How do you use BB cream

[Deleted]

Hi ladies, I need some advice. I jumped on the BB cream bandwagon. The instructions say to wear it when you will be exposed to sun. Does anybody wear it under daily makeup, or is it to be worn in place of makeup? TIA!

I've been wearing it in the place of foundation, like a tinted moisturizer. I'm going to try mixing it with foundation for the fall and winter.

Ditto GoDawgs -- I've been wearing it in place of foundation. I was going to switch back to regular foundation in the fall until I saw others' comments about mixing it, so I'm going to try that out. I don't see the problem with layering it either. I do wear blush/bronzer and other makeup with it now too.

I wear it as a tinted moisturizer too.

I use it like I would use a liquid foundation.

I just picked up some of the Maybelline BB cream, and am using it as a replacement for foundation at least right now with the warmer weather. I'm sick of my make up "melting" even with primer in the summer. This is my last weapon of defense! :-P

I have been wearing it as foundation for the summer, and then just lightly brush the bare escencuals Mineral Veil over it to reduce shine and to "set" it. I will have to see how this works as the weather changes but for summer it has been great!

I just bought some, and I wear it instead of foundation, concealer, and finishing powder. I love it. My skin is definitely not perfect, by any stretch of the imagination, and this stuff (I bought SKIN79 and Missha) is kinda miraculous in its coverage. It makes me look bright and youthful.

This is how I planned to use it since I'm also a BM user. I doubt I'll be able to trade in my concealer though - hereditary dark circles and acne scars. Can't wait to try it in the AM!!

Thanks for the advice ladies!

I also use it in place of foundation. I find that mine works better with a primer because I have oily skin.

I agree with this I bought the pink skin79 and it has great coverage, especially in hot Texas summers it has held up well. If I need completely coverage I mix it with my MUFE foundation and put a hd setting powder over it.
