Bb Burst Tinted Gel Cream

Once was a favorite....

When I first tried this product a year ago, it became me go to. My second and third bottle were a different story; both bottles quickly turned into a separated coagulated mess. It won't remix, the shade looks grey and it goes on sticky wet. Unfortunately I will not be repurchasing.

Separates After A Few Months

Loved it at first, but after a few months it separates into an unusable mess. Waste of money, since its not cheap.

Terrible product, color oxidate in your skin. It leaves your skin feeling greasy but no coverage at all.

This is awful. It sticks, streaks, melts, and is generally the worst performing Tinted Moisturizer I've ever wasted money on.

White cast

It's very hydrating and feels comfortable on the skin, but it has a white cast. I was surprised by this because I've only ever had that happen with sunscreens. I went back to the store and tried darker shades because I thought I had just bought the wrong shade, but they all seem to have this problem. Aside from this issue, coverage is nice and subtle, so this would probably work for people with lighter skin - I'm bummed that I can't really use it.

Most everyone is applying this wrong!

Holy grail status. This is literally the clean, skincare infused version of MAC F&B foundation, Everyone I’ve seen apply this (and mostly all of the poor reviews) is applying it wrong: You MUST apply a thin layer with fingertips, warming up the product first then spread and rub it in pretty vigorously all over, until you feel the product get stiff/ slightly tacky. Now that you’ve created this tacky base layer, you can go in and build up coverage with fingertips, sponge, brush, however you’d like. IMO, this is pretty budge proof and dare I say waterproof… very much like F&B. It’s extremely skin like, and feels like nothing once it settles and sets. I’m a MUA with 10+ years experience.. this will be a staple. Everything applies beautifully on top of this. So please please try applying this product the correct way, and then you can judge whether or not you love it!

Natural and Glowy Finish

I absolutely love this product!!!!! Gives the most beautiful “your skin but better” look ! Extremely hydrating, lightweight, glowy and natural . Perfect for no makeup makeup. Love it with the kosas concealer as well.

it's ok I guess

Smells like a box of crayons, color match is not neutral enough, a tiny bit too orange for a neutral. It does look nice on my skin though just by itself and feels fine with no texture. I have dehydrated combo skin and it melts into my skin just fine. It is kinda like a watery gel and not really like a cream. In order to use this, I'm going to have to mix it with a little bit of blue and white foundation mixers which defeats the purpose of it being a tinted moisturizer but I missed my window for returning so I'm gonna grin and bare it. Hopefully they come out with olive tones or better neutrals but for now, I would not repurchase

Want to love

I want to love this so bad but every time I wear it I get breakouts. I found that application was best when using my fingers to press it into the skin and it looked beautiful but it’s not worth the breakouts

Greasy

Greasy and separates on the skin. Decent color match though.

Grew on me

I bought this product on a recommendation from a “clean makeup” influencer. Initially, I was disappointed with consistency and smell of the product, but I keep giving it a try and I’m glad I did! I’ll apply it with my fingers then blend with a foundation brush, and it looks SO natural. Once it sets, the smell goes away and it gives great all-day coverage. I have acne prone combination skin and I find it doesn’t cling to my dry patches or clog my pores. Give it a chance - I will be repurchasing!

Terrible consistency and smell

Okay, I never write reviews but this product had a terrible consistency, it separated almost immediately when I pumped it onto the back of my hand, into oily chunky globs (see picture). It says it’s fragrance free but the smell was awful. It applied streaky and when I tried to blend it had already dried down, so it pilled quite a bit. The color was nice but that’s about it.
