Differences Between Tinted Moisturizer and BB Cream

BB cream furor started in Korea with many actresses vouching for these, then they started to spread out in Asia and worldwide..Remember we used to love tinted moisturizers before we switched to BB creams? Well most of us are confused at the moment whether to pick a tinted moisturizer or a bright benefit creams..take a look at the differences between them to know what is best for you 🙂

difference between tinted moisturiser and bb cream

 BB cream is a base for your skin with added benefits such as sunscreen, moisturizing, anti-aging, whitening/brightening, oil control and evening out skin out/reducing hyper-pigmentation. This is your all in one makeup, with good coverage, to start with. BB stands for blemish balm and now we have seen beauty balm and bright benefit creams too.(even beauty boosting balm)

On the other hand, tinted moisturiser is like your skin lotion with your foundation color, i remember back in Shimla, a lady used to wear a drop of moisturiser with her foundation to office, so there, you have your tinted moisturiser, it does not come with those added benefits mentioned above for bb creams, and the coverage is lesser than BB creams as well.

When looking for a BB cream for you, you might have to explore brands that cater to your skin type, though these barely comes with many shades, these might pose trouble for shade match and skin type. Also look for BB cream with good SPF and anti ageing properties.Look for a bb that does not melt soon, fade away or oxidize soon.

Tinted moisturizer will be thinner like a foundation unlike the creamy BB creams.You will get many more shades to choose from unlike a BB cream. Tinted moisturisers rarely come  anti ageing properties or any corrective properties like whitening and brightening. But these feel lighter to wear and in coverage unlike BB creams. These fade sooner and wear time is shorter,and have a low SPF.

Hope I was able to  help you choose between a tinted moisturiser and a BB cream according to your need, for me BB creams are too oily, so talking from experience, dry skin would love the sheen BB creams give from the ones we have here in India. Tinted moisturiser are more of my cup of tea because I can adjust and choose for a matte one for my oily skin, but again, a pressed powder comes handy in setting anything you like on your face.
