BB and CC creams keep makeup fresh in hot weather

BB and CC creams combine moisturising care with light coverage, making them suitable for high‑temperature days. BB (Blemish Balm) hydrates and evens skin tone, while CC (Colour Correction) adds pigment to reduce redness and offers a mattifying finish. Experts advise applying the creams thinly and blending with a slightly damp sponge for a seamless, natural look. For extra durability, a compact powder can be dusted on top to absorb oil and sweat, and a primer may be used beneath foundation to improve adhesion. Sun protection remains essential; sunscreen should be applied before makeup, and a short waiting period of two to five minutes helps the products set. Matte lipsticks, which contain less oil, are recommended to prevent smearing in the heat.
