BB CREAMS, LIPS, EYEBROW AND MORE...

BB CREAMS

Popular BB Creams

BB Creams created a buzz in 2012, yet many people still don't know what they are, what it does or where it fits in their current make-up regime.

The BB Cream is a blemish/beauty balm which was introduced as a skin primer that served to cover up redness, pimples and age spots, creating a good base to build on.

Today they are used more as an all-in-one treatment - tinted, priming moisturiser with SPF properties.  This is mainly due to the additions in the range of tints offered, including shades for the "women of colour".

One suggestion, especially for warmer climates, apply powder over the cream so it sets and looks finished.

Here are some examples of the effects of the BB Cream on the skin, you will see in the Before and Afters a look of healthy looking skin without the obvious appearance of make-up:

Additionally, companies are adding new textures to the market, introducing solid compacts and gels.  Try it for yourself, and see if the BB Cream provides the courage you need.




BROWS AND LIPS

I love when Full Brows are in focus, I'm not a fan of thin, unnatural looking brows.  This season, several designers used Full and Exaggerated Brows on their Spring/Summer runway shows and you will definitely see this trend throughout the period.

Matte lips in many red and pink shades are looks to love for Spring and Summer 2013.

On the topic of lips, BareMinerals is launching their first lip collection "marvelousMOXIE"- 18 Lip Sticks, 14 Lip Gloss and 10 Lip Liners.  The line is to be available May 2013.
