Since it seems that the side-chick known as Winter has finally decided to leave the Northeast the hell alone (knocks on wood) and let Spring show-off for a bit, I’ve begun my quest for light coverage alternatives to replace my heavier winter staples.
With the influx of CC and DD creams I thought the BB cream train had left the station a long time ago. How funny is it that Black Radiance is one of the last cosmetic lines to take a stab at the trend (inserts “BP Time” reference). Anywho, I’m a fan of the line, so I was excited to give the BB cream a go. Here I am pre-BB cream:
This hyper-pigmentation is killing me softly, smh
Black Radiance’s True Complexion BB Cream is simply that. A lightweight cream that is lighter than a foundation but heavier than a tinted moisturizer. With only five color selections I was surprised to find a shade that fit me perfectly! Can you guess my shade? Chocolate (she says in a Randy Watson voice)!
The cream gives a weightless, light-to-medium coverage with a soft, dewy finish. My acne scars and hyper pigmentation were covered considerably but not completely concealed. The SPF of 15 is great for everyday sun protection — and I love that the dose of sunscreen doesn’t make my skin look chalky. I took this pic with a flash and look nothing like Casper the Friendly Ghost.
In short? Black Radiance did that! The train came late but I’m so not mad.
