you can use bb cream as makeup base or foundation. (bb cream then foundation for a fuller look) but for everyday use.. you can put that on without the foundation. but if your bb cream doesn't hv 防曬, then apply 防曬 first before bb cream
"""照甘講,BB cream 系咪可以取代foundation?"""
foundation gives you better coverage, so depends on what you need. primer + foundation or bb cream only(if you trusted them)/otherwise, primer + bb cream
according to the beauty bible, don't apply thin, watery-type foundation or tinted, lotion-type moisturizer on top of your sunscreen, because it will reduce the potency of the sunscreen underneath.

you can add foundation on top of bb cream if you want a fuller look. but you can use bb cream alone and you dont need primer with bb cream
My challenge is oily skin with visible pores. I tried using BB cream all over the face and found it too thick. It seems to clog the pores and make the face even oilier.
Then I re-discovered a tube of Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector (Clinique) bought awhile back. It's like a soft putty that fill in the pores. It's also very matte. I'd put it on after putting on sunscreen, on on the T-zone, around my nose, and on my cheeks where the pores are bigger. I notice the shine is gone instantly, and the surface feels very smooth.
After putting on the Pore Minimizer, I'd put on some concealer under the dark circles. Then powder on some mineral powder. That's all i put on my face. The coverage is good enough for everyday.
I usually touch up mid-day. The past weekend I spent 8+ hours outdoor in the heat and sun. My face didn't get too oily. So I'm pretty happy with the Pore Minimize. It's like $20 and a tube should last awhile 'cos you just need a little each time.
