I recently got a job and I wanted to start wearing makeup for when I work. I have acne prone skin and was wondering if I should get a bb cream or just normal foundation. Any suggestions!! I just want a lite coverage on my face. 😀

I'd say BB cream because it shortens your getting ready time for more sleep! and if you want a light coverage or medium it's perfect. I just bought Aveeno BB cream which is made for acne prone skin and I love it so far. Give it a try.

It depends what coverage, what type of skin you have and the BB cream...
I got a few BB creams and they are not really that great, I like the L'oreal magic something BB cream is okay, but the real deal is the asian BB creams :-)
I will stick with my foundation though.

Bb cream, but tinted moisturizer are also good.

BBcreams are great for a light and natural coverage. They're great especially if you are working because they give you decent coverage without being too heavy. You barely feel it! if you have acne prone skin make sure to get a BBcream that is high or good in quality, check the formula for any possible skin irritants. For me, drugstore BBcream such as Garnier's tend to make my face more oily, so when you are using a BBcream it's very important to set it with a translucent or regular face powder to make it last all day. A tip from me is that use a small concealer stick to dab and blend in on any uneven areas (such as under eye circles, acne scars) followed by a layer of BBcream, then set it all off with a nice powder with your brush (: I use SmashBox's Camera Ready BBcream by the way! But you can go online and check out reviews and descriptions of BBcreams and see which ones you prefer more <3

Hope I helped! <3 Anh @ (youtube.com/stantonfashionclub)

Well the Asian brands for the BB creams has small amounts of bleaching ingredients. This is what a Chinese classmate told me when she told me to look into it as an foundation alt. She said it's great to get rid of some hyper pigmentation and to even/brighten skin, but using it everyday will lighten your skin.
