When To Use Foundation, BB Cream Or CC Cream “We carefully crafted this formula to be appealing to all ethnicities and skin tones so you’ve got great color-correcting technology built into every shade in the lineup from very fair to deep,” says Wong. She says that Clinique, for example, specifically chose optic skin care technology for their CC cream that addresses a broad range of skin care concerns including hyperpigmentation, dullness, sallowness, ashiness and even correcting and neutralizing skin that’s too red or yellow. “Generally I would say that CC creams have more skin-care related properties … So you’re getting some great color benefits but you’re also getting some great skin-care goodies and benefits as well.” If you like tinted moisturizers, CCs are good to check out. So while many BB creams give more matte, full-coverage, CC creams gives more of a luminous, natural glow without looking as if you’re trying very hard. “People who want a CC cream want a more natural, radiant, sheer, moderate-coverage formula that gives you color correction,” says Wong. “If you’re doing a 10-hour drive in the sun, I would certainly not advocate not using sunscreen,” says Wong. ![]() Wong cautions that, although the idea is that these products do it all, generally BB and CC creams aren’t a replacement for hardcore serums nor should you rely on them as your only product during a high-sun outing. “Typically, a good rule of thumb, is that BBs tend to have much fuller coverage,” says Wong adding that BBs also are often more matte and lend themselves to that really perfected, done, made-up look as seen on many K-Pop stars.

But in reality, although these products vary depending on the brand, they serve separate functions. “There are so many people out there making general statements about BB and CC creams that many consumers are viewing CCs as simply the next generation of hybrid products - a BB Cream replacement and upgrade,” says Wong.
