Do It Yourself BB Cream!

BB cream seems to be a new makeup fad. I can understand why, it gives you shear coverage, its light weight and its perfect for a nice natural summer look. BB creams are an ideal alternative to those who dont like to wear full coverage foundation.

But wait!!! before you go rushing to the store to pick up the latest BB cream, what if I tell you that you have the ingredients to create your own BB cream at home already!!

Yup!! All you need is a facial moisturizer (preferably with SPF) and your shade of foundation.

 

The Facial moisturizer does not even have to be name brand, you can use a generic/store brand and get the same results...

 

1. On a clean surface ( or as I used an old clean CD. HA! yes a CD, but some use to that ancient thing  :D ) Pump out two squirts of your desired facial moisturizer and one pump of your foundation.

2. Using a spatula or a clean end of a make up brush, blend the two products together

3. VOILA!!! BB cream!!!!!

 

 

 

See, I just saved you that run to Ulta. You had BB cream the entire time! :)

 

Now, this post was not to bash any of the BB creams that are out there, because there are some pretty effective creams out there. I just wanted to share my alternative with you, because thats all that a BB cream is Tinted Moisturizer.

 

Its worth a try and hopefully I saved you a few bucks.
