You have a date. You're ecstatic. You have figured out your outfit. Everything is in place. Before heading out, though, you look at the mirror and your face looks like it needs major help, even though you just washed it with a face wash and even applied a cream. Especially, given India's extreme weather, this is a major challenge for everyone. Don't worry, for we have the solution - and it works like magic. You just need to try it out once and you'll swear by it forever.

The product we are talking about, is something you definitely find in your girlfriend's bag. It's called a 'BB cream'. A BB cream is just like a regular cream, except you need to apply just a tiny bit as compared to a regular cream. It's tinted, but don't worry about that, as that is precisely the reason that gives you an even complexion, post application.

Technically, a BB cream is neither a cream nor a foundation - but something in between. It's much lighter than a foundation (which you probably have never used unless you work in front of the camera), and heavier than a regular cream. You can use it just like you use a regular cream - but make sure the quantity is much, much less, and you apply it all over your face in tiny dots and then blend it really well with your finger tips.

Apart from making your face look like a million bucks, BB creams usually come with other benefits as well, such as sun protection and anti-oxidising agents. We say try it, and embrace it like a man.
