How to apply BB cream? Do you need to apply powder after BB cream ?

I am surprise, people ask me these 2 questions all the time.
Well you could goggle the answer & almost every site will tell you Yes & No.

Rule of the thumb, for dry skin you do not need to apply powder after ,as you might get the caked effect. But if you have oily skin, just pad a little at the right places.

I use this :))
 Whether you’re wearing BB under foundation or on its own, the application technique should still be the same. Start with a little & build it up from there. You don't want the caked effect. Apply a small amount to the face using a gentle patting motion. This allows you to blend the cream into the skin for even coverage. Apply a thin layer and wait a few seconds for it to absorb into the skin, then add another layer if necessary.

If you are using BB cream as a base then the next step is to apply foundation. This should be applied in the same way – but remember you already have some coverage from the cream so you only need a little more foundation that's all. For a more lasting hold, you may apply powder at the final stage. This will reduce the shiny effect of BB cream and fix it in place.

I do suggest you, go experiment with a few brands. You'll find one that suits you & stick to it :)
