How to Mix BB Cream with Your Favorite Products

BB cream is excellent as a standalone product. With a dime-sized dollop, you can camouflage blemishes, brighten your skin's appearance, smooth your complexion, protect it from the sun, and achieve an even tone. What makes BB cream even more exciting is its versatility in combination with other products. Mixing it with other skincare products allows you to customize coverage levels or enhance your skin's appearance. Let's explore four popular BB cream combinations for achieving perfect-looking skin.

1. Foundation

Foundation is well-suited for times when you seek full coverage or during colder seasons when you need a more hydrating product. In the spring or summer, foundation can sometimes feel heavy, particularly when temperatures are high. If you want to lighten your foundation, mix it with BB cream to achieve a thinner, more breathable look. You will still get coverage, but it won't look cakey. Adding BB cream to foundation can also provide additional hydration and perfect your skin's appearance.

2. Highlighter

Mix highlighter with BB cream to achieve a glowing yet natural look for the evening. A little extra shimmer can make your skin appear more polished and can camouflage dullness. Just add a drop of highlighter to your BB cream to enhance your skin's natural brightness.

3. Firming Moisturizer

Many creams on the market can revitalize your skin and create a slightly lifted appearance. Mix one of these firming moisturizers with BB cream to gain coverage, skin care benefits, and the look of revitalized skin.

4. Cream Blush

Cream blush can sometimes apply too thickly or not blend well. Use a small amount of BB cream to thin the product and make it more spreadable for better application.
