is better for your skin but foundation covers better sometimes.

Emily couldn't have said it better, people don't seem to get that there to totally different products, two different purposes. I use bb cream them touch up with concealer.
