Cheat your way to even skin — without foundation

You don’t need to cake on the makeup for a flawless complexion.

We all have those days when we don’t look our best. Understandably, we turn to makeup to cover up our flaws. Foundation is a quick fix, but also temporary.

The key to good complexion lies in a regular skincare regimen — which, truthfully isn’t an instant remedy. While skincare products aren’t miracle workers, a twice-daily routine of cleansing, toning and moisturizing with the right skin brightening ingredients will improve skin health and build its immunity in the long-term. And we should always seek out long-term results.

But what do you do while you wait for skin to repair itself?

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Use these tricks to achieve that lit-from-within look.

Start with BB cream

These lightweight creams are formulated to give you enough coverage to give skin the appearance of an even tone. Some also contain SPF, as well as moisturizing and brightening ingredients to help in your quest for an even tone. You need not apply the BB cream all over your face. You may blend it over areas that need to be evened out.
