“Knowing what look you like will help you in choosing the right foundation.

Spyksma describes a BB cream as the perfect option for minimalists among us.

To apply, simply use your fingers or a damp beauty blender.
Spyksma recommends using a touch of foundation on top of both creams for long-lasting results.
