We recently wrote about how trying to find the right BB cream for women of color is basically a wild goose chase. We'd like to revisit that topic with a product that delivers the goods, as well as show you a video that illustrates how to apply it. Check it out above.
This is a great tutorial for two reasons. First, the vlogger/artist, Ashleigh of Beauteous Max, goes into the science behind why mass brands haven't caught up with department and prestige brands when it comes to offering a wider amount of hues with the right amount of coverage. Second, you get to observe her apply the product with ninja-like skill.

Watch as Ashleigh goes all glam and flawless in mere seconds, then head to Sephora and get the BB cream and a good foundation brush. Copy these skills in the comfort of your own bathroom, then emerge satisfied. Better yet, try the technique with a good foundation.
Here's hoping that mass brands get in the game with a wider range of BB creams. Until then, the video has a point, which is that you may have to spend a little more $$ for the product. But, after seeing results like these, it's totally worth it. You only have one face, so treat it to the best you can afford.
