I have seen in YouTube videos that bb cream is all in one product like it can be used as a foundation primer and allll but still people buy foundation primer?? What's the difference.

BB cream is not foundation, it has primer mixed into it so you don't need primer when using bb.
When using straight up foundation then a foundation primer is needed to make it last longer.
I'm not sure if I answered your question hahaha

Well there almost the same. BB cream is less coverage then liquid foundation. People use it when they don't want to use makeup and foundation just helps you cover up and shines your skin I actually use liquid foundation. I think that's the difference lol🙈

When using foundation, you have to use primer and then foundation and then powder and it could feel a little heavier so they made BB cream (which is a mix of primer and tinted moisturiser) to be lighter than using all the things above :)

Just think of being sort of a tinted moisterisor...it has little coverage so if you don't want to wear foundation but still want to have some coverage use a bb cream...hope that helps.

💗Kandee...Bb creams are like those 2in1 shampoo and conditioner. Ones going to clean ok and ones going to condition ok but they're not going to work as well as having one shampoo and one conditioner that actually concentrates on the specific problem. That's probably why people wear an additional primer. Hope that helped

Bb Cream was originally manufactured as an alternative to foundation in Germany for people who had undergone laser treatments or anything that would make their face sensitive.
Asia adopted them because Asia loves skincare. The West adopted them after that because that's what we do :)
Western BB Creams are basically tinted moisturizers, with sheer coverage and little to no skincare benefits. Asian BB Creams have higher coverage and a large focus on skin care such as whitening and oil control.
Hope this helps!
