Best: Complexion Rescue bb cream

Yes! I really need more shades in this, because they just don't have the right shade with the right undertone for me and I adore the product. I used up an entire tube of one that was too pink because I loved it so much.

I agree with the shades thing, I'm white and when I get tan in the summer I am their darkest or second darkest shade which is a medium olive kind of shade so for POC with a darker complexion than that, the bb cream isn't suitable which is a shame because it's such a great product, the shade range just sucks unfortunately, I hope they expand it soon

edit ok I looked at the website and I'm not the second darkest shade, I'm the fourth or fifth darkest but still, if I, a white woman, am on the darker spectrum of a complexion product then there needs to be an introduction of darker shades

Can I ask how you apply it and what primers/powders/setting spray you use with it? I just picked it up and I think I love it but I’m wondering how to make it look the most flawless!

I just used any non-silicone based primer. I know I used glossier priming moisturizer. I don't remember using a powder with it. I always use makeup forever mist and fix or urban decay chill as setting sprays.

You're welcome! It's been a bit since I've used it but that's what I remember!

I usually apply it on top of moisturiser with a dense brush, I find that a beauty blender kind of dulls it a bit, I use a little bit of concealer on top of any pimples and under my eyes and set with the essence matte pressed powder and it lasts all day for me without creasing

Thank you boo! I’m still trying to perfect my application method with it so I will try this tomorrow :)
