BB Cream for Spring!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Vanderbilt chapter.

 

I know that many of you don’t like wearing heavy foundation, and I am definitely in the same boat. I dislike the look of mask-like makeup, and very often, foundation can end up looking overly cakey and unnatural. If you want to enhance your naturally healthy skin and its radiant glow instead of covering it up, I have the perfect product for you: BB cream. BB cream, or beauty balm, is not new to the makeup world, but it has gotten a lot more popular in the last year or two. It originated in South Korea and Japan in 1985, and it has slowly moved to Western markets. 

 

BB cream is now very popular, and it can be found at all price points in many different stores. The reason why this cream has gained so much recognition is because it’s supposed to act as an all-in-one product. It has the properties of being a moisturizer, serum, primer, foundation, and sun block. Not only is it an all-purpose product, but it gives your skin a very glowy and natural finish. Jennifer Lopez, Mila Kunis, Jessie J, Angelina Jolie, and Sandra Bullock are just a few A-list celebrities who swear by this magical product. 

If you are looking for a new beauty product for spring, then I highly suggest you try a BB cream. Your complexion will look more radiant, and your skin will look healthier and less tired. I don’t know any girl who wouldn’t want that, so before you wait any longer, go out and purchase one of the latest trends in beauty history. 

Stacey Oswald, originally from South Florida, came to Vanderbilt as a member of the class of 2015 and got involved with HerCampus her freshman year. She became assistant editor that year and is now the Campus Correspondent for Vanderbilt HC as a sophomore. Stacey is currently a columnist for Ask Miss A- Nashville and the life section of The Hustler. She's also very involved in her sorority, Kappa Delta, as well as Invisible Children. Outside of school and her extracurriculars, Stacey finds happiness in many sources, the most crucial being exercise and the sun. She loves to attend exercise classes and is an avid runner; she recently completed the Country Music Half Marathon. She also loves Vitamin D, especially when on the beach- though of course, she only soaks up the sun after applying SPF. A few of the things Stacey couldn't live without? Good food (especially from Sweet Cece's, Bricktops, and Samurai Sushi), great books (The Hypnotist's Love Story is a recent favorite), her family back in Florida, her wonderful boyfriend, and all of the great friends she's made at Vanderbilt.
