The whole purpose of foundation is to cover and even out all the negative things about your skin (dark spots here, wrinkles there), but what if your foundation could do more? What if your foundation actually helped get rid of the aspects it was supposed to be covering? In the last few years, BB and CC creams have emerged in the skin care and cosmetics categories, meaning foundations had to up the ante, too! These bases are way more than just complexion correctors; they’re also filled with antiaging benefits. That means you can keep one fewer bottle on your vanity.
