BB/CC creams
I found this SpecialChem article of interest. I wasn’t aware of this market.
So, can I make a BB cream simply by adding pigments to one of our existing face creams? -

The answer to that question is…maybe.
Pigment particles, no matter how small you grind them, need to be suspended properly, or over time, they settle out. Suspending ability is more a function of yield value than of viscosity, so even your more viscous face creams may not have enough suspending strength to produce a stable product.Unfortunately, short of spending 30K or so on an advanced viscometer, there’s no way to tell how much suspending ability a cream will have beforehand - you’ll just have to test the stability in an oven to find out. -
Excellent point. That will rule out the emulsion systems then, but I still have the carbomer creams. I’ll have a go at formulating one I think, just for fun, I have plenty of pigments.
