1) what coverage do you want?
if you're wanting a light converge, BB Cream is perfect for you. if you're looking for coverage, I suggest a medium coverage foundation. this means you can tone it down or build it up!
2) what skin type do you have?
all foundations/bb creams suit different skin types. most of them will tell you on the bottle, if not on their website. if you can't seem to find what you're looking for then keep reading!
3) read reviews.
see what other people think of the product and get a better insight into it!
4) a colour that will suit your skintone.
my recommendation is to never order a foundation/bb cream from a picture (online) unless you're 100% sure it will match you. if in store, test the product against your jawline, never your hand!
5) can't find your colour?
if you have very dark or pale skin, drugstore foundations are normally not suited for you. high end foundations have a more broad range of colours. if you have pale skin and a tight budget then I recommend buying a pure white foundation. you can find some of these on Amazon and for very, very cheap prices ( the one I got is £4 ) if you mix this in with a foundation too dark for you, it will instantly lighten it.
i hope this helps anyone and let me know if it did in the comments!💕-E
