A BB vs CC Cream? The Down Low

What is a BB Cream VS a CC Cream? 

The 411:

• BBs treat vs CCs color correct.
• BB stands for Beauty Balm and has a concentrated tint much like a foundation.
• CC stands for Color Correct and is lighter in texture than BB cream.
• Both BB and CC creams are a skincare makeup that primes, hydrates, protects and corrects.
