Talk to me about TMs and BBs...
Re: Talk to me about TMs and BBs...
I wear TM under powder. Otherwise, it has poor staying power and makes me shiny.
I just bought BB so I can't opine now. But I'll let you know once I get it in! I plan on wearing it under powder, too.
So should I look at them as like a super awesome alternative to concealer? I don't really wear concealer...
And BB is spot cover up, right? And a TM all over the face?
No. They're both foundation alternatives.
Updated September 2012.
BB cream is for all over your face. I wear it instead of foundation. I set it with Tarte powder (at least the Garnier I do, the Smashbox didn't make me shiny).
I can't get as good of coverage with TM as I do with BB cream. BB cream looks a lot more natural than foundation. It's like it becomes part of my skin.
Like others said, a BB is a foundation alternative. It's really pretty similar to a tinted moisturizer, but the way it goes on is a little different than any TM I've used.
I look at a BB as a foundation alternative that has skin healthy ingredients that are hard to find in makeup products. When I decided to try one, I wasn't looking for a miracle makeup product that is amazingly different from foundation or TM. As purely a makeup product, it's a little different than foundation or TM. However, it's not just makeup, it is also skincare. The BB I use has spf 30, is full of antioxidants, and has caffeine to lessen any skin irritation. A lot of Asian BB's have skin whiteners, as pale skin is sought after in Asia.

I have combination skin (t-zone) and I feel like adding powder to my face makes it even more oily- maybe I am not using the right powder?
Interesting. IDK, I've always used a pressed powder and touch up about once a day to control shine. I've used Cover Girl for years, but I also like Clinique pressed powder.
