PRIMER vs FACE SERUM vs FOUNDATION vs BB CREAM


Primer, face serum, and BB Cream are categorized as preparing products before applying foundation, or a compact powder.

Primer :
Makeup primer is one of those beauty secrets that can make a big difference in the look and wear of your makeup. It preps your skin for makeup and creates a smooth base that makeup can adhere well to. If you’ve tried a foundation that looks fantastic on a friend or a model in a magazine only to be disappointed with the results, using makeup primers can make a big difference. Even if you are happy with the foundation you are currently using, a layer of cosmetics primer underneath can bring it to a whole new level.

Face Serum :
A face serum is a clear, thick, liquid beauty product often formulated to target a specific problem. Some people use them to help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, while others choose formulas that help prevent acne and brighten the skin.

Foundation :
Foundation is a skin coloured cosmetic applied to the face to create an even, can manage your skin colour to the complexion, to cover flaws, and, sometimes, to change the natural skintone.

BB Cream :
 BB cream is all-in-one facial cosmetic product to replace serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation, and sunblock. It can be worn alone as a tinted moisturizer, over serum and moisturizer as a regular foundation, and under powder, depending on the desired amount of coverage.


In brief, BB Cream also contains the primer, face serum, and primer. There are some BB Cream containing primer, serum and moisturizer but separate foundation. Personally, I prefer BB Cream that contains no foundation because we can use our favorite foundation in accordance with the specific colors and textures to suit our skin.
"I recommend to choose BB Cream and primer with an SPF especially if we are living in Indonesia. Besides being able to prevent black spots that are really nasty, also gives us a sense of secure feeling despite being under direct sunlight." J


My Top Beauty Products:








This thing works nicely but I don’t know why I don’t feel really attached with BB Cream so this is the only BB Cream I tried and prefer using moisturizer, primer, sunblock, etc based on my needs because I can combine all of the products from any brands that can work well at their specific products. 
That is my personal opinion, you can try and figure it out by yourself what pleased if you rather using one by one preparing products or prefer BB Cream for more practical, etc. Take your time and enjoy it!
