20 Best Bb Cream For Dark Skin (2023 Updated)

This is a review for Purlisse Ageless Glow Serum BB Cream With SPF 40. I got thisBB Cream in my August #Boxycharm box. I was pleasantly surprised with it’s finish and the coverage it provided. I typically wear full coverage foundation with glow drops mixed in to create a dewy finish so I was excited to try out a BB cream with a glowing finish.

I knew going in that this cream wouldn’t provide as much coverage as my regular foundation. I applied it with my usual primer and concealer. Together they gave me a decent amount of coverage and a nice glow.

My freckles and any texture on my skin were blurred but still visible. It left my skin feeling hydrated and didn’t settle in too deeply into any of my fine lines. I also found that with powder and setting spray it lasted most of the day.

Although, I don’t think this will replace my full coverage foundation, I do think it is a great option for days when I want to go with a more natural/light look. I also like that it includes wrinkle fighting ingredients and sunscreen.

Overall a great product that I am glad I tried! #foundation #BBCream #EveryDayMakeUp.

Great bb cream, leaves my skin looking a tiny bit dewy, which I love for the summer, and lets my freckles peak through a bit! Nice, light fragrance. The only negative is that I find it gets darker over time? (Mind you, we are talking after like nine months, so that’s past the shelf life anyways!).

First off I want to start by saying, this is not a bad product in general, just the word “light” was so vague but I thought I’d still try it. The product is definitely more on the tanned side so not a good look for my porcelain complexion.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone buy this online unless a sample is offered or you can test in a store.

Having used Nivea tinted day cream before, I decided to try this new product from Nivea, I find it even better; goes on smoothly and lasts well. Reasonable price too. Would like a medium tint next time if they make it.

This BB Cream is Absolutely perfect and my favorite! I’ve tried foundation after foundation from many different Brands. The color wasn’t right, the finish wasn’t right , you name it, it was a problem.

I saw this in a video review and figured why not give it a whirl. It quickly became my favorite !!! I would never need another foundation again if I didn’t love to try new foundations. It’s a lightweight, buildable bb cream, has great coverage, moisturizing, and added SPF of 50 PA+++ it’s also pretty affordable! I would have easily paid $50-60 for these results.

It looks so good on the skin , it feels so very hydrating, lasts all day and has benefits for your skin. I highly recommend trying You will not regret it. Absolutely perfect. I’ve tried foundation after foundation from many different high end brands and could never get it right.

The color wasn’t right, the finish wasn’t right—you name it, it was a problem. I saw this in a video review and was so excited to try this. Totally a GAME CHANGER!!! I would never need another foundation again if I didn’t love to use different ones so much.

It’s a lightweight, buildable bb cream, great coverage, and added 50pa+++SPF. I usually don’t wear makeup daily because i was never happy with whatever foundation I was trying. It looks so good, feels so good, and helps your skin.

Buy this. You will not regret it. (If it’s helpful, I have medium skin with warm yellow undertones.

I love this product as a mixer, it’s rare that I will use my Missha as a stand alone complexion product, not because it isnt good, I just like more coverage. So far every foundation I have mixed with my Missha #27, has mixed successfully, no issues, tnhis is great if you like to sheer down a foundation.

Missha also plays very nicely with other products, not just foundations, my NARS Dior highlighters sit icely on top and dont get eaten up by the BB beneath them. If it is cool enough, you wont need to set this product with powder however the more humid it get, the more likely it is you will need powder.

I have been experimenting with using powder foundations to sett my Missha because I do not like the Two Faced multi-purpose powder as a stand-alone complexion product and this seems to be working, the Missha has just enough colour to it to over-ride the yellow tint I loathe in my Two Faced Golden Beige Powder.

Of the sprays I’ve tried, the Ofra Makeup Fixer seems to work the best, its a freakin’ excellent spray. I have been asked often about primers, in the second photo pictured here is my “home made primer” label.

Basically I buy my favourite mini’s and mix the together to get my perfect primer. In my country (Australia) mini’s cost anything from $10 – $27 and contain on average 15mls of product. The bottle I made cost about $70 to make and I got about 115mls of primer and It turned out very effective and very high quality, I would recomend it next time you need a primer get a reputable drugstore brand as a base (I used Flower Beauty) then add in what you need, I added Smashbox Illuminating, Too Faced Hangover, Estee Lauder Maybelline for grip, Laura Mercier for hydration and finally Mecca-Max Illuminating.

This is my #1, my Holy Grail, my Ride or Die BB cream. You can truly control the coverage. from sheer to full. Now I have dry skin, so I cannot attest to how this dies on oily skin. But after going through numerous, and I mean NUMEROUS tubes of my Missha M Perfect Cover BB cream with SPF it’s the one I rely on the most that will not fade, cake up, bunch up, pill up on me.

I trust it when I need to look my best. In the summer I may set it with a light dusting of powder. in the winter or colder months I dont need to bother. I absolutely love this stuff!!! And for someone that has cooler almost ashy undertones ( pale Italian here with gray/ashy NOT the typical olive) this is my perfect shade match.

I absolutely love this bb cream! I’m used to wearing the , which I also love but I think I’ll be replacing it with this one. This is seriously so great if you’re someone who likes to wear lighter make up and don’t want a full coverage look.

It does exactly what it claims to do by enhancing the skin, it just smooths out the skin flawlessly while adding light or medium coverage depending on how much you build it up. I love how much it looks like skin, you can’t even tell you have anything on.

What I love most about this one is it’s fragrance free, unlike the Garnier one so it’s great for sensitive skin. I also love the finish of this one, it illuminates the skin so beautifully leaving it looking healthy and radiant without looking oily.

It lasts all day long for me, and looks better and better throughout the day. This is dermatologist recommended and is free from harsh ingridents, and don’t find this breaks out my skin at all. The only negative I can think of is how much product you get, it’s not really a lot but it’s nice it has a pump.

I feel like this is a hidden gem and although it’s a little on the pricey side, I would highly recommend trying this out! 🤍✨.

I’ve tried other cheaper foundations, but I always circle back to this one. It’s the best. Lightweight and looks natural while still providing coverage.

Have been using this for years. It goes on smoothly and doesn’t look “cakey” yet gives good coverage and lasts the entire day. Bonus for the SPF.

I get compliments all the time about my skin and think it’s partly bc of this bb cream I mix with Elta MD tinted sunscreen and use as foundation. I’m about 40yo and don’t like to go without this. recommended by my aesthetician.

I saw some good reviews on this and I am always looking for things to improve the look of my skin without embarking on an extensive prep and makeup regime. I’m looking for something that appears natural.

At 57 that may be the impossible dream! I chose the Light/Clair for my complexion as a copper blonde. The incorporated tints turned my skin orange, not unlike the fake tans of twenty years ago. This is an appropriate corrective creme for someone with a blue undertone to their skin as it would cancel out out imperfections give their skin a warm glow.

My Scandinavian ancestry gives me the rarer yellow undertone. Unfortunately, it only turns me orange. The product did however moisturize and produce an even sheen. Just not the right product for me.

One of the most common requests I get is to share more budget friendly products. So today’s post is about this drugstore BB cream. I get compliments to my complexion every time I use it. It truely corrects imperfections, evens skintone and leaves a smooth flawless finish.

It is very hydrating and has skincare benefits as well. It has a runny consistency so it might take time to get used to and figure out the right amount of product. It comes out white with tiny beautifying beads that transform to match your skintone.

There are only a few shades so finding a true match for everyone might be tricky. I use the shade Light (second lightest out of four). TIP: while it is a multi tasking product it doesn’t offer sun protection.

I use a moisturizer with SPF under it.

I purchased the L’Oréal Anti-Redness BB Cream on Amazon for less than $8, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! It’s pretty runny, so a little bit goes a really long way. Weirdly enough, I’ve discovered that I actually get better coverage using less product.

It pours out green, but quickly adjusts to my skin tone. I usually do my contour and highlight over the BB cream. But this BB cream provides such nice, lightweight coverage that I like to use it even on lazy days because it makes me feel like I made an effort lol 😂 it’s so lightweight that sometimes I forgot I’m even wearing makeup! 100% recommend this product!! 💚.

This is an absolute holy grail product for me. It is so easy to quickly apply when I need to put a face on very fast. I really like the coverage. It covers imperfections but doesnt look like your face is caked with foundation.

It is very smooth, it does have dimethicone in it, which is what gives it the slip it has. I don’t love that ingredient but the product is so amazing I can look past that. I love this product for all seasons as well.

It’s not drying in the winter. And it’s not oily in the summer. I have combination skin that gets extremely oily. I have gone through almost 3 full tubes of this! I’m currently trying out other products but just writing this review makes me want to go buy it again.

Literally going straight to Sephora’s website lol I highly recommend.

This is the end of a fantastic relationship but that being said it was well worth the trip. The color choices were perfect to every skin tone. Though its a BB creme it was close to an everyday foundation.

It certainly layered like one but it has SPF which made it a go to even for the beach. Needless to say my disappointment it was discontinued. I looked high and low for a replacement and cheeers to Smashbox for making a similar product.

Im now using their Halo all in one tinted moisturizer. And best part the color tones are the same.

I have tried to find a replacement for this by Smashbox and all the other brands and there is absolutely no comparison. I have literally bought and tried every product available and I’m not even 30% happy with them.

I have combination skin, prone to breakouts and selective dry areas and this is literally the only product that I can use that doesn’t do further damage and actually helps my skin. Please listen to your customers as I have read the numerous reviews asking and begging you to keep making this product.

I know countless customers that have said the same thing and your company has not listened to your customers in the past and those very good, loyal customers have lost faith in your newer products as they do not work as well as the older ones that you chose to discontinue.

Keep this product because you can clearly see from the reviews that is is an awesome product that is highly in demand!!!.

Great product for multiple different reasons. First and foremost I love a BB cream overall I have more sensitive-dry skin and prefer lighter coverage to just even out my skin tone while also providing skin-care ingredients and SPF.

This particular BB cream encapsulates all of that. I never need to use a primer as it has one built in, and I don’t typically set my face or utilize setting spray with this product as it wears on my skin beautifully through-out the day.

If, however, I am looking to amp up my look for more of a glam make-up day this product still wears well with other products, you can layer and I’ve never had another product not sit nicely on top of this so I can achieve that full glam look if I so choose to.

I love that the shade is fair enough which can be difficult for me to find in a BB cream as shade ranges are usually more limited. Finally this product leaves my skin feeling hydrated and it feels like my skin, never cakey.

I also get dry patches in the winter and it helps to reduce the look, whereas most facial products make my dry spots more noticeable.

This thing honestly is amazing! I have no idea how it is so cheap yet SO GOOD! I (and I can’t stress this enough) freakin LOVE it! It goes smoothly on skin, blends like a dream, decent amount of coverage, makes skin look dewy and nice without settling into fine lines and making pores look big.

I mean. this is the real deal! It also blends nicely with other products, for example, for more coverage I blend it together with a drier concealer (I don’t like the look of heavy makeup), and it just looks like skin! I purchased Light-Medium and it has a bit of a golden undertone so makes me more tan than I am, but that’s no problem.

ALSO, it doesn’t make my skin break out! 5* all around from me!.
